Quote: loinertillidie "That's just it, they won't. GH stopped treating the fans as fans in about 2007, spectators are now cash cows. He knows the fans will come, they've been on the gravy train too long not to.
IF Leeds United get promoted, and there is then a viable option for going on a different journey then we might see people vote with their feet, but I can't see many stopping going.'"
Fully understand what you are saying, I agree with your comments if Leeds get promoted it may have an effect on the numbers at Headingley, but the big concern is the corporate entertainment, just look at the numbers they have at Headingley, the most successful club in SL regarding Corporate entertaining. With debts approaching £24 million and a Emerald North stand charging between £2500 and £3000 per season ticket for the corporate entertaining and £30k per box per annum, not including the Lewis Jones suite, taverners stand etc, corporate companies will not splash put this type of money for client entertaining if they can't get clients to go. These are the cash cows that GH cannot afford to upset. You cannot manage a debt of such magnitude on crowds of 10,0000 paying £300 per year for their season ticket and expect to have a top four team.
