That should please WTF11....
Already asked for peoples comments, keep up.

As for the individual (and her backers) concerned, I don't have an opinion (strange huh?), although I'm interested in what others might say.

Strange also that when GFH acquired Leeds, hailing from a state with shall we say a somewhat "patchy" record on human rights etc etc etc, no-one complained, until the long-sought after arab millions/billions failed to appear.

Clubs are bought and sold by all manner of people, the fans are hardly ever considered, other than as cash cows that justify the purchase.

I find the comment by Mrs O regarding "looking after the next generation of Leeds fans too"...juxtapositioned with the article on ticket costs to be slightly less than credible, (given that it implies that Leeds as a club is doing the former, by charging "reasonable prices" for the latter). For the last few seasons, Leeds' ticket prices have been amongst the highest in the league, and on many occasions and not always for Cat A matches, higher than those charged by clubs in the mid-to-lower echelons of the Premiership.

The fact that Leeds away support is so strong, and that fans travel thousands of miles every season to attend ER, is a testament to the strength of the support they give to club. It is most definitely NOT reciprocated in the treatment of fans, but hey, football is a business, right?
