Many Leeds United supporters have been reacting to the club’s Twitter post in which they shared a link to the club’s website informing the fans they can tune in to the club’s second-round clash against Hull City via the Carabao Cup website.
The post details how the Elland Road faithful can watch the game and informed them they will need to purchase a £10 match pass in order to access the live stream. It goes on to explain that the stream will be an ‘EFL production, with single camera coverage and neutral commentary’.
Here is how a sample of the Leeds supporters have responded to the news they will need to pay in order to watch this fixture online.
Should be free. I have paid £50 for membership this season and not gonna get to a game which is fine nobody’s fault. But at least give me something for my money!

It’s clear from the above responses that these fans are less than impressed by the fact they will be required to pay £10 in order to watch this game. Many continued to make their feelings known in the replies.

£10 to watch our kids play a League one side? Very steep

Before anyone cries, the EFL set the price, not us.

Will you be paying £10 to watch the Carabao Cup tie?
Yes
No
Leeds United take on Fulham at Elland Road in the Premier League this coming weekend and so you could argue this cup tie comes as an unwelcome distraction ahead of that fixture. Marcelo Bielsa’s side suffered a narrow defeat at the hands of the champions Liverpool and will no doubt be looking to get their first three points on the board this Saturday.
