I figure 1000 Leeds games must be the best part of 30 years worth. If that's the case I'm surprised he's still alive. I have just less than 30 years in (man and boy) and I still have to check for a pulse regularly...

I spoke with "The Sleeve" and he confirmed that in addition to the new screen an additional scorboard is to be installed with clock etc

................................probably nearer 1500 if you include the games I've paid for my kids to watch! I think Roy Castle sung a song about it once.

and as for getting stuck in...............don't worry about that pal.

You're not far off, first game in 1979 aged 10.

Seen some of the worlds best players in the Blue and Amber during that time................and some of the worst!

Including last night, the 1000th game back would have been an away loss at Wigan 19-5 on the 20th March 1983. That's just shy of 28 years if you were an ever-present, which would top my best sequence by several seasons.

These days I'd count myself fortunate if I could rack up 2 consecutive games let alone seasons.



You're in your 40's. You should be sat at home with your feet up eating cake.

Right now I am!

Helping my sons' team out with an injury crisis. This week grass roots rugby...........next week home debut v Saint Helens? I wouldn't even charge Leeds a match fee. Can't say fairer than that.

I couldnt see it from where I was stood. Would be handy to have one on the Western Terrace then

LOL. I wondered how the hell the kids knew the countdown to the exact second as I couldn't see a clock anywhere. I though I was surrounded by a bunch of mini Rain Men.

yes me too,a long time ago

Yeah, as far as a clock goes there's plenty of space underneath the team lists. If they don't though there's no reason why they can't use the union clock. Surely it cant be too hard to link the carniege (Rhinos) clock to the western (union) one. There's only about 1/5th of the Stadium that can actually see the Carniege clock.

Will Michael shout at you not to offload and to run forward?

I should be there watching Gary Mercer come out of retirement.

Didn't play mate, they had enough players anyway but he didn't had the registration card so I couldn't sign on today. Our young 'un got his first try though. They got beat by a fair bit though.

I liked the showing of highlights prior to the game. It was good lastn ight when they showed Mason knocking Fielden on his backside and then showed Peacock doing the same to Mason. Both got loud cheers.

That was quality then Mason at his press conference said he was full of respect for players like JP and then just laughed when asked about "Night Night".

I thought the new scoreboard was excellent but I do agree about the lack of any game clock.
I also thought that John Innes sex change operation could have gone better.
