Feel free as well to PM me or Cyprussydsafc about any of those things. Drinks are on me!
First thing we might want to discuss: making a fancy background for the Leeds subforum. If you click on the Leicester boards, for example, you will look in wonderment upon a sparkling array of mediocre players winning unimportant trophies. Obviously with Leeds it would actually have some proper legends in it emoticon-0103-cool, but let's have a wee discussion first to see what we want.
How much can we get away with? What about little planes flying around at the top of the page and if you click on one "Always look on the bright side of life" kicks in (original Eric Idle version of course). A bit much?
Just had a look at the Leicester one, maybe a decent view of a full East stand in the middle rather than the badge.
We could always squeeze my favourite Leeds picture in there somewhere to get one over on the red lowlifes: please log in to view this image
Yeah that sounds good, I was thinking perhaps 70s legends on one side and perhaps the '92 title-winners and maybe Max Gradel on the other side? A couple of good East Stand facade ones: Contemporary please log in to view this image Retro please log in to view this image Open to any suggestions though, don't just want it to be a row of footballers like Leicester have.
Yeah be a bit different, the retro picture is class, good idea, make the whole thing pre 2004 though for ****s sake!
Awaiting news on the size specifications for the background image; when I know we'll get some mock-ups made. Meanwhile, a really useful site for all sorts of football info is transfermarkt.de. Some pages people might be interested in: Leeds United page including rumours about incomings and outgoings (e.g. apparently we're interested in a German keeper from Allemania Aachen). Also includes approximated transfer values and the usual stats. Free agents from the Premiership this summer. Free agents from the Championship this summer. Free agents from League One this summer. Free agents from the SPL this summer. NB it doesn't take loans into account; it counts returning loanees as free agents. Let the rumours begin.
I'd want ã2m and a player in exchange from Hamburg if we were letting Max go to them. Should be keeping him anyway, he could be the best player in the Championship next season.
So I've been a bit naughty and asked Mick to make this our background: please log in to view this image We can obviously make a new one if people would rather something else be included, but it works OK as an interim solution.
Looks alright I think, not too noisy and vulgar like most of the other boards have gone for. If I do say so myself.
One more day till we don't have to hear about that bloody Rod Stewart gig from the official site every day.
