What's the 'big fuss' about Leeds? - Yeovil's Peltier

Yeovil Town earn their 30 pieces of silver tomorrow when they once again welcome Leeds United to Huish Park for a 1pm League One showdown.

The Glovers will be hoping for a repeat of last season's attendance when the lure of Leeds provided them with an official attendance in excess of their grounds capacity, as 9,527 people turned out to watch United's 1-0 victory in a stadium which officially holds just 9,400!

However, not everyone in the Somerset town can see the attraction. Take Lee Peltier for example. For the vast majority who aren't aware, Mr Peltier is Yeovil's right-back, who will take on the task of keeping fellow scouser Andy Robinson quiet.

Although the Whites visit last season dwarfed the Glover's average attendance of just 5,468, Peltier is bemused by the fact that so many of the townsfolk are eager to see their illustrious opponents. 'I don't see what the big fuss is about because they are called Leeds,' he said. 'I just take it as any other game really. Everyone will want to play them because they are a big team but to be fair they are in League One.'

At least once the town's big payday is out of the way Peltier can go back to playing in front of the five and a half thousand crowds he so obviously prefers. I somehow suspect that his chairman would much prefer to see his side host the Mighty Whites every week.
