My understanding is that the press are allowed to attend but not report live on the games, that the precise details of the matches are not being shared but that the matches will be broadcast shortly after they've been played, I presume on LUTV for a small fee.
I have heard that this is at the request of the German police but that might not be accurate.
The whole thing seems a complete mess and a disregard for us as fans.
Anybody have any other details.
Germany Tour

We have had some very poor owners but none of them have produced a top secret pre-season tour.
Honestly I find it completely bizarre and a total disregard for the fans. Absolutely disgusted with it so much so that I watched Yorkshire v Notts T20 last night.

Everton are in a training camp in Ireland, no issues there...Leeds should have gone there, fantastic fan base in that country.

Not for leeds. At birth in Ireland you have to put on the birth certificate who you will pledge alliance to. There two options Man Utd or Liverpool

Very funny but really we do have lots of Irish supporters. Gary Kelly, David O’Leary, Ian Harte, Robbie Keane and of course Johnny Giles and many others helped create our connection. Don’t forget Big Jack as well.
Elland Road has many Irish present on match day, along with Scandinavian supporters too.

Club have announced that the games will be available to watch on Lutv free shortly after they have been played.
So no reversal on the disgusting decision. The decision is going to disappoint a lot of fans who love the pre season tours and cost the club a lot of £5s from Lutv packages.
The fans answer to this should be a total boycott to the Valencia game. Zero attending would send them the message never to do this again.
In all my years of supporting Leeds this has to be one of the worst decisions ever made. Disgusted.

Valencia will get a very good crowd I think. I’m going at £11 a pop. It will be good to be back at ER.
I get your point though - Germany tour is disgustingly bad for the fans.

The person reporting this on the LUTV site sounds as baffled as anybody as to why the German authorities won't even allow the matches to be live-streamed.
Total lack of preparation from the club, but in all honesty, who would have expected such a belligerent response from the authorities over there?

I hope Leeds have some games planned and know where they're going, because the only game they're mentioned in at the moment is the Valencia game!..
