vermin infestation

You're wasting your time trying to reason with this lot, there's only 2 of them with any decency.

Their mod starts with the abuse but can't take anything back. He's probably very upset as his real team, Arsenal are in the doldrums too at the moment

 

Yeah you''re wasting your time on here

So do everyone a favour and do one

 

Sorry Stephanie, forgot you are a sensitive soul, hurt feelings because you're not up to the job.
Poor mod.

Adios

 

I am, good bye enjoy league one, there are some great days out.

 

I personally don’t understand why that is important.

 

Yeah, they're great days out for leeds fans. Plenty of scarf twirling opportunities.

 

Those scarf twirling fans added up to 25% of your gate yesterday, which would have been a lot more given the tickets. Not many of you go to home games let alone travel far.

 

Let me guess ? Your not from Leeds ?

 

**** off

 

Get back on your sparsely-populated board and chat about the Peacocks there with the other two.

 

DMD not up to the job

 

This boils down to the territorial nature of football support. Leeds have a wide fan base spread over densely populated West Yorkshire with a greater diospora and a greater legacy of glory support from long gone glory days. Hull is the most isolated city in Yorkshire with only rural support across East Yorkshire making us much more like the big NE clubs but without the legacy of historical glory they have, therefore resentment of local glory seekers is far more fierce here. We don't fear lower league football but do fear losing the local support we have built back up since 2002 to top 4 clubs again, which I doubt Leeds will become again even if you do go up.

 

leeds even at their peak in the early 70s were dour, dirty, sly, unimaginative with an undercurrent of illegality

If you had to be a glory hunter back then, why choose this lot when you could have the charisma of MUFC, the Kop & Shankly of LFC, the glamour of CFC

It's like if you had to pick a fantasy woman, you opted for Janice Long over Raquel Welch and Brigit Bardot cos she was relatively local

 

No I’m from Northampton. I’ve supported them for not far off 50 years but admittedly The first few years when I was 5-6 I just used to say I did without knowing much about it all. It was probably around 1980 where my interest increased

I’ve been to games home and away, if they lose it makes me fully pissed off, the following morning I’ll wake up and amongst my first thoughts are the defeat carrying on my negative feel. I’ve been called a plastic fan because I don’t live or originate from Leeds, it doesn’t bother me.

 

Why not support Northampton Town?

Which country do you support in the Olympics?

 

I want Northampton to do well, I watch their results I’ve been to watch them play. If I was getting into football now for the first time as an adult I’d support Northampton but they’re my second team. When I was a kid (5-8) and my older cousins and mates at school supported Leeds, I probably just said I did too. My cousin gave me some wall pennants and a scarf, I loved them at the time and still have them in my loft.

I’d collect the football cards and stickers, I’d hear Leeds had won and as a kid in the 70s you we’re just taught to want to win. My father wasn’t into football despite his cousin playing for Liverpool (under Shankly) and England (something I only found out in my twenties) so why would would any youngster pick a team to support that was not fashionable.

Like I said, it’s the choice many made as a kid, when you fall in love with something or a team it’s hard to let go.

 

Thank you.. If our owner wants to cash in and if the QSI group are really interested in buying Leeds then top 4 could be possible. That’s a few too many ifs though so taking it as things stand I totally agree, it will be about how long we can last in the PL. Sky TV big money investors and agents have killed the game somewhat, yes hypocritical of me as I’d jump at the chance of being brought by the QSI group and I know that divides opinion.

 

What's your cousin's name ? The one who played for Liverpool and England.

 

My fathers cousin not mine. Alan A’Court and if I’d have known as a kid I dare say I’d have supported Liverpool
