Well, yes at least he was there. I wasn't because it was only announced the day before that he would be attending and as I don't leave work until 6.30 (at the earliest) and the meeting started at 7 I had no time to reorganise my work and make the 1 hour journey to Leeds. I have, though, read verbatim accounts of the questions asked and the answers given as written by those who were there and who were taking notes. His answers to questions weemed very vague to me, and the right of reply was denied to a number of those asking questions. At one point Lorrimer became irritated with some of the questions asked and said that Bates was the only one willing to pay for LUFC and got his chequebook out asking Krasner "How much do you want?" This is at odds with Bates' previous statements that he didn't put a penny of his own money into Leeds United. I wasn't anti-Bates initially, in fact to start with I thought he was doing a good job. But over the years as his lies and contradictory statements emerge for what they are, I have become extremely worried for the future of our club as long as it remains in his hands. > if everyone had your attitude You mean turning up to 30 games a season and spending hundreds of pounds a year through the club in tickets and club merchandise? it would be a waste of time and that would > be a shame > for the fans who do go to these meets and and want to ask questions.

I know what it was, but you quoted the article from the OS which quoted an interview with him on Yorkshire Radio (which, incidentally, is costing LUFC 600,000 a year). If you pay as much attention to what you quote as you do to LUFC, no wonder you feel able to stand up for Bates. - Sean _______________________________________________ the Leeds List is an unmoderated mailing list and the list administrators accept no liability for the personal views and opinions of contributors.
