Your dad knows Woggie!!! LEGEND!! the odd occasion being Leeds vs Saints? Lol yeah he is, such a good bloke and obviously because he knows him, ive got to know him down the years now. He is a bloody nice bloke and doesnt ever seem to get much of a mension really at the club although the players love him down there. I admit, knowing someone like that does have its perks although i dont quite take advantage of it really, not as much as i used to. Like you mentioned, i do get my Leeds tickets easy enough which makes a nice change....a quick 15min trip to the ground rather than 4 and a bit hours! Its cool because we get passes to go in the lounge and suites after and before the game. Whilst people queue up for their pie and tea or whatever, we can just shoot through the doors and your in the lounge with drinks and sarnies and that waiting. It does give you an idea of how cool some people live. For many years my grandpa had suite tickets at the dell and then at ST Marys so we would go at 12 and have a big lunch, watch the game, half time for cakes and tea/coffee, second half, come back in for more drinks the raffle to be drawn and the man of the match to come in. Great times I had. My first game I drew the raffle and the 3 people gave me £40 (one person gave all their winnings!) and that is probably what got me into football. He stills has a season ticket but gave up the suite last year to travel the world. He takes another person each week and I'm going to see Norwich so ;D

It is really swish and i must admit, it does seem quite surreal when you go in and you see famous faces you know just normally walking around or with a drink in their hand. Where do you normally go, the Le Tissier Suite or the Channon one?
