You'd rather pump money into the coffers of a team you don't support than watch a side you claim to be a fan of because they're on a bit of a downward spiral? The very definition of fair weather. Did you pay Hetherington extra money at the end of each season when we won trophies? A bonus for good performance?'"
Clearly you don't agree or understand that I am a fan of Rugby League first and foremost a Leeds fan secondly and yes I would rather watch a quality game of SL than the dirge the Championship puts out after week. Plenty to choose from Cas, Hull, Huddersfield & lets not forget Sky are showing more and more each year

I think you'll find there are some very good teams,many exciting, and good games to watch in the Championship pal! (remember you lot getting wupped by the Bulls?). I bet you would struggle to beat Toronto atm, and there are others who would give you a game. So if you think it's dirge,you just might find that's not true next season if you go down.

Or maybe not. Speaking from experience of being involved with the games at that level

I think you need your eyes testing. Or do you think you can muster up better dirge than what you claim you're experiencing?

| Indeed....
Come one, come all.
Just keep the "banter" clean and we'll have no problems.

| Have to disagree with people who wouldn’t watch Leeds in the lower division. Of course that happens (Bradford are a few short compared to their SL years..).
To me the whole point of watching a side in RL is the connection and the loyalty. The lads who take the pitch are doing their best for the club.
I’d rather share the terraces (or seats now) with supporters than with people who can’t handle losing.
We’ll have a good side again - relegation would set us back but with better recruitment Leeds are still a great club.
People go on about lining GH’s pockets but the truth is you just want to pay to see a side who wins.

Cheers mate. Ps I don't think you will go down. Hoping we can get back up soon though.

| I remember Leeds getting regular crowds of 4-6k in the mid to late 80s. A lean period and you will certainly see them fall. No club is immune. People generally go because they enjoy it. Once that stops you lose a lot and you end up with just the hardcore. That’s when the nuttier followers start to stand out more too. I think that’s why nobody stands near me at Odsal anyway.

You are correct. 10-12k was considered a very good crowd back then in a regular league game.

| No doubt I will continue to watch the Rhinos which ever division they are in, what I will not be doing is spending money on a table in the directors suite to watch the likes of Dewsbury (no disrespect to them or other teams in this division) but I have better things to do with my hard earned money. Its a shame GH and KS could not have worked as hard. Guys I am open to criticism, but just over half way through the season and the Headingley Marketing team are already on my case asking me to have a meeting.
New half back in place for the next home game.
