It’s another week of unwanted publicity at Leeds United and you have to wonder just when we’re going to stop attracting so much interest.
By all means, I’m glad when the club is being spoken about in the right way as it underlines the continued size and reputation we enjoy.
However, this season we’ve seen a number of stunts go wrong and with the badge fiasco still fresh in our minds, we’ve now got this trip to Burma.
With that said, then, the Scandinavian Supporters Club has released a statement – via Phil Hay on Twitter – condemning the decision, and many have reacted to their comments.
Let’s see what has been said:
The Leeds United Supporters Club of Scandinavia (LUSCOS) call on Leeds United to abandon their tour to Burma. "The trip will damage Leeds United’s reputation and standing."https://t.co/Gs3o5FIU09

there's a lot of pressure for it to get canned so it must be a possibility.

What a joke response from Leeds fans. We find anything to get outraged over.

True enough. But Moscow for the World Cup is fine. . . ?

The Verdict
It amazes me how we can generate so much interest despite being nowhere near the Premier League for some time – it’s just a shame it’s so often been for the wrong reasons!
We could have so many talking about us in a positive light if we just got decisions right but, for now, it looks as though we’re prone to still making more than a frequent clanger.
