I too was brought up in LS13. Thanks to Norman Tebbit, I had to get on my bike in 1981 and move south for a job. The job brought me back up north after nine years - sadly to the wrong side of the Pennines - but home will always be Leeds. Unusually, my wife who was born in Stalybridge thinks of Leeds as home. School used to dish out free Bramley season tickets but we had to buy a Leeds season ticket for 70p. In those days Bramley played Sundays and Leeds played Saturdays so I had the best of both worlds.

People round Chorley ask me why Leeds? Why not!! I was born there! I am proud to be a Loiner!

It's Schama.

LS6 Loiner.

Why change the habit of a lifetime.

You made an astute call on Lauiti'iti - supported by some stats regarding his alleged recurring injury problems which appeared relatively unsupported by his record of availability.

Could have been pushing his claim for one of those rare Leeds Testimonial thingies had he been allowed to stick around as he is doing to great effect at Belle Vue - or whatever it's called these days.

Not quite LS10 but it's ok i'm use to you being wrong, and secondly who said i was accusing YOU of being a Aussie bandwagoner? Calm your guilty conscious and hypocritical self down, because isn't the reasons you give about wanting to watch higher skill valid for say a preference of watching Leeds over the likes of Hunslet and Bramley etc. Now sure it might not match the NRL but what you see at Headingley is above what you'd see at John Charles Stadium.
As for me when i get my mail in the post it reads 'LEEDS' on it therefore i'm from Leeds and shall support Leeds and i might live in one area but i have strong connections to many parts of Leeds ranging from North, South, East and West so i truely feel like i am a Leeds lad and not restricted to one postcode.

No, no you can't just go and support any team you want willie-nillie - Hell no. You have to support the nearest team to the post code of your current residence/place of birth.

Why?

Because some bloke on the internet you've never met says so.
