What is your memory of the last 16 years?
Andy Robinson being signed and touted as a marquee signing?
Doncaster Rovers being called "Arsenal of the championship"?
Perhaps the immortal phrase from Cellino on THAT press conference "Apologies if my English is bad, I've been in Florida for 3 months"
Or even Graysons love in with a staff member..
Martin O'Neil anyone?
For me, it was joining this site when it was just made. Being a noisy latecomer to NOT606, I was shocked when my post introducing myself was greeted with "don't remember you mate" "can't say I've seen you b4". In fact at that point I had you all down as nobeds.
From the cheeries to the drearies...
From Cli.me to Eric thinking LIW called him a molestor😄
All the way to Johnny coming over to meet the boys and our boy Harj making his way beyond🥀
The last decade you've taken the pissssss, fought me, you've called me a crazy for suggesting we hire a specialised "jumping coach". You in 2013 voted me "poster of the year", that was great! But most of all you tarts have made me laugh when the chips were down in life, and laugh some more on top of that.
So if we do go up, this decade in the "slums of football", has been one hell of a ride. If we don't... Then liws lass is getting a visit Sunday night😘
Bless you bastrds👍🏿
If we don't mess this up...

Best memory has to be beating Man United in the cup.
A few of my personal favourite matches:
QPR at home, Gradel with a brace. 2-0 Leeds.
Brighton at home, Wood brace and an electric atmosphere in a Leeds win.
Beating WBA 4-0 at home. What an atmosphere that night.
Derby away last season. Confirmed we were the real deal under Bielsa.
Been some cracking games amongst all the sh*t.

Highlight surely has to be Haye's mention of us being confirmed as the real deal against Derby. Still get goosebumps thinkingnof that night and how ****ing good we were after years of being crap.
Other highlights for me;
* Beckford, Somma, Snodgrass, Saiz, Klich
* Norwich 0-3 Leeds
* Lassoga v Millwall to make it 3-2 with ten men
* Spygate

The 16 years for me can be summed up with the memory of joining the lust members for last game of season v Leicester with the aim of Bates protests.
Bates must have been alerted to the 200 ticket changes into the east upper and sent an army of heavy security staff who repeatedly ejected people for singing against Bates. Was a nasty experience and just sums up the shysters we have had at the helm.

Henry’s winner in the FA Cup is my favorite Leeds memory

doing laps of my then office when Howson scored v Carlisle, Wembley and back in a day, nearly contracting frostbite at ER on more than one occasion, meeting some of you fine people, and LiW. Too much to mention.

Getting my picture on page 3 of the national papers after the Man U game,
Stood in the rain at Histon,
Play off despair twice,
Visiting all the grounds in div 1,
Getting my season ticket renewal form from Mr Bates and finding the cost had doubled for the championship,
Meeting Cellino at York races and him telling the lads i had scary eyes,
Season ticket costing me £80 a game for a couple of seasons around the end of Bates reign as i couldnt be bothered to go,
But I've been going since 1969-70 season so been lucky to have seen the great times so accepted it was what it was, we could say we've seen it all these last 16 years and its time to get back to where we belong, think we have been blessed with Bielsa the football has been great but he is also a truly wonderful human being, whoever follows him will have a hard act to follow, i will be glad when we get up more for our younger supporters who wont have seen the really good times and the club in general, me ? Cant say i will look forward to the PL anymore than the championship, its my club and i have done and would watch them wherever we played.

Hiding behind my chair at 1-1 against Bristol in last game in League One just before Beckford scored!
Other than that, my jaw on the ground with the way we beat Stoke in Bielsa's opening game after I'd been dreading playing the newly-relegated Prem side with pretty much the same team as before MB arrived.
I remember thinking "why on Earth is he playing Phillips?" (who I'd spent berating for most of the previous season). I really thought we were going to get a pasting!
