Not sure about that Forza.

We need to get cracking if we're to return to the halcyon days of League 1 that so many have been pining for.

I think that is slightly unfair Jammy.

Do you blame fans who have been regulars to Elland Road for over 30 years not having fond memories of when they were able to buy tickets to go and see the team they have supported for years.

As you have mentioned despite the solidarity of the fans and the team we had, the League 1 experience for yourself will always be stained due to who owned the club, and I understand that. However I don't understand how you can not respect that others have some great memories of that time, despite that fact we were owned by the spawn of satan.

I don't care what league we are in, I don't really care who owns us (because no matter how evil that person will be they won't be there forever), but I do care about supporting the club that I have loved for nearly 50 years.

Thus I am more than delighted that we as a club are back in the top division in England. I am grateful for the overall entertainment and quality of football that we have had over the last four seasons. Despite this season being more of a battle than we have had in previous seasons, I have made not one negative comment about the team, nor the manager.

My one regret is that again despite supporting the club for over 50 years, and attending at least 10 games a season for 35 years, that I am unable to actually watch my club live anymore (unless I subject myself to some sort of raffle). So is it any wonder when unless a player plays 100% perfectly , certain elements question the player, the manager, the owners and the board, that some of us recall those times when we as fans, as Shaks mentioned on another thread a few days ago, were UNITED in our support of both our love for the team, and our distaste for the owner, and the football authorities.

I fully accept that success brings both it's own rewards and also additional obstacles. I fully accept that we need to attract new and younger fans to the club, who hopefully in 40/50 years time will still be as passionate about THIS club as I am today. However don't jump on a throwaway comment about someone having fond memories of being able to support OUR club at a time when we had been brought to our knees by everyone who hated our club and what it stood for, as wishing that we were back there again. Of course I would love to be in a position where I could go and watch Leeds as often as I like, without any hindrance, doesn't mean that I want to see us playing in the National League North. However if we had even sunk that low, I'd still be wanting to buy tickets to each and every game that I could.

When my first grandchild is born in a couple of months, and grows up to a point where they are able to ask me about this period of our clubs history, I will be able to regale them with numerous memories of pleasure, but with also that tinge of sadness that due to circumstances with how the club is administered (as well as both my own circumstances and a thing called Covid) that I was only able to see my team play live at Elland Road twice whilst Bielsa was in charge.

Good post Aski.

Hopefully you somehow can get to a few more games before Bielsa hangs up his tracksuit.
