Ooops. I meant to say that going to Elland Road has been an expensive, unpleasant experience for the last few months. The atmosphere around the club (not just on match day) is really unpleasant. I also think that some people don't realise how many out of towners go to Elland Road - look at the coaches in the carpark - Plymouth Whites, Kent Whites, Essex Whites, Hampshire Whites - travel costs, ticket prices, awful football (for the most part - yesterday's performance was excellent I thought) and the general economic climate is hitting hard.
As an exiled yorkshireman, I travel up from London - factoring in my season ticket (which I'm not renewing), train costs, spending money, I easily spend at least £100 (£70 before beer and food) every match day. And it's just not worth it at the moment. It's not just the state of the club that's putting people off, but in the current climate, it's certainly helping to keep people away. _______________________________________________ Leedslist mailing list Info and options: http://mailman.greennet.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/leedslist To unsubscribe, email [email protected] PETE CASS (1962 - 2011) Rest In Peace Mate
