United started their pre-season on 12th July 2008 at the Kit Kat Crescent against York City. Gary McAllister had twenty-four players on his team-sheet and made a complete change at half time. In the first half his line up was: Casper Ankergren; Frazer Richardson, Rob Bayly, Paul Huntington, Ben Parker; Jonathan Douglas, David Prutton, Peter Sweeney, Andy Hughes; Jermaine Beckford, Curtis Weston. A fine run and cross by Andy Hughes saw Jermaine Beckford force the ball home from close range to give United the lead after twenty-five minutes. With Rob Bayly partnering Paul Huntington in central defence and Curtis Weston partnering Jermaine Beckford up front Leeds looked disjointed at times. Soon after the goal Beckford should have doubled the lead but hit the side netting, while before half time York midfielder Sodje should have equalised but Ankergren saved with his feet but two minutes before half-time he did equalise at the second attempt. For the second half United lined up: Alan Martin; Scott Gardner, Lubomir Michalik, Ian Westlake, Alan Sheehan; Sebastien Carole, Jonathan Howson, Neil Kilkenny, Bradley Johnson; Enoch Showunmi, Andy Robinson, with debuts for the last two. Robinson impressed and nearly scored with a curling free-kick after Alan Sheehan had been brought down. Sheehan also sent in a shot which was just over the bar. Bradley Johnson suffered a knee injury and with three minutes left on the clock he was replaced by Tom Elliott and just on time Alan Martin made sure the scores remained level with a good fingertip save. Sebastian Sorsa remained on the bench, being the only player not to get a run. York too gave chances to two different teams and Goalkeeper Josh Mimms, Full Backs Danny Parslow and Andy McWilliams, Central Defenders Josh Radcliffe and Steven Hogg and Midfielders Jimmy Beadle, Simon Rusk, Niall Henderson and winger Liam Shepherd and strikers Richard Brodie and Adam Boyes were the players to be substitutes. There were 2,387 Leeds supporters in the crowd of 4,405 in a game refereed by Jon Moss of Leeds.
