Okay I'm putting it out in the open, I want peoples views on what I do...
Firsty I'm 15. I do 2 paper rounds a week, waking up at 6am and working for an hour. Same again straight after school. I get £35 a week. This money is ALWAYS spent on Leeds United. £25 on the coach, ticket prices vary, usually around £15. Program at £4, food&drink £5, whilst trudging around outside the ground alone with £600 worth of stuff in my trusty bag.
I buy all the shirts whenever I can. £8 on my membership for my travel, £25 on Leeds United membership.
What do I get in return? Put simply, what THE FANS give. Some fantastic atmospheres, brilliant memories, the stuff you live for as a fan. Im sick of Bates. My boyhood hero (Beckford) walked away, my favourite player Gradel has gone. Nobody else is coming in.
No more, its a waste of money I'm afraid. I will attend a few matches, derbies etc.. But my money now will be spent having a laugh with my mates, family, girlfriend etc...
Is anyone else in a similar frame of mind/position to me? I've had enough. Thoughts? Bates Out. MOT!.

Two points
1. You should be in bed by now.
2. If what you're saying is true, and I believe you then I would do exactly wahat you say '... have a laugh with your mates, family, girlfriend etc...' come back when the tide has turned.
You will still be a Leeds fan.
It will not always be like this.

That is only we get lucky!
Most of the time they are in flower beds or in the gutter!
