IF Bates were to come back in control of the club then that could really be the final nail in the coffin. Unless he has had a personalitly and character transplant whereby he comes in, buys (or admits he owns) ER and TA and gives them to the club and then spends millions on players, then fans will desert in their thousands. A lot of fans used Bates as a reason / excuse (delete as you think appropriate) for not coming to games. A number have come back under GFH and up until now our attendances have shown a healthy increase. All those fans would leave again and I think many more would join the boycott As it stands our loyalty is being pushed to the absolute limits - most fans who are going between now and the end of the season are doing so because they have already paid for tickets or because the fun of the match going experience outweighs the garbage we see on the pitch Dave
________________________________ I'm not really sure if Bates is mischief-making - he's hardly going to help the Flowers bid with the fans by saying he is involved. Or whether he is circling to take control again. I'd imagine anyone with ownership over Elland Rd or Thorp Arch will have a significant advantage if we went into Admin Matt ________________________________ From: John Lee <bruvvalee...@yahoo.co.uk> To: Richard Walker <richleed...@yahoo.co.uk>; "leedslist@gn.apc.org" <leedslist@gn.apc.org> Sent: Thursday, 27 March 2014, 11:06 Subject: Re: [LU] Bates rises again Possibly the most sense Beast has ever spoken?? I don't know about the Flowers bid in total, although it was absolutely clear the guy was Leeds through and through. I should imagine GFH will be seeking to re-energise any old bid pdq, but whether investors are now prepared to see us go into admin and see if they can pick us up at rock-bottom prices seems more likely to me! Isn't today the last day we can lose points this season by going into Admin. After today the points deduction will come next season? _______________________________________________ Leedslist mailing list Info and options: http://mailman.greennet.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/leedslist To unsubscribe, email leedslist-unsubscr...@gn.apc.org John 'Grampa' Sykes Rest In Peace old lad 28th Oct 1938 - 12 Nov 2013 MARCHING ON TOGETHER _______________________________________________ Leedslist mailing list Info and options: http://mailman.greennet.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/leedslist To unsubscribe, email leedslist-unsubscr...@gn.apc.org John 'Grampa' Sykes Rest In Peace old lad 28th Oct 1938 - 12 Nov 2013 MARCHING ON TOGETHER
