I'd go if it was free and a limo picked me up, its the only mitigation that I can think of from watching the pain being served up.

Oh, and free beer, a lot of it!!

If Leeds had more fans like 'batley' the club perhaps couldn't afford to be as complacent as it currently is.

'time will tell' if my theory holds water.

Ah the Bulls business plan.

Genius.

I'll be listening on internet radio.Wish I was home so I could go

I reckon there'll be a decent turnout from Cas Vegas too, they'll be thinking they can turn Leeds over ... and we know how they love that.

Nah there won't be a decent turnout. Everyone's feeling pretty low right now at the club, terrible season on the field, things going backward off it, generally speaking we get spanked at HQ, not much to play for. If it pisses it down, it could be a leveller, if not you'll win easily. Either way, a win for us won't mean right much and a win for you won't mean much either other then a step to cement a spot in the 8.

grim really.

I understood the general implication to be : if Leeds upped their performances then batley would play his part in conributing towards their wages. If they didn't then he'd find another use for that part of his discretionary spending. Seems fairly reasonable to me and places the onus on Leeds to do what they should be doing anyway. If fifteen thousand turn up regardless of performance then (more fool me - once upon a time - and them) it's reasonably unlikely to stir any players, coaches and/or management that may have settled into their comfort zones.

If people are happy with the entertainment value on offer or see watching their club as a badge of honour or perhaps the game isn't the only reason they attend then they should carry on filling their boots. If however some feel they're getting short-changed then I can understand why they might step away until things improve.

I don't mind people not going to all games, i myself on average over the last few years only manage to get to 7-8 home games a year and around 4-5 away (usually the Yorkshire based ones). But this is because Friday nights aren't exactly ideal for a guy in his early to mid 20's as many other things occur then, and of course other people will have all sorts of different priorities and interests which can effect their attendence too. What i can't stand though are these 'I shan't be going, not because i'm busy, but simply because they aren't worthy of my support' types. They make out that they're taking some sort of moral stand when really they just can't be ar$ed getting up off the sofa.

agree with this all the way

I am such a bad fan, I'm going to go and flog myself....

At least I'm not patronizing or condescending enough to preach to others about how they should support the club. I'll decide who or what is worthy of spending my money on thanks, and whilst I have plenty of it, I'm still not going to waste it on the crap being served up at Headingley at the moment. I will, however, be spending it on going to the GF and CC Final again regardless of whoever gets there...

Which is exactly what happened in the second half of last year.

Well said to you.

I'm stupid enough to have had a season ticket for the last 33 years, and attend the majority of away games also.

I wont be going to the Challenge cup semi final, and even if they get there probably not the final either. I think that comp is a pishtake of a competition and I have no interest in it. Therefore can not be bothered to get off my arris for it.

The truth is, that I very nearly did not bother going on Monday night either, despite having season ticket. This season has been complete boredom.

I will moan and boo to my hearts content if I want to, and I have no problem with others doing it also, whether season ticket holders or not.
