RUMBELOWS91 Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 Just watching Leeds... Ground full, replica shirts galore, proper shirt sponsor, advertising boards constantly rotating proper sponsors. Forgetting the football and the fact this season they have hired a proper manager and spent some money- why have we chosen to go down such a different route re all the above?

Leeds really aren't the best example given their recent history in relation to their varied owners and the fact they are a bigger name than us anyway. Look at Derby maybe and how they do things.

To be fair we don't stack up well compared to anybody. No point sugar coating it. There is no aspect of the club, no KPI, no commercial, community or engagement area, where I can honestly say we are close to achieving what we should be. Dirty Leeds are still Dirty Leeds though, and I'd take us at our lowest ebb above those classless scrubbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know they're a bigger name, but wouldn't that just mean they demand a bigger fee for sponsorship, ads etc. I'd it really so different that we are better off taking in hardly any revenue- or has Chansiri really stumped up cash for All the ads around the ground? Does if show in the accounts anywhere what he's paid fo r all the D Taxi, Elev8 ads etc? Genuinely curious if anyone has looked close enough?

Leeds fans have been through some reyt poo these past few years to arrive at what is currently being quoted as a comparison. Did the chairman ever refund the money re. the playoff guarantee to st holders that season btw? Will have a look... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Re. Leeds in general since Bates came in, and those after him, they really have had to put up with some pretty mad stuff continuously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
