Carling Black Label - there's one for the nostalgia. Remember the Stones Bitter Championship? And GBRL sponsored by British Coal?

Ever seen a GB shirt on Ebay with the Coal logo? How retro is that!

On the subject of kits, my second team are York Knights who refuse to go near the old amber/black. It may be a legal thing but to see the York team in hoops would be great. Might not be York's new kit of blue/white but loads of team mess about with kits. At least York in amber/black would be good.

If you remember Clarence Street were the facilities any worse than Cas or other top flight teams? I think not but that's another story for the useless City of York Council to answer.

On the players' shirts there doesn't appear to be any difference in tone of the Leeds BS logo and the amber band? (is this different on the replicas?).

Now this I am starting to like. I like the addition of the white band

I take great exception to the implication that we ripped off the Lost Loiners

being a founder members of the Loiners Guild Touch Rugby on the old training pitch on Tuesday evenings from the old changing rooms under the South Stand.

Barry Adgie had to set the old baths running before we went out at 7pm so they would be full when we finished at about 8.30pm.

IIRC this predates the then Leeds (Loiners) team coached by David Ward and Norman Smith and we regularly had Loiners players like David Heron and Roy Powell (RIP) joining in for a run out.

Stuart Duffy was a regular as well. He would often to warn newcomers that I sold more dummies than Mothercare.

We'll just have to see what the Powers that be GH has chosen for the Mighty Leeds to defend our Crown in 2013.
