What a thread to welcome us out of hibernation along with the green shoots of the Bielsa revival :)..
1996 - had 2, now 5. They are all Leeds supporters though some a bit more vaguely than others. The eldest 2 have been to Elland Road but it was a traumatic match - the 1 - 0 defeat to Fulham under O' Dreary which (for me anyway) marked a tangible starting point to our subsequent decline - so none of us have been back since. In any case, the five year old just wanted to fight the Fulham fans after they scored and as she's in her twenties now she'd get arrested. She does live in Leeds though at the moment, being a post-grad student at whatever they call Leeds Met nowadays. Congratulations to the new father BTW!
