This seems to be the recurring theme running through a lot of the posts over the last few days.
Should people now stop going to watch Leeds at home until something is resolved either way?
Now for people who aren't lucky enough to live in Leeds and go to games I can see their (potential) bias.
Likewise those with ST's will most probably be sat on the otherside of the proverbial fence.
For me I don't have a season ticket, although I do live in this great city.
I have been to three games so far this year, Shrews, Wolves and B'Burn at the weekend. My friends and I discuss if we want to go and purchase the tickets usually a week before.
The discussion came up about Hull and Forest double header next week. I am of the thinking that from 15.00-17.00 on a Saturday afternoon there is no where greater to be than roaring chants for 90 minutes at beloved ER.
However I am at a crossroads, should I be paying £30 a ticket and do the thing I love, or should I be bowing down to the silent protesters and be keeping my cash firmly in my back pocket?
I hate Bates, I think what he has done to this great club is nothing short of robbery. However for me when I am there I forget about him and his executive boxes and concentrate on the football. Okay there are a few anti-bates chants that bring me back to reality but on the whole the team is the only thing I focus on.
If I am sat at home on a Saturday watching on Sky Sports then in a strange way I really think Uncle Ken has then won, he has beaten me.
I hate KB but I won't let him stop me going to Elland Road.
Just wondered what the thoughts were on here...
Should you or I stay away from Elland Road?

RSL, I just hope you are right....
I just think you are wasting 8 years of your life by not going to ER because of Bates, when you hit those pilry gates mate, don't have any regrets

never said it was 8 years
As for Bates,dont you thinking knowing the way he is that he is demanding too much from potential new owners.
A struggling club minus of thousands of fans leaves Bates in a much weaker bargaining position.
Never said it would not be painful short term but long term surely its worth it an more

RSL...................can't you give up on this till after we see what happens at the end of this week
All this boycott carp might not be necessary if things go the way we hope.
My personal thoughts on boycotting are well known btw.
