We’ll try to get back to you as soon as we can, so add support@thesquareball.net to your email address book to help our reply make it through.
First of all, never listen to Dean. Once that issue is solved, make sure you’re logged in and click on the TSB+ tab. From there, you’ll see a picture of Michael’s face and ‘Talk to us!’ plastered across the front of it. Give him a press and the SpeakPipes will be open for you.
The best place on match days is at the stadium end of the Lowfields Road tunnel, on the right hand side as you look towards the ground. We also usually have sellers at the Kop gates, outside the East Stand main entrance, and by the lamppost next to Billy’s Statue. It’s £3 a pop, so bring your change and we’ll love you forever. Or you can subscribe here, and have it shipped right to your door.
For a typical Saturday game, we collect the magazine hot off the press that morning. Subscriber copies are sent out on Monday and Tuesday, after which it’s down to the Royal Mail, who have improved considerably since Shaun Harvey was taken off his round. If you think yours is missing, send us your details here and we’ll investigate.
If something doesn’t fit, isn’t right, or isn’t wanted, you can send it back to us for a replacement or a refund. There should be a returns form included with your order, but if not, please send the item with a note explaining the problem and what you’d like us to do to this address:
The Square Ball
One City West

Ah, you’re after the good stuff, I see. Well, we ship orders every single day.
In the UK, we charge Royal Mail Second Class pricing, to reflect that we might not be able to send your order immediately.
We actually use Royal Mail Tracked 48, so you will get email updates and tracking information for your delivery. You can check the status in the ‘Orders’ section of the ‘My Account’ page, by clicking here.
For International orders, we use Royal Mail International Tracked. We realise this is more expensive for some of you, but it’s much more reliable. You should get tracking information by email, and can also check the status in the ‘Orders’ section of the ‘My Account’ page by clicking here.
Due to shipping restrictions, international orders are restricted to a maximum of 2kg per parcel. If you try to place a heavier order, the checkout will show ‘No shipping options’. You will need to edit your basket to reduce the weight, then place a separate order for extra items.
At the moment, any information we have about sizing is on the product pages. We know that more info would be more useful, but we still can’t find a measuring tape big enough for our heads. If anything doesn’t fit, though, you’re more than welcome to pop it back to us for a return.
Even Jason Pearce needed a hand with the tags, so don’t be ashamed. If there’s something that can’t be answered here, or you fancy sending us some feedback, you can drop us a line here: thesquareball.net/support
It’s normally one of these things:
If those steps don’t fix it then get in touch and we’ll look into it.
Our podcasts work by giving you a private web address – called a TSB+ Feed – that is unique to you. Simply copy and paste your TSB+ Feed into any podcast player that allows you to manually add a podcast. (Please note this isn’t supported by Spotify at this time.)
The process will differ slightly from app to app, but is fundamentally the same for all. (For example, in Apple Podcasts you can manually add a podcast by going to Library > Shows > Edit > Add a Show by URL.)
When you’re ready to add the podcast:
If you have any problems, drop us a line here.
Pocket Casts makes things a bit more fiddly. You need to follow their instructions here: https://support.pocketcasts.com/article/password-protected-podcasts/
We’re working on easier ways to add feeds, but if you have any problems, give us a shout here.
It’s straightforward process:
1. Open the Apple Podcasts app
2. Press the Library button at the bottom
3. Press Edit in the top right hand corner
4. Select Add a Show by URL…
5. Enter this in the Podcast URL box (copy and paste it from here): https://thesquareball.net/my-account/api-keys/
6. Enter the username and password you use on The Square Ball website. Your username is normally your email address.
Then, provided your subscription remains active, it’ll work like any other podcast in the Apple Podcasts app. As always, if you get stuck you can always drop us a message.
Sorry, you can’t. Spotify claim to not support adding password protected feeds, but we’re convinced they’re Leeds hating bas-. Anyway, we’re sorry for the inconvenience on that.
Our free podcast works perfectly well over there, though. Just press here and it’ll open right away.
That’ll be here: https://thesquareball.net/my-account/edit-address/
We’re working on a way to make it a smoother process, but the easiest way to do this is through cancelling your current subscription and restarting with a new one. If there’s still some time left over on your current subscription, give us a poke and we’ll refund the remaining time left for you.
Tragedy! First have a skim through your spam, then check your junk (emails, that is) and if we’re still not there then please let us know. We’ll sort it for you as best we can, here: support@thesquareball.net
Have a click on the ‘LIVE’ tab at the top of the website for any details of our new shows. We’ll have one soon enough, so keep in the loop!
Depending on the venue, there’ll be a few different websites you might need to purchase through. They’ll all be listed on this link: https://thesquareball.net/leeds-united/tsb-live-tour/
Probably, yes. Even if he’s not there, we usually have a shrine.
There are a couple of steps to use this Gift Card to pay for a TSB+ membership.
Because the first month of a TSB+ membership is free, you do not apply the Gift Card at the checkout when you sign up. No money is taken at this point.
After you have started the free trial of TSB+, you need to login to your account dashboard, and go to the ‘Subscriptions’ section — you can follow this link: thesquareball.net/my-account/subscriptions
On that page, find the new subscription. There is a setting for ‘Pay with Gift Cards balance’, and you need to set this to ‘on’ like in the image below.

You need to do this before the end of the first month trial, otherwise the payment will come from your saved payment method. If this happens, please get in touch with us and we’ll sort it for you.
You can also use your account dashboard to add your Gift Card to your account balance.
If you have any questions, please get in touch with us here:Â thesquareball.net/support
If you prefer, you can also buy a gift TSB+ membership by adding a membership to your basket from this page, and at checkout ticking the box marked ‘Give this subscription as a gift to someone else’.
This will allow you to set up and pay for the subscription, and the recipient will receive login details by email.
You can buy TSB gift cards for TSB+ membership, magazine subscriptions or for merch, all from this page:Â thesquareball.net/product-category/merch/gift-cards
