Last Sunday at Elland Road and a sell-out for the first time in six years. The result might not have gone to plan — visitors Newcastle winning 2-0 — but for Leeds United, there were 36,000 signs of progress and unity.
Victory over Rotherham on Saturday would lift Leeds into the play-off places, and Tuesday brings a visit to Liverpool in the EFL Cup quarter-final.
For the first time in years, hope and optimism abound.
Leeds, do not forget, have not finished in the top half of the Championship since 2011 and have reached the play-offs only once since being relegated from the Premier League in 2004.
