    It doesn't take a lot of effort to check Companies House to get your facts straight before posting, which is all that I did.

    Knowledge is power as they say. Or as Leeds fans say, ignorance is bliss <whistle>

    Edited that for you ^^^^^^

    People from Leeds distance themselves from it all and watch the rugby league instead.<ok>

    Leeds draw a lower percentage of fans from the area of the club than any other league club.

    Maybe that's a consequence of being a new club? Perhaps when the new franchise is more established, the locals may take to it? :bandit:

    All pretty irrelevant really. Your argument is based on technicalities. The club is still based in Leeds, we're still Leeds United, and we've made absolutely no secret of our feelings towards bates tenure at Leeds United.

    I personally don't see what the problem is. Wimbledon kicked up a fuss about owners moving their club for the sake of money. We kicked up a fuss over what bates has done to us for the sake of money and his own personal benefit. The only difference between the two is that Wimbledon no longer had a local football club to support. I'm sure if Leeds had been moved to another city then you'd have a point. Unfortunately, it's all hollow arguments to make yourselves feel better about supporting tinpot clubs.

    As long as you accept what you've put means the Club you follow started in 2008 and everything before that was a totally seperate club that just happened to play at the ground the new club now rent. <ok>

    I feel your pain. <ok>

    I have no hang up about size. My club was gifted to me by birth.

    It matters not if just me and a few dozen follow or hundreds of thousands follow. I leave that the weak willed, insecure types hoping that vicarious glory will fill the void in their personalities. <ok>

    I never said you weren't you oversensitive tart. <ok>

    I guess the feeble attempts at personal abuse show you've no argument to the main point people have highlighted that, as some on here try to deny, Leeds are in deed just footballs newest franchise.

    I wonder if the new leeds will learn from the mistakes of the old liquidated club and not try to play with the big boys until they can do it on their own legitimate merits? <ok>

    Or maybe the message "I was gifted this club, I didn't choose it out of a quest for glory" (I am paraphrasing) heavily implied that we're all glory hunting plastics who only support Leeds because they were once successful.

    It's more that I don't have the energy to argue with a bore like you who won't give up until you get an "admission" that we're not a bigger club than Hull City. That's never going to happen because we ARE a bigger club than Hull City. Regardless of technicalities and any biased attempt to make yourselves sound like a better prospect, we have a larger fanbase, a bigger ground that's not a flat-pack rugby stadium, we have more potential for success, we have louder more passionate fans from all over the world and we've actually won plenty and gone close plenty more.

    The inferiority complex is just so horrendously boring. Why don't you go bother Middlesbrough? They are in Yorkshire and don't have any real rivalries, why can't you go pester them and beg them to be your rivals? They also suffer from the same inferiority complex. It's a match made in heaven!

    Have you ever considered a change of scenery and having a look in to reality for a while?

    You've whittered and whinged away responses to arguments and points I've never made. The only reference to 'size' I'm liable to have made is not giving a **** about it. Somehow in your deluded world, that becomes some challenge to your manhood and what you perceive as massive Leeds.

    It's the cyber equivalent of a child putting its fingers in its ears and going la la la I can't hear you.

    The only point I made is that Leeds is a franchise and only a few years old. Not one solitary part of your bottom lip poking, foot stomping waffle even tries to address it. You seem to prefer some imaginary issue I'm not even having.

    You realise, as the issues are all yours, the boredom is yours too. <ok>

    This **** spouts this sort of **** all the time and starts throwing around insults left right and centre.

    Where's your stance on personal abuse now Ellandback?

    Ban me for good if you like but at least stop being a hypocrite and do something about this bell end.

    I think the often overlooked fact in clever conversations like this one is that you're all discussing companies. Clubs transcend all these different companies/owners. The fans are the club, not the balance sheet or behaviours of a company!

    Nope taff, I'm talking about the Club, the part of the whole thing that's got permission to be a member of the football league, the so called Golden Share. The very essence of what makes it a 'Club'.

    You're still talking tangibles. I'm talking about that intangible indomitable spirit that is the fanbase - the essence of any club.

    Which would be ok if this was your board, but it's not. If you're going to come on here on a wind up or to act all bitter and twisted or whatever you come on here to do, expect to be told to go **** yourself.

    Pretty simple really, elland has known how I am long enough to know I just say it how it is.
