    Probably the week before the first day of the season , which would make
    it 8th Aug.
    
    Phone up l'pool or Leeds or Wemberlee , they will have details of the
    tickets.
    
    Wots a Bond Holder - just curious.

    Meant to put this in the Leeds note (did a W not an R).
    
    By Bond Holder I mean a Leeds United Bond Holder (500 pounds = 100 pounds
    off a season ticket for 7 yrs + priority for tickets to Cup & European
    games etc. etc.). I think we may be allocated two tickets each.

243.3The donkey derbyPGREEN::FAIRBURNJFri Jul 10 1992 11:0610
    Prediction!
    
    Team in red with giraffe as centre forward        1
    
    Team in white with donkey as centre forward       1
    
    
    Both the said players from the animal kingdom will score.

243.4Probably the right result...YUPPY::SEABURYSFA Cup Winners 1992Wed Jul 29 1992 14:406
    I didn't realised that Alan Smith had signed for Leeds...

    It may be that I have to change my prediction to:
    
    Reds (now it would appear with a giraffe AND a donkey)  2
    Not red (sadly with only one four legged contributor)   1
    
    Rumours abound that Alan Smith is going to Anfield. Does this mean that
    someone (Rush or Saunders) will be out in the cold?

243.6History to be repeated ?GIDDAY::PARSONSLeeds United. Champions 91-92Fri Jul 31 1992 09:1310
    
    This years Charity Shield will not end in a draw. If the scores are
    level after 90 mins then it's penalties. The last time this was tried
    in the Charity Shield was in 1974 when ... Liverpool played Leeds !
    
    I wonder if both teams have already nominated who is to be sent-off,
    and also to strip on the way to the changing rooms ? Just hope Lukic
    doesn't try and emulate David Harvey (he missed the decisive penalty
    in '74 - he nearly became the first person to kick the ball out of the
    ground from a penalty)

    Finally going to see Leeds at Wembley - its been a long wait. 
    
    We're going down on a package deal from Leeds, staying in the Hilton
    near Wembley on Saturday night. Four hours on the M1 in a bus full of
    executive Leeds yobs = 4 showings of "The Champions" video + 4x4
    McEwans + endless 3 card brag etc... Decided not to take any cars - too
    many scousers around.
    
    Does anyone know any lively bars near Wembley for a couple of hours of
    pre-match chanting, ranting, bantering and shanting ? And what are the
    kicking places dooon the West End for our post-match celebrations ?
    
    Ta,
    
    Clive.
