Leeds United make supporter request for Bournemouth game ahead of 'special announcements' — YEP 26/9/25
By Graham Smyth
Leeds United have asked for fans to be in their seats by
2.45pm on Saturday before the Bournemouth game for the first of two planned
special announcements.
The Whites take on the Cherries in a 3pm kick-off at Elland
Road on Saturday in what will be their sixth Premier League outing of the
season. A win over Andoni Iraola’s fourth-placed side would let Leeds join them
on 10 points. Leeds go into the game full of confidence thanks to a 3-1 win
away from home at Wolverhampton Wanderers last week, when they scored their
first goals from open play this season either side of a sublime Anton Stach
free-kick.
Prior to the game Leeds will be making the first of two
‘special’ announcements. In a statement the club have requested that fans take
their seats in time to hear the first, 15 minutes before kick-off. The second
will follow at half-time. The statement read: “Leeds United will be making two
special announcements during Saturday’s Premier League fixture with AFC
Bournemouth at Elland Road. Supporters are advised to be seated by 2:45pm for
the first announcement, with a second announcement to follow at half-time. Both
announcements will not want to be missed by loyal supporters who have followed
the club throughout the years. Marching on Together. “
Leeds welcomed good news at Thorp Arch this week with the
return to team training of Jayden Bogle and Daniel James. Bogle limped off in
the late stages of the win over Wolves after taking studs to the top of his
foot in an accidental collision. The right-back only suffered bruising however
and is in contention to face Bournemouth. James sustained a core muscle injury
when he was sent on as a substitute at Fulham and missed the Wolves game. Willy
Gnonto and Lucas Perri however continue to rehab their calf and quad injuries
respectively and neither are available for Saturday.
