"Leeds is the greatest club in Rugby League"
Alex Murphy 2011: |

| Quote: ArthurClues "There's a difference between giving an objective assessment on the likely result of a game, and being " conditioned to accepting not even second best". There's nothing mighty (and never has been) about being a fan. The clubs success/failure is not ours. I'll be going to the game in the hope that we maintain or improve last week's encouraging performance, win or lose, and that in turn we can build momentum for the rest of the season and more importantly next year. If you want to rant and rave about how terrible it all is I guess thats your perogative, but I think it's waste of your energy.'"
Hmmm, your’s is an opinion and mine is “ranting and raving”? Being happy about losing or just being competitive is not an objective assessment on the likely outcome of the game, it’s accepting second best against one of your rivals. We’re not London Bronco’s if you hadn’t noticed. If you pay a sparky to come into your home and the house burns down a couple of weeks later due to shoddy work ultimately it’s a failure for you. If you get a good guy and everything is hunky dory it’s a success for you. I don’t see how when a speccie pays good money to his club and they fail miserably the failure is not felt by the spectator, of course it is. My comment “how the mighty have fallen” was relating to the club, however your opinion that fans are not mighty couldn’t be further from the truth. Fans make or break a club, and if they all walk away there’s no club. If I see a bloke walking down Elland Road wearing a Leeds shirti in a few hours grinning like a madman when we’ve only lost by 12 points and “built a bit of momentum” I”ll know who it is.

| Appreciate the creativity of Sky Sports trying to spice things up, but let's be honest—hearing minor celebs who clearly have no clue about the sport isn't quite hitting the mark. I like the concept, but how about we aim for some bigger names who actually know what they're talking about next time? Some examples could be: Sir Lindsay Hoyle, Adam Hills, Stuart Pearce, Roy Keane, Johnny Vegas or Brownlee Brothers.

And this is where the powers that be fall down and fail, get these people invited, get them in attendance, the cost of a couple of freebie tickets and access to the vip room and food could well get you the shot of 'celebs' in the crowd that are much needed.

Shows how bad things are, if that’s what’s needed to promote this once great sport……!

| It's all about social media though, get them (the celebs), to the games, get them ting, treble xxx'ing, clock ticking or whatever and it reaches people who might not neccessarily give the game a second look. You got to raise the profile of the game somehow, relying on Sky/BBC to do it is a non-starter, you just have to look at the "secondary" matches on Sky, no commentary or punditry during half time, just general stadium sounds, how half d/doing it on the cheap is that?.
