Quote: ArthurClues "You'd be missed mate. I lost my Dad earlier this year. He took me to Headingley for the first time when he was six and he finally gave up his season ticket a couple of years ago. Almost from game one ( Widnes at home) my glass was half full and his was half empty. We bickered incessantly about it all our lives. I always thought I was the fan and he was the carping misery guts, yet when Sinny lifted the championship in 2004 tears were running down his face. It meant everything to him. My point, if I have a point, is that people express their love/devotion in different ways, but that doesn't mean they don't want the same thing. I like to think that's true of this forum. Grumps and cheerleaders alike ultimately we all want Leeds to be the best. Clearly I''ve had a scotch too many and tomorrow I'll be tearing my hair out when somebody suggests Smith should be sacked, but tonight I'm feeling reasonable.'"
Thank you that’s a lovely post.
My Dad died in 2001 (at 4icon_cool.gif we went to most Leeds games together and quite a few Dewsbury or Batley games, always feel gutted that he never got to see us win all those trophies, he was a lot like me we just loved going to the games together, 99 CCF final was really special.
Anyway im not saying I’m flouncing im just going to try not get into tit for tat arguments and just ignore the overly negative stuff.
