Chris,
I was told yesterday via 15x friends of friends who knows a man that once bought a pie from the Cracked Egg and he has "a strong source within ER and NW will be given the biggest 'warchest' in quite sometime (NB: might not actually add up to being that much  ) this summer".
Hope this cheers you up.

For as long as I can remember Leeds have had a community partnership type policy, they visit schools/hospitals/community projects etc, an ex friend of mine used to work at a drop in centre in Bramley, (oddly named as it was only drop outs that attended,) they received so many free tickets for every match these were supposed to encourage our drug induced youth to give up their wayward lives & channel their (lack of) energy into following Leeds United, however all that happened was they'd come in, grab the free tickets & then sell them for drug money.

Well, I've heard that the scouting team at Elland Road are not happy about this:
Mervyn Day probably said:
"This is not on, its OUR job to pick up discarded rubbish nobody else wants!"

Trivial news watch (2) - Lord Mayor visits Thorp Arch
I hope the breaking news of the retained list doesn't get in the way of any news like new potted plants in reception or the club shop gets a new window cleaner....

And there was me, logging onto the official site and then noticed the stories had jumped along so a NEW story MUST be breaking!!!!
As the page loaded I eagerly issued myself a 'giddy kipper' badge only for my enthusiasm to dwindle away like a Liverpool title challenge as I was met with this groundbreaking newsflash:
HALF PRICE TICKETS at FLAMINGO LAND FOR LEEDS FANS
Good god

Not trivial in itself, but does anybody else think today's article about Warnock's memories with the two clubs playing in L1's play off final is a bit pointless and without real connection to our club itself? He's got reason to feel the way he feels, but do we really have to know about what great a time he's had a both clubs?
MIXED EMOTIONS FOR WEMBLEY CLASH
24 May 2012
Two of the manager's former clubs go head to head...
United boss Neil Warnock will have mixed emotions when he watches Saturday's League One Play-Off final between Huddersfield Town and Sheffield United.
The Elland Road chief has managed both clubs during his career and was a boyhood supporter of Sheffield United.
The Blades finished third in the division, losing out to cross-city rivals Sheffield Wednesday in the battle for automatic promotion, while Huddersfield finished fourth.
"I can't really lose or I can't really win depending which way you look at it," said the United boss.
"I had a great time at Huddersfield and I think they're a very good club. I think they've got the better squad with Ched Evans missing at Sheffield United, but I always go back to supporting the Blades when I was a kid.
"Danny Wilson has done a very good job there and has been very unfortunate to lose his top goalscorer.
"It's a difficult shout and it could be a Jordan Rhodes finale."
Huddersfield striker Rhodes is the most prolific goalscorer in the Football League, and the United manager firmly believes whoever wins Saturday's game will compete in the Championship.
"I think whichever team comes up they'll more than hold their own," said the boss.
"Huddersfield are ambitious and look to move forward so it'll be difficult whichever team comes up, but it'll be great for the area.
"I do think there's some interest with all the derbies that we'll have next season."

So over the past 2 weeks we have stories of a takeover, stories of failed transfer attempts, stories of Warnock leaving and speculation of various investors.
As fans we eagerly log onto the official site to seek clarifications, denials, confirmations as excitement and disappointment builds.
But what do we get?
The first fixture of the new season will be confirmed later this week
Youth players sign a new deal
25% discount for Season Ticket Holders and Members at the 'Promised Land' play
and
Fathers Day at Elland Road
Well done Leeds United, the webs equivalent of an ostrich sticking its head in the sand....
Watch out for the next instalment of Trivial News Watch - probably later today or tomorrow

Meanwhile, early payment of officially advertised discounted price for long-standing fan like RW is thrown out the window a few months later, without much discussion. I'm sure he's happy to make the money back by numerous reduced price visits to Flamingo Land.

I can quote the ultimate trivial report, this will knock the socks off any trivialities that come out of Elland road,
Many many many years ago when I was a younger man than I am today I was living in Plymouth.
My lovely young wife & I were sat down in the living room of our married quarter (Royal navy) watching the local news on Westward television, we couldn't believe what we actually witnessed & if sky + had been invented then we would have rewound & recorded for posterity.
Judy Spiers was reading the news & in a very serious tone stated that the Mayor of Cornwall had dunked a biscuit into his coffee & as he was putting it to his mouth it broke off onto his Mayoral chain, this believe it or not was not a falsehood designed to discredit the Mayor of Cornwall or provoke a war between the two counties as it was backed up by footage of him actually dunking his biscuit & it going all over his Mayoral chain.
This must have been a very important thing for our West country cousins as the following news report was about a Royal Navy diver having a close encounter with a shark that had strayed into the dock.

I was once in Hornsea (don't ask) and one of the newspaper billboards had the headline:
PLANTS STOLEN FROM ROUNDABOUT - SEE TONIGHTS POST

Going off topic here but you did mention billboards.
A couple of years ago I bumped into an ex colleague in Ossett, he had just come out of the newsagents.
The sign on the billboard read "Rapist wanted" my colleague said I've just been in to apply for the post
Maybe this should have been posted in the funny stuff section.
