As usual you hit the nail on the head Dave, no one is going over the top in excitement for the new season but even us old cynics must admit most signs have been positive. Unlike Bates, Haigh and McD, now a Elland Raod buzzing with a good vide is worth a dozen or more points a year. MOT!
The fact that Bates has gone, Warnock and his hoof ball has gone, we have spent £1 on a player for the first time in 8 years, we have signed 2 younger players rather than just has beens, we have a forward thinking manager, we have owners and a board who are at least trying to engage with the fans, the prices have come down and new catagories have been introduced , the ridiculous rules re young fans which meant walk-ups were being asked to pay full adult prices have been abolished. May not all , or any, be 'exciting' as such but added together we seem after 8 years or whatever of hell and being seen as sickpots and dissidents etc there is something to be optimistic about. All I want is a team that tries its best, plays attractive football within its limitations and more than anything I have, to quote modern jargon, "an enjoyable match day experience" something which has not been the case over the last few years. I have never really cared what Division we are in and never bothered about who the opposition are I just want a team and a club I can be proud of. I want the missing thousands to come back. Fair enough if you want more or something different before you come to games then that is your choice Dave ________________________________ From: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> To: leeds list <[email protected]>; David Nattan <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, 12 July 2013, 15:18 Subject: Re: [LU] GFH impress again Not being facetious. Just what is there to get excited about? I am not trying to convince someone. But I really do not understand.
