Leeds United fans forced through floods ahead of Swansea clash as footage drops

Leeds United fans have been forced to travel through floods in South Wales ahead of the Championship clash against Swansea on Sunday.

Storm Bert has been hitting the United Kingdom all week, with conditions taking a turn every other day ahead of the game on 24 November.

Swansea delivered an update ahead of kick-off, saying no pitch inspection has been planned and the game is set to go ahead as usual at 3 pm [Adam Pope].

Heidi Haigh, Follow Me and LUFC on X, posted a video of the conditions heading towards Swansea, and it didn’t look good.

She wrote: “Stay safe travelling everyone heading to Swansea.”

Terrible conditions for Swansea v Leeds United

Thankfully, it looks as though the match will not be affected, but fans have been forced into what looks like a dangerous situation just to be there.

Of course, there isn’t much football clubs can do to control the weather and as long as the pitch is playable, Daniel Farke will want the game to go ahead.

Leeds now have the chance to go back top of the Championship on goal difference, after Sheffield United and Sunderland both drew on 23 November.

Isaac Schmidt is the only new absentee for the Whites, with Largie Ramazani looking likely to return to the bench to strengthen the options for Farke.

Consistency is now key heading into the busy Christmas period and finishing the last international break until March, starting it with three points against Swansea would be perfect.

Joe Rodon, Dan James and Joel Piroe will be used to these conditions having all played for the Swans, and they will be relishing the chance to get one over on them again today.

In other Leeds United news, the Whites have been linked with a move for a Swedish defender.
