A number of Leeds United fans have taken to Twitter to comment on the Elland Road club releasing a trailer for their upcoming fly-on-the-wall documentary based on the 2018-19 season (official Leeds website).

Set to be released on Amazon Prime in August, “Take Us Home: Leeds United” will feature exclusive behind-the-scenes footage of the campaign just gone, in which Marcelo Bielsa took the Whites to the brink of Premier League promotion.

Local production company The City Talking – with production in partnership with Eleven Studios – captured footage over the course of the 2018-19 season which ranges from sit-down interviews to matchday preparation.

The so-called “Spygate” scandal is also chronicled, while Bielsa has his first sit-down one-on-one interview for 20 years as he reminisces about the campaign in full, and famous Hollywood actor Russell Crowe – a Leeds fan – narrates the docu-series.

Here is what some Leeds fans on social media said about the club’s announcement:

To when we bottled promotion to the extreme. Can’t wait to relive it lads.

Nobody wants to relive this. Bottled it to such an extreme that we broke records doing it. I’d rather spoon my eyes out and melt them down than go through that again

Glad @thecitytalking made this. They get it, as does @russellcrowe.

Filled with so much excitement right now. Even though we know how it ended.

Only issue is the sequel these are rarely as good – then again, Back to The Future II was a better movie #lufc

Season 2 better have a good ending. Season 1 rivals Game of Thrones for worst ending possible.

As bad as it ended, it was our best season in years, and I can’t wait to watch it.

Regardless of how the season ended. It’s going to be fantastic seeing ‘behind the scenes’ footage of training and in the dressing room. And, what the lads are like off the pitch. It’ll only amplify our passion for our club #lufc

Let’s watch how we went top, had the most LUFC January ever and then had to watch Norwich and Sheff stroll over the line. Then Derby at home. pic.twitter.com/KDXuL00Xld

Mixed feelings about this tbh, I would rather consign last year to the forgotten files, exciting yes overwhelmed by a disappointment that’s indescribable…and took a few months to shake off

Still heartbroken about last season. This’ll be like watching the build up to your own wedding, only to find out at the last minute she was cheating on you all along.

It’s such a shame that it went wrong, would have absolutely loved this but no chance I’m watching the heartbreak again
