Watching sporting clubs isn't like buying product - in most areas customers are king and suppliers will avoid upsetting them at all cost.

Not sure that is the case with sporting clubs - if you have a bad experience in restaurant you are unlikely to go back - yet we have a bad experience at Headingley every other week but keep returning?

Thing is now, Sports clubs aren't "Sports Clubs" any more. They are now there to impress stock exchanges and business partners rather than the average Tom, Dick & Harry who turn up every week

do leeds fans want him to succeed doesn't look that way. spoiled

I want the club to succeed

I want every coach to succeed how ever McDermott has only been in charge 8/9 months or so and the fan base has a very mixed opinion of him

Never liked the guy since he wouldn't sign my brothers rugby ball

Not quite true. If Paul Caddick just wanted to make more money, there were better ways he could do it. The balance sheet matters, but there's still more to a sports club than that.

It is fair to say that rugby league has stayed close to its roots in having owners who actually know about the sport, my comments were a rather general one at that

Which sports were you referring to? Not many soccerball clubs turn a profit. No idea what the state of the finances are in Speedway, Ice Hockey, Basketball etc, but I'd guess there are faster ways to make a million. RU is rich sugar-daddied to the eyeballs as well.

Football has foregin investors trying to make a quick buck (how many Premiership clubs are not in debt?!) Union is getting bigger with more money being pumped into the game

the modern day fan of sports are getting pushed of going to sports they love, for an instance look at the price of Olympic tickets which was supposed to fair and even prices...if you could get hold of them

my comments were in a more general sense

This is something that the coach says to my lad and he's 6 along with you'll all get a turn surley not to guys who need fire in thier bellys and winning bonus in there pockets.

Thread titles that can be sung to the tune of a Cliff Richard hit.

when I read JPs book and I was impressed at the way in which he spoke about MacDermott, really thought he was destined to be a top coahc and our coach too.how doe's that famous quotation go?Iknow it ends in "in the name of god go,and go now"

Thread titles that can be sung to the tune of a Cliff Richard hit. But probably shouldn't be.

thread titles that sum up many a lad's night out?
