| As has been said it suits some to buy a ST and others not. If the ST includes a seat there is the advantage that you have your regular viewing point reserved and have familiar other supporters around. Also in sport you cannot predict which will be the best games for entertainment, so a disadvantage with picking and choosing is that you could miss the best tries and moves of the season. I got my first ST in late 50's for the South Stand before maturing to the North Stand where we became "Members" with our names on our seats. In those days too there was plenty of dross, but that happens in sport.
However I recall witnessing individual brilliance from players of both sides in games where you wouldn't have expected it. So not buying a ST is no guarantee you can pick the best entertainment by only going for the so called big games (that are on TV anyway.)
I don't understand why some of those that no longer have STs wish to talk down to those that still buy them. The same individuals at the end of last season were predicting falling income for Leeds and promoting the idea of ditching the STs to teach GH a lesson. Well that worked didn't it. Increased attendance means increased revenue and if more of this is from non STs then more profit too.
Nantwich says he has lost interest in Leeds. I would never have guessed from the volume of misinformed ramblings he posts on here

| Quote: Fat Boy "Everyone's entitled to their opinion but I think your analogy (above) is a little flawed.
I agree that if you were to go to a restaurant and have a bad meal then you'd be unlikely to go back, but if you were to regularly go to the same restaurant but sometimes you were served a two Michelin Stared meal and others a BigMac and fries but you'd never know which you were to get it'd be a tad frustrating.
With restaurants, cinemas, holidays etc you can pre-empt the value you are going to get to a certain extent. For example it'd be unlikely that you'd be served a poor meal at the Fat Duck or spend £3K on a cruise aboard the QEII and I doubt you'd dirty sheets on your bed.
With the Rhinos you never know which team is going to turn up, one day it's Côte de bœuf, the next Findus Crispy Pancakes.'"
For the analogy to work properly you'd have to be asked to pay for 14 meals in one single payment in November of this year and then only be able to visit the restaurant twice a month at which point the rest of your analogy kicks in and you hope for gourmet rather than burger.

Huddersfield Gnats, I like that very very good.
I do feel cheated to be fair, £8.50 for me and my 2 kids to watch the Gnats (League Winners 2013)

| I think that Huddersfield were ok to put out the team they did. They'd earned it by claiming top with a game to spare, the only problem I'd have had with it is if the Bulls were still in for a playoff spot as it wouldn't be fair to the other teams. But alas it wasn't effecting anybodies league position.

| Isn't there already a "supporter" doing this shtick? The OP needs to find some original material.
