Just a quick question for every one (eds included), don't want anybody taking sides or anything but. Q- Do you think fans should be boycotting Leeds utd instead of going and supporting them? Let me know what you think people!
Believable= yes boycott
Unbelievable= no don't boycott {Ed013's Note - Support the bloody team, you only live once and whilst success is not guaranteed straight away, it will take time. When things get better you can say "I was there through the tough times" I understand some people cant get to the games or afford to, but for those that can, a couple of hours on a Sat gives you time with the team you love, your mates for a beer/soft drink and hopefully a relief from this fast World we live in (although sometimes you come away more stressed!)
So many people wanted Bates to go, now it is time to support the club and give GFH the chance to turn it round, give them the chance to get rid of the unwanted players on long contracts and support Brian. Lets not forget, they want to make money and the only way to make big bucks is to get this club into the Premier League. Sometimes it does feel like a chore going, but there are so many fans that would love to go, but can't. Lets also remember Brian has a 3 year deal which is good for the club and I honestly think there is a 2 year plan to have a right good go at the league, unfortunately Brian has 5-6 players on big contracts that he has to work with until they can move on. Support the team and as the song goes, Marching On TOGETHER}

I totally agree Ed. Can remember being back in the 2nd division in the 80's when we really had some dross playing for us and going no-where. Was still there when Sgt Wilko signed Strachen, Vinnie etc and we were great, especially when all the kids came through.
Stay with the team through thick or thin. We are Leeds and we march on together!

3.) 30 Jul 2013
Yes, we'll said Ed. Some of us don't have the luxury of getting in the car and going to every game. Have to plan, boats and coaches and hotels! And not cheap either!
If you have a choice to go or not go I know what I would be doing!

Would love to be going to ER. Just shelled out a small fortune for IVF though. Got to support the team through thick or thin. Will be saving to head to a few games this season. MOT

What are you on about boycotting now for?!

6.) 30 Jul 2013
Well said Ed. Totally agree with you. Over the last 8 years it has really been a chore to drive for 2. 5 hours to see some really questionable performances then to drive all the way back cussing and ripping, whilst listening to one of Leeds legends trying to diffuse and obfuscate fans ringing in to complain about what we've paid to see. As if we didn't really see that dross on display and still turn up the following week because somehow "this week'll be different"!
Well I firmly believe this season'll be different. see you Saturday

Well said ed, great times are ahead for this club. I have supported them like you through thick and thin. I live in devon now but am intouch with the club every day, either through rumours, news now and radio/tv. I go when I can, (last game was against peterboro)never have I felt in the last 8 years, that not just the team but the whole club is moving forward. What an inspiration bmc is. Not sure about gfh at the start, but when you look at the progress so far. Its true this club has a big fanbase and the club is listening to us all, not being dictated to by the oppressive mr bates. The only jet flight the club should pay for is one way to monaco. Mr bates you could have been so popular, your love of money was too important to you.!! {Ed013's Note - Most football fans don't understand the Leeds United connection, its part of your life once you are hooked}

ED, which are the 5 or 6 players. Just curious is all, I would say:
Kenny,
Diouf,
McCormack
Peltier

I ask as it would be interesting to know, which you would move on. {Ed013's Note - My opinion would be Brown, Tonge, Peltier, Hall and Pugh. If they could move on then wages would be available for better signings. Kenny and Drury are another 2 in my opinion that could be moved on. This is just my opinion and will support the 11 on the pitch who ever Brian picks. If Norris was to leave I would keep Tonge}

9.) 30 Jul 2013
I bet most of these only have 1 year left on their contracts, so undoubtedly we will be in a better position next year. Hence the "2 year" promotion plan.

agree on Kenny, although is a good keeper, can ealsiy be replaced. Pugh, Drury and Brown just seem surplus.

10.) 30 Jul 2013
NO boycott from me. I will be there for my first game in 3 years. Thoroughly agree with Ed's pov on this and will buy him a beer in Billy's if he wears something that makes him stand out.

Hoping for a solid 3 points no matter who plays. {Ed013's Note - Haha cheers mate, I will be in The White Hart prior to the game, appreciate the offer, MOT}

Couldn't agree more with u ed, and the other guys who replied, I only threw that's question out there because some clown on the rumours page in replys to McCormack going for 750k has said it and I say it's wrong, go have a look for urself people, I can't understand the guy

12.) 30 Jul 2013
Its very simple true fans support them in good and bad times. if you choose to boycott then you ain't a real fan as that ain't what fans do.

13.) 30 Jul 2013
The fans filling up ellland road can be the difference between winning and losing so let's sell out against brighton and take it from there

14.) 30 Jul 2013
I don't think any IS boycotting any more, there's no reason to.

. we may not be able to get there every week, but it doesn't mean we are deliberately staying away!

I'll be up there first chance I get.

15.) 30 Jul 2013
"if you choose to boycott then you ain't a real fan as that ain't what fans do. "

. unfortunately it's probably DUE to so many fans starting to boycott that the recent changes are starting to take place, so you might like to thank some of the people rather than continue to berate them?

16.) 30 Jul 2013
Well over 30. 000 tickets sold surly on the os looks like their a couple thousand

17.) 30 Jul 2013
Why would I want to thank stay away fans are you for real all your doing is hurting the club by not going don't you realise if fans don't turn up where is the money going to come from get a grip

18.) 30 Jul 2013
Ed, it's been a long long while since I have been in there but I might just give it a looking at. If I do i'll shout for Ed? It's always nice to meet new folks, See thee Saturday

19.) 30 Jul 2013
It's a shame we can't all pull in the same direction even though we support the same club! :- (

20.) 31 Jul 2013
Fans were boycotting to get rid over Bates but he's gone because of his own arrogance & greed, not because of fans boycotting games so don't think those who boycotted can claim the glory for that one!
