Ah the Laughton era....



'We're all on the march with Dougies army.... We're all off to Wemb-er-leee...

And we're gonna shake em up, when we win the challenge cup coz Leeds are the greatest rugby team.......' And repeat....

There was one game at Thrum Hall (ask your parents, kids) when it just seemed to last for the whole second half. I remember other people around us asking us to stop and it just spurring us on.

Haha I can remember it being like that a few times. In the particularly poor games, sometimes even a try wouldnt interupt it. Brilliant times, even though we were massive under achievers with that team, some great days out, and some great trips to central park.

IIRC it was sang all the way throught half time @ Central Park during the Offiah ten try game. When that massive blue & amber flag was unravelled there'd always be a bit of a reaction. I wonder what happened to the flag, it was brought out at a home game once and seemed to reach from the bottom of the South Stand to the top.



The South Stand is certainly a different place nowaways, I blame the band!

There were some great days out, for me at times it was more about the terrace experience than the game itself. Its funny, at the away games like Salford, Cas, Halifax we'd always stand at the side. i can't imagine the Salford fans being to happy when 50% of the fans in their side terrace were the singing Leeds fans. Central Park was always my favourite, indeed, i think I was first served for beer @ the bar at the end of their main stand.

It wasn't a song exactly, but I'm sure the "Fox Out" chant could be up for an adapted comeback.



"Green, green grass of Headingley" was always my favourite. Brian Mac might like it too given it's based on the (US) Marines Hymn.

Doesnt sound as though there will be enough of you to make a noise. very poor ticket sales. You couldnt even sell you allocation for the semi final only 25 miles away. I think you have all made the right decision me thinks a good hiding coming to you from Wigan.

They say losing in the semi-final is the worst feeling in sport.

Kevin Iro's debut - vs Widnes IIRC on a Friday night at Headingley - That's the only time I can recall the S Stand actually singing all the way through half time. I guess we thought it was the start of something big

Green Green Grass is sung at (almost) every game still

I do enjoy that. We are the winning rhinos strait into when the Leeds go marching in is also a good one. Just hope there's more atmosphere than last year. Mind you this game will sort the wheat from the chaff, those who go truly want to go and not merely hanging onto the coat tails.



Bring em on!

I know who owns the flag ... Not sure what happened to it, will have to ask him.



I also know who got the aforementioned flag in to Stade Charlette in Paris in '95





One chant when that came out was "We all live in a blue & amber stand" to the tune of "Yellow Submarine"
