Simon Grayson celebrates promotion

Leeds United manager Simon Grayson has thrown his weight behind the bid to get the club's anthem Leeds, Leeds, Leeds into the charts.

The track, also known as Marching On Together, has now been digitally re-mastered and is being released worldwide in 35 countries and in over 500 digital stores on Sunday May 16 as a Digital Download at 79p on iTunes.

The charts are now compiled on a Sunday to Saturday basis so fans are urged buy the track by Saturday May 22 in the hope of securing a chart position the following day in the charts that are compiled by the Official Charts Company and broadcast on most radio stations nationally every Sunday.

The United boss said: "I think it's great that the fans want to see the song in the charts. Quite rightly, it is the main song that everyone associates the song with Leeds United and our fans sing it everywhere.

"To see over 20,000 people register their interest already is massive and only goes to show what a fanbase we have.

"It's all good fun and having won promotion on the field, it'd be great if we could make an impact on the charts as well!" 

The anthem is belted out at every Leeds game and after Saturday's promotion clincher at Elland Road, club skipper Richard Naylor led the crowd of over 38,000 in a rendition of the song after the game.

If over 30,000 Leeds fans buy the track we hope to be in the top 10 by The Official Charts company!

Over 22,500  fans already pledged to buy the digital download on a facebook fansite put together by fans http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=393661090206 titled "Celebrate Promotion by making Leeds, Leeds, Leeds, ( Marching on Together No 1.)"

If 50,000 fans buy the 79p download on the first week of release on iTunes, Leeds, Leeds, Leeds could sit at the top of the charts.

You can hear the track being broadcast throughout the day on Yorkshire Radio and now, on the video player on our home page, you can watch a new video to accompany the song, produced by LUTV's James Stanley.
