Lacklustre performance is impacting fans

Quote: Gotcha "Do you actually know anything about Leeds history? I ask this due to that last comment. You obviously haven't been watching the club long, and this is the problem with this board and the many social media outlets, there is too many bandwagoners putting their two penneth in that have nothing to go on but what has happened since 2004, or in some cases even less.

For your information, we have had many a rough ride, and a long time without the smooth. Those of us that gone through all that are perfectly within our rights to have an opinion, that doesn't involve references to fickle fans, when it is clear that the only fickle fans are those that have jumped on the success bandwagon.

I put on aonother thread. I have been a season ticket holder since 1978, I was a bandwagoner like the many on here at the time, having gone to my first match in the Challenge cup final that year. I went through however, the majority of the 32 year wait for Leeds to be champions through my time supporting. So the fact I comment based after winning now, shows I have been through that dry period, and comment knowing what it is like.

First and foremost for me was I loved the game, it was the best sport out there. I played the game, signing professional as a sixteen year old, when through the injuries that many do, and had to quit playing. Then went into coaching and scouting, purely because the game was what I wanted. The last few years of our sport in this country have continually gone down hill and down hill. The game is on it's last legs. The level of coaching in this country is at it's lowest ever. and the game as suffered.

I have continued going purely because of a family socical. Previous with grandad and dad, then with dad alone, then my own kids along to be with their dad and grandad. And because of that I have maintained it. But the game is depressing now, and you have to look for other outlets to continue the family thing. The kids are getting bored at the game, my son finished playing himself last season, and looks at this Leeds team and just see's it for what it is. At Fridays game, forgetting me, there were many families and kids were saying to parents can we go now, and this was 15 minutes before the end. This club is going to suffer because people will not keep paying for inferior product.

I for one will not be getting my season ticket next year, which will include five. I will probably still go to some games, but will forget the season ticket, unless changes are made at the club, and I have to be fair the game as a whole aswell. I have been a season ticket holder for this now my 40th season, my dad and uncle with us, for far longer than that, my daughter for 15 years, and son for 12 years. That is a lot of years supporting this club, having taken the rough with the smooth. The sides over the last three years though for me are the worst we have had through my time. We have had worse for a short period, i.e. one season, but then we act on it. This is the worst In terms of quality I have seen for an extended period.

I very much doubt I will be in a minority for not renewing next season, I can see a big chunk of supporters going the same way.'"
