They did do, it was free tickets for the catalan game last year to try and get the ground 1/4 full.

| Let's put this into some kind of perspective. Yes we lost to a very good team on Sunday and we weren't allow to play that well. Despite our relatively poor peformance and missing key players i.e. Smith and (Eastwood) we still managed to score three tries against them.
If you anylise the league encounter we lost because of a lapse of concentration for 5 minutes before the first half ended. We could, perhaps, should have won. Saints had the momentum and clearly the confidence carried through into Sunday's game.
I agree we are light on the forwards but for some to say the season has ended is way off the mark. Come on Gary, get the wallett out!!

Happy that the current champion club is content to rest on it's laurels (sitting on spendable cap money gathering dust in a bank account somewhere) while the squad remains understrength?
How very altruistic.
Hetherington often states how competitive SL is becoming and how many clubs are spending the full flat cap, the irony is that Leeds (the best supported club in the game over here) isn't one of them.

I have noticed that. However, only he, and other people at headingley know how much money there is, and what other priorities there are for that money. It could be that signing someone like gleeson for 200k is not considered worth it, in terms of what money will be needed to rebuild the south stand. On the outside of it it would seem like a small percentage of the money needed, however, long term the interest on such a sum alone would maybe not make it as beneficial to go out and buy the players we want.
I would rather the team remains competitive in the short term, and doesn't win everything in site, than spend moeny on some short term signings who are not guarunteed to benefit us, and leave us in a place where one of our main sources of revenue (the south stand) is threatened with clousre as we pi$$ed some well earnt money up the wall on expensive transfer fees.

Awful troll.

Have you seen the interest rates lately?
Under the old 50% cap system any club with in excess of a 10,000 average home gate were assumed capable of spending up to the full cap. As Leeds have always been in that position as a minimum under the cap seasons they have always had the ability to spend to the cap.
Leeds have not always spent their full cap allowance and in past seasons it might not have been necessary to do so. However this season we are understrength in the centres and at least one forward light.
It annoys me that Leeds find themselves in this position when there are competitions that should be within their grasp and cap money left unspent and quota spaces left empty.
I spent too many seasons having to accept second best from Leeds to accept it in this relative golden period for the club.

I'll have a Big Mac, large fries and a diet coke please. That's of course if you're even capable of using a till with pictures on it.
Two posts on the Cas board and 46 on here would suggest that you are either from Cas and completely mental, or you are a really witless t!t with an alias, and completely mental.
Which is it?
1. Completely mental
2. Completely mental
