With the League One, all Yorkshire play off final looming tensions in a Garforth primary school have reached record levels.
Pupils at Strawberry Fields Primary School hope for a return to the Championship for their beloved Leeds United.
But not deputy headteacher Nathan Atkinson hopes his team can repeat their performance against Southend and gain promotion to the second tier of Football for the first time in over 50 years.
The Year 6 captain, Sam Irish, said: "Mr Atkinson is our football coach and has helped us achieve a lot, I hope he isn't the one smiling back at school after the play off final".
Mr Atkinson added, "All season I have been joking with the children and their parents that it would end up a Leeds Doncaster final and now it's come true".
