Welcome in rschroe1, if that's your real name...!
Hi Rob welcome aboard!rschroe1 wrote:Hi everyone, my name is Rob, and I'm from Chicago, USA. I've followed the Premier League generally over the years but never had a club to follow. With a lot of time on my hands coming up this fall and winter thanks to the pandemic, I decided this would be a good year to throw in my lot with a side.
No one likes a frontrunner, so I chose between the three promoted teams. In my highly unscientific selection process, Leeds fit everything I would look for in a club to support: rich history, old and historic stadium, great fan base and a hated rival among the wealthy clubs.
So here I am, however randomly. Like any good American, I'm a bit of a football novice but looking forward to learning a lot more about the game moving forward.
Added to the map! Thanks for the kind welcome, everyone. Yes, Chicago, Illinois. Never been to Evansville, though it is only a few hours away.Welcome aboard. There's probably a million ways to find an allegiance to club luckily your way found you the most frustrating, wonderful, amazing, soul destroying unbelievable and greatest club in the world. Enjoy the ride with Leeds it's always a roller coaster.

Welcome pal - you've made the right choice. Following Leeds may not guarantee glory, but it'll guarantee excitementrschroe1 wrote:Hi everyone, my name is Rob, and I'm from Chicago, USA.
