What a thread, I've been laughing all day about these times, if leeds win or lose, it is an institution, it was compulsory to be at headingley on sunday aft, or like a previous post... saturday aft, Leeds being the last team to move to sundays. Just love the nostalgia that surrounds the club.

When I was a teenage Leeds fan baby, my Mum and sister say they used to listen for the reslut to know what sort of mood I'd be in when I got home from the Sunday game. If we'd lost, I ate my tea in the kitchen on my own.

Boxing Day games that meant something.
A big crowd in in a festive mood to watch us beat Cas (usually) or so I recall.
Ah, those were the days.

More of my ramblings on

Crowd all wearing new Christmas jumpers, drinking from their new hip flasks and a Southstand that smelt of Cigar smoke.

I always used to get a new jacket for Christmas and used to wear that. I aslo had a hip flask that only got used on boxing day. There was also that pleasant feeling of heading home knowing you were going to spend the rest of the day eating and drinking.

Northstand surely?
Southstand all fags & cheap perfume, purchased on Christmas Eve by half-cut boyfriends or husbands.

To be fair that sounds like my old man nowadays

watch this space..... his son is coming thru the ranks for the all blacks...... he is a big strong lad......

The 80's for is remembered 4 as a young lad going 2 the game on my dads shoulders then once in told 2 sit at the front of the southstand on the wall and wait there till he came for me at full time...
Then we would go round and wait for the players to come out from the changing room for autographs and even sometimes going into the changing room...the good old days....

Still going strong in the insurance game in NZ!

Bl**dy H*ll his son looks older than him!!
