You moan about these huge £26 ticket prices, yet its cheaper for you lot When you consider travel costs than any southern away game you'l have, and this for the biggest team outside the premiership!

I'm not going either, also as a matter of principle. I didn't go last year and I will never pay to go to Elland Road ever again.
I will be glad to see the back of the Yorkshire Puddings.
As for how good they are...they're not even in the top five in their own stinking county.

...but you're just an established Division One side, all that 'used to be someone once' stuff is just so much history, you're just the same as us now. Fact. :laugh:

Yes, we have never been able to survive in the 3rd Division for longer than 3 seasons either.

Getting a bar job is a good idea - it wasn't for one thing: there are 17,000 students in Canterbury with 2 main universities, who probably have the same idea about getting a job to compliment their living.

Also, being a student is actually much more than just reading of books: there are practical exercises, essays, presentations and tests throughout the year, which also take up a lot more time.

Being a University student isn't a 9-3 or 9-5 job for that matter. There are 24 hours in the day. It's not all that rare for some students to have to burn the midnight oil. They say it is actually supposed to be a full time profession.

But I hate the view that is being taken by more and more people that students are lazy scroungers. We contribute towards society and when my studies finish, it is my intention to find long term employment, so at least, unlike some people that we all too well know about in this country generally, defraud the benfits system by not bothering to find any proper work.

I am doing this to better myself as a person.

I have never read as much bollocks ever on the bunker. I worked all the way through uni, twice, in a bar or in the bookies. You have the weekend to go and work. You dont even drink so waking up hungover isnt a problem. I current have a 9-5 job, but have a second job in a pub 3 nights a week 6-11. There are jobs out there for people who want them and will do anything.

Studying isnt that hard if you plan your time right. I also played sport at uni and went out all the time and ended up with a 2:1 as well as working saturday and sunday. You obviously like your bed and shit tv to much.

Studying is pretty hard if you do it right, like. :wink:

Also it depends on the subject/how much reading you've got to do. My degree involved about 6 hours lectures/tutorials per week and at least 4 or 5 times that amount of time in reading and producing written work.

I don't really see the point of going to uni if you're not interested in the subject sufficiently to want to spend time on it.

parmopooly · **Posted:** Mon Nov 30, 2009 11:15 am

Leeds get on average 19,000 these days it seems, so by my reckoning there will be at least 15/16 other clubs who are bigger than that

I agree with you on liking your subject, however his claims that he has no time for a job are a load of rubbish, the reason I had to get a job was because I needed the money to live. When you are forced into doing something its amazing that you find the time to do it as well as study etc.

Surely it's Leeds prerogative to charge whatever they want if it's in line with league rules.

Personally I'm pleased that Ken Bates has decided to try and fleece us as a category A game, as it's made it easier to decide whether or not to go. At these prices I'd rather go down the Mill if they've got the commentary on and have a few beers instead of paying £26 for a ticket.

That maybe so, but we are still in a recession. Unemployment is at its highest level in a decade. The job market will be as competitive than its ever been for during and afterwards.

Sorry, I meant 3 hours on a Wednesday and 4 hours on Thursday.

But one thing I'm not is lazy. The next three weeks before Christmas is going to very busy as I will have to work on a couple of essays and I will have some exams as well.

We get a month of for Christmas. There's a reason why they give us that. The terms are so full-on that you need sufficient time to recover from them.

I worked in bars, shops and bookies when I was doing A-levels, but I know for a fact that sort of work isn't easy to get now.

I am a believer that if you want to work at uni and you have a bit of personal skills it should be ok to find a job. I decided when moving down here to get a second job to meet people walked out of my daytime job at 5 and I had a job in a bar the next day. POK you are trying to argue that there is no time to have a job at uni a point that is very hard to believe. I am dyslexic, played sport at uni and went out on the lash but still managed to have two jobs and end my course with a 2:1.

It's ok, it didn't offend me in any way!

I was lucky enough not to have to pay fees though, I think that it's totally wrong that students are now liable for their own course fees. I'm already putting money away for my boy for if he goes to Uni, and he's not a year old yet!

I guess I must have been lucky then as I have never found it hard to get a job if I wanted one. I worked constantly through my education a-levels and at degree. The reason for that is I had to, no work equalled no food, drink or going out, getting annoyed that there is no student discount on ticket isnt the answer getting off your arse and working is.

Some universities do not allow students to undertake employment, with students having to sign to say that they agree to this. This seems to be against human rights to me, but that is probably another story.
These universities tend to be the large established and prestigious ones. This in turn keeps their establishments as elitist preventing all but the richest from being able to attend them and as these seats of learning provide most of the ruling class (in its broadest sense) guarantees wealth and power are kept amongst a small group.

Well, obviously studying for me is tough, but going to University is a damnsight better than having to work on a building site in all conditions.

I couldn't do any job like that.
