Our second issue of 2021/22 is on sale outside Elland Road for the game with West Ham on Saturday 25th September. We’re overdue a win!

One of the best things about fans being back at Elland Road is fanzines being back at Elland Road, so this issue will be on sale outside before the kick-off. Hurrah!

That said, getting a copy delivered to your home is still a very good idea, as it will arrive free of beer stains and torn corners, unless your postie is having a bad morning. Details on how to support us by subscribing can be found here.

As always our eight times-nominated and two-times FSF Award winning fanzine (plus one for the podcast) includes lots of pages of articles and artwork about what used to be the pain but now is the glory of being a Leeds United supporter, for 100 long, long years.

This time we’ve got articles on coming back to Elland Road, overhauling the squad, UEFA Cup happinesses, Adam Forshaw and much more.

Free-to-read in this issue is this article by Jennifer Barrett, with photos by Lee Brown, on the feeling of being back for the Crewe game. Sure, it was only Crewe. But it was Elland Road, after a long time.

Even though we’re back selling at Elland Road, subscriptions are the best way to help TSB’s world keep going round.
