Quite correct my memory has become quite hazy since then

i do remember a lot of "Sack the board" chants that season

It worked.

While relegation wasn't a serious threat that season the way Leeds limped into the summer era and the direction the club was heading was.

what was biggest crowd that season at HQ?

As ever you make my point for me - well done luv

...........and your response illustrates your arrogance and stupididty.

He makes an argument. A good argument. He makes a post that you may or may not agree with but he makes a post which has merit.

Then you resond like that. Your response is exactly the kind of response that coming from a Leeds fan would have your lace panties all in a twist.

I'll respond how I like to this particular poster if that's alright with you.
It's a crap argument IMO so live with it. Stupid is as stupid does and hats off to you you do it well.

So that is how it works? Leeds fans post such tripe and we're arrogant but you've got carte blanche to behave how you like?.

Fact is Vasty, you're a hypocrite. Most Wakey fans are just like you. Happy to dish it out but that chip on your shoulders burns really bad when you get it back.

Luckily for us Leeds fans we support a club that is far superior to yours so we can afford to be arrogant. Also luckily for us you support a s[ihi[/it club which brings nothing to the league so the next time the licences are announced we will be rid of your crap club, crap ground and moronic set of fans for good.

I won't be shedding a tear.

Not a bad average figure that. I wonder how that figure compares with other SL clubs in that season?? I bet we'd be higher in that table than in the league table, of that season.

And the best bit is you don't have to wonder you only have to ask.

Work yer magic.

Well done mate. That concurs what I thought. So the nay-sayers who write us off as Glory Supporters should look at that table. Obviously that figure has shot up, but it also shows there was a healthy structure, a hardcore base of fans, who watched us in one of our darkest seasons.

I remember spending my weekend leave watching the likes of the gibbons twins and tuipilotu(sp).
I remember being gutted when harvey howard and neil harmon left aswell cracking props on their day.

Young Morley and Fozzard were worth watching.

I was never a huge fan of either Harvey or Harmie (remember that radio show they had!!!

). Harvey was a better runner with the ball, but I felt that they lacked that belly of fire that was needed. It's only in recent years that we have built a solid, hard, set of forwards.

They were but morley was crazy f#*ker even back then.
It was shame fozzard kept getting injured.
I hate to admit but young foreshaw was a good player for us aswell.

Forshaw was terrible for us. Absolutley terrible. Couldn't catch a cold. I remember McGhan and or Bell commenting in an Evening post article about them working on his ability to catch (and hold) the ball in traffic.

he went off to RU and came back to the Bulls a 100% better player.

For some reason I don't remember much about that season. I started watching Leeds in 94 as a 10/11 year old and remember loving Jim Fallon and his hair but the 1st SL season escapes my memory (obviously for good reason

). 97 onwards is vivid in my memory.

Which year was it that we were denied beating Wigan in the last few minutes IIRC? Think Robinson scored. I sat in the North Stand then and it was at the now Carnegie end. That game sticks out in my head. Was that 97?

I thought he was a hardworker with potential but then again mick shaw was supposed to be the next big thing aswell

Oh he didn't shirk anything and he clearly had potential (which he later realised, sadly, with the Bulls) but boy did he have a bad case of the dropsies.

Just to add to this McDermott faked to go for a drop and then drove the ball in while the Wigwn defence was stood there looking silly. Cant remember if that ended up a try.

OK then!!!



It did look lovely when he run, all long and bouncy.



Fag.

Oi, loving his wing play ya foo'

His hair just added to the exitement

He was excellent, I have to say. I had him on the back of shirt at the time. And my mate at the time, had Tait on his, but he went to a cheapo shop, where they use nasty letters and numbers, and they spelt it 'TATE'. LMFAO for weeks.
