Leeds fans?
I am wondering if there are any fans from Leeds/general Northern England. Now there is a direct flight from Leeds Bradford Airport to Belfast twice a week (Friday & Sundays) I have been able to get to games. I haven't had a connection to Belfast before going to a random game on the whim and loving it. My local club went bust and now are part time (Leeds in several guises) so have stuck with Ulster.
Hopefully not the only Yorkshire honorary Ulsterman!

Getting a little ahead of ourselves are we not?

WE get to bestow honorary Ulsterman status, not any Yorkshiremen or any other blow ins awarding to themselves!

Don't do exams these days Dave - not allowed to let people fail them.

All too true, Grumps. If he's a Russian Oligarch we will happily accept any donation before getting his assets frozen off him at ravers.
I have my own tv channel, what have you got?

Re: Leeds fans?
Being a bit hopeful there Dave - Russian oligarchs don't tend to fly into and out of Leeds-Bradford
Not without buying it first anyway.

Re: Leeds fans?
I used to be a Leeds fan when I was if an age where it was obligatory to support some Engerlish soccer team or other.
All the Leeds fans I meet here seem to be near enough the same age!

Flights from LBA to BFS 4 times/week with EZY (frequency reducing spring/summer)
The BA ones can work out surprisingly competitive, so i would always check.
Also Manchester is sometimes a good option coming from Leeds.

Re: Leeds fans?
They are good timings too especially on the Friday as get into Belfast usually around 4pm which is ideal. I much prefer the atmosphere over at Ulster and Ireland in general, it is alot better than some snobbish English clubs and their exclusive clubhouse mentality.BR wrote:Flights from LBA to BHD daily with BAStu_Ulster wrote: ↑Wed Feb 23, 2022 7:18 pm I am wondering if there are any fans from Leeds/general Northern England.

Re: Leeds fans?
Thank you sir! Luckily I haven't ever been a Leeds fan in the soccer sense just the Rugby Union which was run whilst it lasted especially under the "Yorkshire Carnegie" banner with Sir Ian McGeechan sharing his knowledge. The problem was when he pulled the plug so did all the funding and they had to go part time, the academy collapsed and they ended up relegated and now are struggling under "Leeds Tykes" in the league below.Cap'n Grumpy wrote:Getting a little ahead of ourselves are we not?![]()

Re: Leeds fans?
There used to be some Leeds based supporters who went to some games in GB. I remember especially an xpat Ulsterman and his son. Havent seen them recently, and i dont think they went to many home games.
Make sure and post here when you have plans to come over. We wouldn't want you to be a lonley-pint.

Re: Leeds fans?
Thanks alot, definitely will. I try to get to the away games in the the UK too especially "Europe" but Edinburgh will be most likely on the list as not too far on the train.BR wrote:There used to be some Leeds based supporters who went to some games in GB.
