The LUSC used to ("used to" - I've no idea these days) give the impression that it was a rotten organisation that existed for the sole benefit of certain of its members and officials. There were constant scandals about murky finances, about unfair ticket allocation, about unwarranted secrecy and about abuse of process. Living proof if you like that the "fans" were just as incapable of conducting open and honest business as the evil football directors.
Therein lies the rub. Most people who get actively involved in football adminisrration - fans group or director - are not doing it for purely altruistic reasons. Even a Jack Walker had his own agenda. As a typical, powerless, fan you can only hope that the people who run your game have interests that are aligned to yours. That Bates needs Leeds to win things to maximise his profit and that the Peacock serves good beer to maximise the SC profit. And if you don't want to be a typical, powerless, fan - do something about it. Full respect to those who set up AFC Wimbledon and United FC - they are the future for "fans". No respect to those idiots who buy green & gold scarves but keep on giving their money to the Glazers (;)) Damian (ex-Chairman Benelux SC, see 1st paragraph) _______________________________________________ Leedslist mailing list Info and options: http://mailman-new.greennet.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/leedslist To unsubscribe, email leedslist-unsubscr...@gn.apc.org MARCHING ON TOGETHER
