Many Leeds United fans have been reacting to the Yorkshire club’s tweet which shares that they have struck a two-year deal with electronics brand Hisense, which sees them become an official club partner of the Whites.
The club’s tweet relaying this off-the-pitch news includes a link to a post on Leeds United’s official website which explains that Hisense will get ‘high-profile branding’ on the East Stand of Elland Road, while the electronics manufacturer will also be advertised on the club’s pitchside LED boards and their media interview backdrops.
So, how did these Leeds United fans react to the club’s tweet sharing the news of this two-year partnership?

Some of the Whites fans who responded to this tweet reacted positively to this news.
Hisense make some quality TVs. Combined with Radz media skills this could be great for matchday experience.

In the club’s website post discussing this new partnership, it is stated that the Yorkshire club will be proactive in working with Hisense to spearhead brand activity, including exclusive fan offers – which may excite some Whites fans, as plenty of the Leeds supporters that replied to this tweet indicated that they may be on the lookout for a new television.

Meanwhile, the club also explained that this partnership will see Hisense televisions installed at both Elland Road and Thorp Arch, and one particular Whites supporter indicated that they want to see one of these televisions installed in Elland Road’s South-East corner, known as the ‘cheese wedge‘.
Can we get a working TV in the cheese wedge now?
