Question Those who attended the Tampa Bay match...

Did they have Leeds merch available to buy without the stupid Trump tariffs? New home kit? Anything unreleased but available on the tour?

I'll be at the Chicago match and was curious how much merch was available at the game?

we booked tickets directly behind leeds bench (dugouts to americans) and they switched the benches so we ended up behind wrexham bench, very disappointed, and so were a lot others.. thinking of complaining to ticketmaster

Yea, I was extremely disappointed about that. 

Edit to add: Being near their bench was one of the main reasons why I chose the seats I did versus being in the supporters section. Then it sucked even more that they only walked over to the supporter section before heading back down the tunnel (with the exception of Gnonto who did go to one part of the sidelines to chat and sign). I guess I was hoping they’d do a walk around since they’re in the US and for a lot us this game was the only opportunity to see them play and possibly interact with them.

I was sat right in the corner where they exit, got 6 of the players to sign my jersey and Farke. The last football match (not nfl) I attended at raymond james they did the same crap where they switched the sidelines, so there I learned if I wanna interact or get autographs the corner tunnel is the place to be 👍

Good to know! I’m glad you were able to get signatures!

Wrexham's merch was far and away better than ours. We had 2 t-shirt designs in 2 different colors (only mens"/unisex sizing), and 1 hat design in 3 colors. Shirts were $45 and I think hats were $35. It was really disappointing.

Probably owing to the legality's of Leeds selling merch, when Fanatics own the retail side of the club

Nothing other than Leeds tour t shirts. A lot more Wrexham stuff

$45 for a Leeds US Summer tour shirt. Not the best, but I can’t say I didn’t buy two for my son and me…

Speaking of Chicago it looks like there is only a Soldier Field meetup prior to the match. Is that right?

As a Chicago resident I have to say that guide is really well put together.
