Listened to an interesting interview carried out by The Square Ball with a Hollywood Director & Actor, Max Winkler & Jessica Barden.
Jessica is from Leeds, but Max Winkler is hollywood born & bred. He has become a Leeds fan following watching the Amazon Documentary, and mentions a quite amazing growth in Leeds fans around LA, in particular a great interest in Victor Orta following the documentary.
He watches every Leeds game live and cannot wait for the opportunity to come and visit.
They listen to the square ball podcast weekly and hence the reason why Paramount pictures contacted the lads running the podcast and requested the interview.
The bigger picture to all this is impact that our success and our recent moves to increase our publicity around the world. To us the documentary was a brief insight into what we already new and a reminder to our highs and lows over the last couple of seasons. But to a lot of the world its a gateway into the club and a great way to increase the fan base.
It will be fascinating to see if the new link up with Rocnation can have a positive effect around the globe, and if so how big that effect will be. There doesn't appear to be much to lose with the deal though and it is a reminder that these promotions are not really aimed at us, the fans that have been here through the painful year, but aimed at the fans we never gained because of them years. And the more fans we can attract the more finance we can bring in and the better players we can buy and the more trophies we can win.

Suddenly 'Odog', has a fitting ring to it..
I draw the line at Orta wearing a yankees baseball cap, and dropping some flows though

I've said a few times I have people asking me about Leeds, when allowed in the ground have a Vfl scarf and always something Leeds on, some were saying in the Championship what Bielsa has done was great, and a few have said they've even watched Leeds because of what they've heard!..
They say for neutrals they're a great watch!..
I wonder why?..
Some even want a manager swap!.

Jeez... don’t we have enough plastics already without picking up a few yanks with a Netflix addiction?
That Bielsa has a lot to answer for, with his morals and pretty football... makes you pine for paddy kenny hoofing route 1 and the togetherness of a no one likes us we don’t care, attitude.

I preferred it when Warnock used to tell us how long the players were out injured for. Them were the days!

Exactly faith... we have to tolerate this Argentinian buffoon telling us he set the team up incorrectly when we could have Colin telling it like it is and blaming Tom Lees. God I miss those days.
