Well that has finally decided me about renewing my season ticket.
I have a hotel booked in Leeds for Friday night, as I am nearly 70and do not enjoy the return drive back to Cumbria in the dark. I cannot now cancel this. Wasted money.
I had thought, mistakenly, that Sky were only televising the Qualifiers on Saturdays.
Such a shame that after 55 years supporting the team, I miss the final game of the season, the last day of the historic South Stand and have a hotel room unoccupied. I also did not realise at the time that the Batley game was the last live game I will ever watch. (Appropriate in some ways, as the first game I ever watched at Headingley was Leeds v Batley, when a certain Lewis Jones was playing).
You sell your soul in a Faustian pact and the result is a loss of support in the future

Cheers Biff !

Ah, thats why I stopped visiting these boards...

regarding some of the ridicule on this topic regarding lee then imo some fans have very short memories and don't show the respect deserved sometimes for one of our former players and a lad that actually loves the rhinos club

for the fans that ridicule him

how many important gf tries did lee score?
what about his gf "lee smith is superman" harry sunderland man of the match performance?

ultimately lee was one of our own and he deserves the acolades that he was acredited with whilst he played for us,show some respect guys

He came back looking alarmingly overweight and out of shape which was all most people have commented on really from what i can see, and it was all on the night too, not a continuation of ridicule. rest of this thread is taken over by comments made from a certain Leigh poster and his hole digging.

Lee Smith will always be remembered fondly for what he achieved with us by Leeds fans. I also didn't like what Segeyaro did with the mocking wave when he scored, that was more disrespectful than anything written on these boards towards Smith imo.

I think Smithy has been unlucky in his league career since his return from yawion,he was an integral member of the rhinos and did perform well in big games I think we should cut him some slack but yes he appeared to have been dodging the salads
