Look at me, I'm a better fan than you. Truly inspiring story of struggling through adversity.

I won't be there, I'm busy doing something much more important instead, stuff that makes me money instead of costing me money.

And as for the "more important fan", how cute.

I've thought about it after your post, and your right, I will go. In fact I'm going to take the wife and kids too. My eldest plays rugby for the local club and would benefit from seeing a top quality display, with lots of effort, skill structure and organisation amongst the team.





Erm, hang on a minute, I've had another think. Actually I won't bother. When they can be bothered to put on a show worth paying for, I'll pay for it. I'm not holding my breath....

....better fan than me. My .....

If Leeds had more fans like 'batley' the club perhaps couldn't afford to be as complacent as it currently is.

'time will tell' if my theory holds water.

I'm a poor supporter as I'm not going.

Bad fan, bad fan.

I'd go if it was free and a limo picked me up, its the only mitigation that I can think of from watching the pain being served up.

Oh, and free beer, a lot of it!!

Ah the Bulls business plan.

Genius.

I'll be listening on internet radio.Wish I was home so I could go

Nah there won't be a decent turnout. Everyone's feeling pretty low right now at the club, terrible season on the field, things going backward off it, generally speaking we get spanked at HQ, not much to play for. If it es it down, it could be a leveller, if not you'll win easily. Either way, a win for us won't mean right much and a win for you won't mean much either other then a step to cement a spot in the 8.

grim really.

I understood the general implication to be : if Leeds upped their performances then batley would play his part in conributing towards their wages. If they didn't then he'd find another use for that part of his discretionary spending. Seems fairly reasonable to me and places the onus on Leeds to do what they should be doing anyway. If fifteen thousand turn up regardless of performance then (more fool me - once upon a time - and them) it's reasonably unlikely to stir any players, coaches and/or management that may have settled into their comfort zones.

If people are happy with the entertainment value on offer or see watching their club as a badge of honour or perhaps the game isn't the only reason they attend then they should carry on filling their boots. If however some feel they're getting short-changed then I can understand why they might step away until things improve.

I don't mind people not going to all games, i myself on average over the last few years only manage to get to 7-8 home games a year and around 4-5 away (usually the Yorkshire based ones). But this is because Friday nights aren't exactly ideal for a guy in his early to mid 20's as many other things occur then, and of course other people will have all sorts of different priorities and interests which can effect their attendence too. What i can't stand though are these 'I shan't be going, not because i'm busy, but simply because they aren't worthy of my support' types. They make out that they're taking some sort of moral stand when really they just can't be ar$ed getting up off the sofa.

agree with this all the way

I am such a bad fan, I'm going to go and flog myself....

At least I'm not patronizing or condescending enough to preach to others about how they should support the club. I'll decide who or what is worthy of spending my money on thanks, and whilst I have plenty of it, I'm still not going to waste it on the crap being served up at Headingley at the moment. I will, however, be spending it on going to the GF and CC Final again regardless of whoever gets there...
