Quoting Paul Hirst <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:

>> Crowds are up. Feeling around the place is lifting.

Who gives a shit who paid what.
You pay what you were willing to pay at the time, if you were happy
then be happy now as we march on on on.

£15 is better than an empty seat - plain and simple. <<

I would totally agree with this. Filling the stadium has got to be a  
very important thing for numerous reason. It has simply got to help  
the team; sponsors are more likely to pay money if the team's playing  
in front of bigger crowds; you're more likely to attract players if  
they're playing in front of big crowds; the money doesn't end with  
tickets, people will spend money on parking at £5 a time, buy beer,  
programmes, pies etc; it means that younger fans will get into  
watching Leeds.

I had a great time on Saturday and am not ashamed or embarrassed to  
say I went *because* they brought the price down to a sensible level.  
Hopefully these two games have been proof to Bates of what a stubborn,  
short sighted fool he's been to whack prices up so much and alienate  
people like me who would have continued to go had he not made such a  
ridiculous increase two seasons ago. £160 extra for seriously inferior  
football is not on.
