The Whites will travel to Queens Park Rangers in the third round of the FA Cup. Many Leeds fans voiced their disappointment on Twitter.
As with every other club in the top two tiers of English football, Leeds United anxiously waited on Monday evening to see who they would draw in the third round of the FA Cup.
Could it be a leading Premier League club, a chance to show off just how far the Whites have come? Maybe even the chance to turn the old enemy Manchester United over as they did in 2010?
Or could it be a non-league side, which would increase the odds of Leeds being shown on television, the romance of a plucky small outfit taking on one of England’s most prestigious clubs?
The answer, as it turned out, was neither – the footballing gods were not kind to the Whites, the third-round draw giving Leeds a trip to fellow Championship side Queens Park Rangers.
As draws go, getting a team in the same division as you, that you’re now due to play three times in the space of two months, and with a return trip of nearly 400 miles involved, is hardly the best possible outcome.
Many Leeds fans could hardly contain their disappointment following the draw, taking to Twitter to voice their annoyance:
