Leeds Supporters on Tour

[Tichi1]

I'm really glad I am of my generation, half of what has been written on here is completely baffling to me, or corporate speak.
A bit like watching and listening to the BBC

Roll on Sunday

LEEDS Supporters on tour, great pic from Andy and a bit o’ banter, very light hearted to this!
It’s like buying a new sound system to sit listening for faults and missing out on the great sounds.

Rolling on Sunday also please.

Baffling ?

After training I've accepted a recent posting in Digital Hotel marketing.Over 60% of bookings are done online in hotels today - both corporate & tourist wise & English language is required for global communications.
Main target is 'Luxury Travellers' who are focused on enjoyment and willing to spend more to obtain it.They often travel in a couple aged 25-49. They seek cities that are hot and coastal and tend to require an evening event to attend as well.

Like it or not football sees money-markets from said targeted groups rightly or wrongly.My hotel weekly has French Ligue 1 teams stay for matches in Nantes,Rennes,Brest & Lorient and often staff visit again with families in tow.

The hotel chain is like a football club as it also targets other income groups and offers various pricing structures for its product and thus will target said differing income groups and offer them live football or digital media football packages which under 35 year olds are happy to pay for as individual packages or both - with only a 36,000 ER stadia extra money must be made and obviously has to cater all pocket needs & provides all availability of options to choose from.

I understand that,hope you do to but like you I tend to side with the average fan priced out the game match ticket wise and do my bit of shouting on their behalf to those in charge & ask questions to clubs when issues baffle me.

Good on yer then.

Personally I support the campaign for plain English, but hey ho, each to their own. I had to read the hotel related response twice, then check thread title. 🤣

Ok Andy.

Leeds Supporters on Tour was your title post I mistook for literally Leeds Supporters on Tour - as in Leeds fans from everywhere coming over for match- day,enjoying the game & hospitality offered.Rather like your day over to see Leeds at Old Trafford.Those that cannot attend games have several choices of how to support the club of which I tried to show what is happening behind the scenes.

Cannot help think I'm no longer wanted as GK states repeatedly & you now emphasise in clear plain English.

Any on the matter would have passed over if the thread comment was by anyone else BUT not for some it appears.

I'll shut up and disappear then for you.I recall I did ask for Mods advice on how posts should be responded to & nobody answered [even you] a while back in fact Org stated no hard & fast rules.

Happy days mate for the old- school on Mad as another one bites the dust.

Thank you for having me & I tried my best for the Forum & met some great folks on here by threads and pm's - hey-ho.

Don’t go MT I always value your posts - just ignore the grumpy old men - Billy and Andy struggle to get up the stairs these days let alone keep on trend 😆.

Just be you and don’t give a flying for what others think 👍

Your writing style is dense (as in there’s always a fair bit to unpack, not that it is thick!), but I usually spot a nugget or two in there that I either didn’t know or, more often, hadn’t really thought about, so don’t disappear just yet!

I was thinking about your “job duties” after reading a thread on Twitter about a dad who had taken his lad to the Arsenal game for his first time, only for the lad to get overwhelmed by the intense atmosphere.

They were in the process of leaving, only for an Arsenal steward to ask them why they were leaving. After the dad explained that his kid was having a hard time, they were directed up to a special “sensory” area where there was less going on to alarm the kid and they stayed to watch the whole game.

Not something I’ve genuinely ever thought about, but I’m really glad there was someone on hand to help them out as everyone deserves to enjoy the game, even if it isn’t always in the conventional manner.

I know you are pushing through your own life issues and I hope your sharing here continues as I’m sure it helps others, if only for them to “walk a mile in another’s shoes” to swipe someone else’s comments from another thread.

Spot on - I also find your (MT) posts illuminating and entertaining so I hope you find a way to keep posting.

Not directly football related, so I'll add my two pennyworth.

I don't think GKs post was much to get upset about. The thread was started on the back of supporters enjoying the Maltese hospitality and (as often happens) morphed into other things, some of which were heavier and more "serious" than others. If GK wanted to be truly offensive, I'm sure he has the linguistic ability to do so, but he didn't.

I'd agree with Orgoner (see, I'm not THAT much of a curmudgeon), that your posts can get very involved and despite having the nuggets he refers to some may find it heavy going. I suspect many would aim similar criticism my way, but as I have made clear (I hope) that's not why I have resisted from posting (and will return to that state now).

You shouldn't stop posting, there is no reason for you to do so.
