Interested to hear the #1 reason I should be a LUFC fan, and the #1 reason I shouldn't. Cheers!
Hi Joe - where are you in the US?

I lived in Houston TX during the 90's and my son is now living in Scotsdale AZ.

Agree with NW's earlier post, with the possible addition that you must recognize Yorkshire as God's county :lol:
I'm in New Jersey. And I'd have no problem acknowledging Yorkshire as God's country.

At the risk of being jeered off the forum, I'm something of a Samuel Smith's fanboy
Good man Joe :thumbup: Are you able to access our games live over there? My son has a subrsciption for Premiership games at a few $/month that is ridiculously cheap by UK standards.

I worked for a company headquarted in Wall NJ so have sampled the broadwalks of the Jersey shore - very enjoyable! Also, inevitably, Newark airport....

I'm sure we'd enjoy quoffing a Sam Smiths with you, so absolutely no jeering
Yeah, I'll likely get Peacock for it at some point, it's quite cheap. Till then, I'll just load up on YouTube highlights. Any good YT commentary channels for the club?

Welcome Joe!

Reason to pick Leeds - most loyal fans in the world and you will meet them all over the world.

What American side do you follow?

There are official (& unofficial) Leeds supporters groups in the US, where they meet up for games. I know there is one in New York.

I was born not too far away from Leeds but have spent over 30 years in Australia, my support has never dwindled.

MOT!
Owners come and go but Leeds United will be there forever, for the fans - keep Marching on Together.

Welcome Joe, good to have you on board.

Once a Leeds fan always a Leeds fan, win lose or draw.
Keep your face always toward the sunshine - and shadows will fall behind you.

I'm a Buffalo Bills fan. Have been since childhood.

Welcome Joe. I was born and grew up not far from Elland Road, been part of my life ever since.
I'm living in Massachusetts now, I work with a company in New Jersey, Rockaway, was down there just before covid broke.
Over the years we've been knocked down, but we always get back up. That's what makes the club and supporters strong, a bond, loyal.

I am in Fall River, about 30 miles SW of the town of Plymouth. I actually drive through part of Plymouth County on my way to work.

I'm familiar. We used to drive through that area on the way to visit my grandparents on the Cape. Small world.
