They will now, the article says that they were told today. Expect leaks from the red tops.

I don’t think that should be a criteria. We should have a diverse group, and I do agree that we should have an international fan, but the one we have is clearly the wrong choice. Let’s be honest, there will be plenty of fans who are locked out of both home and away games who deserve a voice. I do, and did when the members were announced feel that they have tried to pick fans who will agree with whatever they want. New stadium? Sure. New badge? Sure. I mean I’m not against either of those per se, but they have to be done sensitively, and I just don’t think 1 member on there has the capability of being able to do that.

I remember reading a wider interview with her, she was apparently a Chelsea fan before our takeover. How someone like that can have a say is beyond me.

He has been on it though I believe, or at least the version they had when Ashley was here.

This is what pusses me off. I’m a former season ticket holder, been a season ticket holder twice, both over multiple seasons. First time I stopped being one was when I became an adult, my mam and stepdad could no longer afford it for me, and I wasn’t yet in work to afford it myself. 2nd time was the Rafa situation, which we can agree to disagree if you disagree with my view. I have decades of purchase history of buying tickets, being there during the lows, away games etc. Come to when I want a match ticket I can’t get one, and she gets major games, a Champions League game (our first home game in 20 years), and gets appointed on a board that is designed to protect our history. I’m sure she got a cup final ticket as well.

Fucking 100% sure that Superfan fan spokesman Alex Hurst is on it as well.

Can’t stand to watch anything that cunt presents. ‘I 👏 actually 👏 talk 👏 like 👏 this 👏 in 👏 real 👏 life 👏 for 👏 dramatic 👏 affect 👏’

5-0 Fuck this shit.

Yeah, I have also said that if you give people a render of what a new SJP or Castle Leazes stadium would look like, then give them the option, rather than asking if they would move, then you’d get a lot more people on board. Also, how many people currently have a season ticket and say they want to stay at SJP, but would moan when their season ticket reaches over £1,000?

Nah, I don’t drink.

Set menu meal, unlimited drinks for a 2 hour time slot, usually late morning before the lunch time rush.

Why the fuck would we sign that?

1,000 companies expressed an interest in becoming our front of shirt sponsor. 800 followed it up with further talks. 100 companies made an offer, that was whittled down to the highest offers, that was whittled down to 3, which were of equal value, SELA was chosen because they wanted to partner with us on various projects, where as the others just wanted to pay money.

Looks like he’s made a few articles up for Football Insider recently.

Myself, club wise I’m not concerned, I think we are doing what we can under the rules, and they still want to develop us as fast as possible. It’s all gone as much as we could expect, this summer aside, but I think they will make it clear to everyone involved that we can’t have a repeat of it. I’m concerned about the stadium though, or more impatient. The stadium does need work done to it, it has for 10 years now. To a lesser extent I’m concerned about the training ground, however so far it doesn’t seem to have been a barrier for us under our new owners. The constant cock teasing about new sponsorships, and stadium news being imminent, and not actually being imminent has got to stop though.

On the flip side, they maybe should have been promising information on it for the last year, and recently come out saying the results are imminent?

The whole area is ripe for redevelopment as well.

To be fair, all the journalists are saying that they expect something with SJP being done to be the preferred option, and the one they are leaning towards, however I suspect that largely comes from when Staveley, and Ghodoussi were here, and obviously before anyone has had a chance to survey what can actually be done with SJP. SJP has been left behind, sure in the early 2000’s it was one of the best football stadiums, but now it’s not. The concourses are too small, the seat pitches in some areas of the ground make Ryanair blush, the amount of female toilets available for the increase in female attending is no longer enough. There isn't enough room for people to queue for food and drink, alongside consuming it on the concourse, everyone going to the toilets, people leaving and entering the concourses, and walking through. There isn’t enough corporate facilities for where we aim to be, and also for current waiting list demand, heck we are still getting some corporate hospitality to walk up a narrow staircase that is enclosed with corrugated metal sheets. We can’t just make the Gallowgate end mirror the Leazes, and reclad the rest of it. SJP needs major work, major reconfiguration, which from the outside is unlikely to be able to be done on the footprint we have available. It is being left behind, in terms of capacity alone, we are off where we used to be. Leeds, like it or not is going to be competition for hosting events if they get a similar capacity, and can offer better facilities. None of our fans issue, or impatience on the matter would be so bad if we haven’t heard for the last year that they are preparing to tell us what they want to do with the stadium, including that survey sent out a little while back, and then on top of those being told that the results are due imminently 6-8 weeks ago. This is on top of Man Utd making big statements about their stadium, Leeds saying they are going to expand, Everton about to move in to their new stadium, Liverpool in the process of rebuilding theirs, Spurs who were below a couple of decades possibly having the best stadium in sport, etc. The vacuum of information, especially after being told we will be given it is what is pissing me and a lot of people off, because we have saw it all before with Ashley.

The trouble is though, I don’t think it will just be an increase in cavity that they will be doing. They will no doubt be fixing all areas of Elland Road, and bringing it up to standard. Their owners are NFL owners who have recently built a new stadium, and know the value of what that brings.

Should be on £35k minimum. £35k should be the minimum wage, how the fuck people are expected to live off less than £2k a month with prices these day is beyond me.

Ballot opens at 10am tomorrow. Imm already prepared to being rejected.

They have been told that for ages, however they’ll get every penny thrown at them for the developments around it, and the government will come to the rest of us up North and say that they have levelled us up.

Leeds United have just announced plans to expand to 53,00. We are getting left behind here unless they come up with a plan.

I honestly think that was a honking shirt. I was excited for it at the time because I was a kid. The gold was supposed to be classy, but just looked fucking tacky, and it was evidence that our main colour should be black, with white stripes, not white with black stripes. The downfall and rot after SBR’s team had finally settled in by then as well. It was also the first shirt to replace felt sponsors, and stitched on Adidas 3 stripes, with prints as well.

Not going now in anyway, are they?
