I used to live in Manchester and had a big radio aerial pointing to yorkshire so I could pick up live commentary and then used to rely this info back over irc to a #leeds group, and once a week, one lucky lister could listen in live via netmeeting :) My kids are grown up too now, lad is 23, daughter turning 21 in a few weeks time. Neither are into football, so closets they have been to Elland Road is the M62. Actually, same goes for me given my 80s football ground experiences, never been to a match since. Thing I remember most about when they were young, esp my lad was that I would always be ready to look after him at night, meant I could take him downstairs, pop him in the pram and play Championship Manager without the misses moaning "You are on the bloody PC all the time" Vijay.
