I concede to your point, Leeds are not just another product, to us and
the thousands of fans across the globe, they are as much a part of our
lives as our families. We want the best for them and continue to love
them even when they let us down. I suspect, like me, if you won 100
million on the European lottery, you'd seriously consider throwing 40
of it at Bates to get him to fuck off, and invite all the listers to
the games free of charge...
I just don't understand what LUST'S aims are, do they want a say in the
way Leeds are run (you just have to look at this list to know you will
never reach concensus on what is ultimately best for the club) or do
they just want to be told in advance of all the other fans, what's
going on (if so, why, what makes them so special). Maybe I am missing
the point of lust or maybe I'm not and I don't agree with their
standpoint and statements.
One last thing.. Please don't ban us Betty, I know we haven't sworn at
each other, brought each other's paternity into question or taken our
discussion on, off and then back on list,just to confuse. But I'm happy
to say I'm a know nowt miserable cnut, if that helps.

wayne,
I did take your point onboard, it was a good one. I just wanted to add
more to it. I did read the Clash book and what was clear in it was that
the band
was famous for taking care of their fans. to the point they picked them
up and gave them a lift to gigs if the weather was bad etc.
The other point I made is the LUFC is not just another product, its
more than that. If it was just a burger I wouldnt have cared so much
about it. I can
make my own burgers. However I cant make a burger thats a piece of
english football history, yorkshire history, part of the local identity
etc. Those factors
are powerful in a product. this is why LUFC have followings abroad etc.
Even now, after a decade of mess.

Football is just another product, you buy into it at different levels,
you buy a ticket or a shirt or a programme or you get a credit card
with the clubs name on, whatever, none of it carries the implied right
to be told/consulted on its inner workings.whether you think thats
right or wrong is your opinion, personally if I owned the club, I'd be
inclined to tell lust to fuck off (no offence to you or your opinion).

OR,
"As a lifelong fan of a club that is part of my culture, heritage and
identity I d like to try and influence and know
more about what is going on please. Just because I care. As a matter of
fact we are thousands that care
and spend our money keeping the club afloat whilst its failing to
deliver on many levels. Thus we d like to ask for a little bit of
feedback. Is that too much to ask for?"
If you want to know more about how this applies in the rock n roll
scene, read up about The Clash mate.
Cheers,
Eric
