When you look at that list, it does really make you start top realise that, without the 75,000 sheep over at Old Trafford, the 52,000 Lemmings at St James's Park and the 40,000 at Chelski and Liverpool (One full of corporate's the other full of stolen money ... stereotyping? Moi?) that, as I've said for two years now, the Premiership has lost complete touch with the real fan and is in real danger of a downward spiral. The money coming in from abroad now isn't going to be able to sustain the wages and transfer fee's on crowds of 17,000 ala Portsmouth and Wigan. The TV figures, other than for the big games, are down, who wants to watch Wigan V Reading on a Monday night??? Not even 24,000 Wigan and Reading fans!!!! Once the SKy money starts to drop the foreign investors will make for the exit doors rapidly. The constant snipes we take about not being a big club anymore, naturally hurt but all we need do is put up with them and keep supporting our team. You always worry being a Leeds fan that this could all be a false dawn, but by hook or by crook, rightly or wrongly, we've just about got our club back. It's taken 7 years since Risdale started his mis-management but finally there is light on the horizon and I for one am just loving every minute of this season so far! Long may it continue.
