All I know about events in Leeds is that the fact that the so called fastest growing city in the uk has a council that repeatedly fails to attract investment for a decent indoor concert venue they don't seem to mind selling off vast tracts of land to build those bloody ugly blocks of flats that will all end up like the ones built in the 60's. Leeds inner city is starting to look like an explosion in the leggo factory.Rant over.

One word, Arena. That's all we need to answer the events in Leeds question. Everybody i have spoken to would like an arena here in Leeds so where is it? This would mean that we would be bringing in more money for the city and placing it on the UK (and world?) map for once and for all!

On the subject of rumours - I post on a few United footyfan forums and it seems a VERY wealthy Dubai royal (or his emissaries) are in Leeds at the moment - to discuss possible investment in United (!) and to discuss development of the Elland Road area with L.C.C. Fingers X'd - for Leeds AND United.

So MANY takeover rumours flying around at the mo.But if this one happens, Duncan Revie (the Don's son) would be their frontman. After the trials and tribulations of the past five years, heaven knows we need some GOOD news (and stability), at United.I'n 53 years old now and grew up supporting the lads. Even tho I'm an expat these past 20 years, I still keep my support passionately and get over for games at Elland Road when I can. I'd LOVE to see United back at the top, in my lifetime. As I said in my last post - FINGERS X'D!!!!

Mate (your name "Festwerfer" means "Party Painter" in Dutch, BTW! lol!), I could discuss this with you all evening, but we have already seriously hijacked this thread and I apologise to the thread starter.Maybe we should start a seperate one just about LUFC?
