Actually Dave, I think the priority they had to make was to save the club and ensure those stay away fans or nippers had a club to come to, higher prices or not.
I think there's still some medicine to come before we get the sugar - but at least we have a club, and I for one am thankful for that.
cheers,

I share your disappointment at the attitude of these people but I am only
relaying what several have said to me. They wont transfer their allegiance
they just got into the habit of not going.
Dont forget there are plenty who subscribe to this list who dont go any more
- I am not judging any of them. Watching Leeds is not cheap and lets not get
into the value for money/entertainment questions.
As regards us being the vast majority, Leeds as a city has I think the 4th
largest population in the UK and apart from maybe Newcastle its a one
football club city. We are lucky to muster over 20k for a home game. We are
the minority mate but long may we continue.
Finally, whether you and I like it or not if we dont go up this time I think
the club has got to make it a priority get these fans back and more
importantly the kids. You hardly see any nippers at ER these days because of
the prices.
