mark, in many ways i'm inclined to agree with you. it is all strange and mucky. i had the piece passed to me by a gooner friend, not a journo but with journalist connections. i was rather dubious about the piece and if i been more relaxed to take it in rather than buzzing round all over the place on the festive tour i might have thought twice before posting it. however don't blame the ft for all the caps and stuff but me in retyping, being one handed and doing itr on the hoof. have been trying to get to the bottom of things (never mind talking about the t**** word thing) but not reallt got anywhere so dunno. the whole thing has distinct whiff about it but then that's rather the story of the club these days. what's needed is some light on things. how about some polonium being spread around the ground, or at least the directors box? you never know what you might see in the glow ... guy _______________________________________________ the Leeds List is an unmoderated mailing list and the list administrators accept no liability for the personal views and opinions of contributors.
