Messages Of Goodwill For Board

Last updated : 24 March 2004 By Kevin Markey
Chairman Gerald Krasner says he has been overwhelmed by the show of support from Leeds fans everywhere.

Messages have been flooding in from as far afield as Australia and America as the new board look to re-build. "The support we've had has been really encouraging," Krasner said today in the YEP. "Ever since we started work on this, I'd say that 99 per cent of the calls and messages we've had have been positive and that's great.

"There were lots of people, who knew nothing about us, shaking our hands (at the Man City game). There was a group of 20 lads who waited after the game to say 'thank you', the looks on their faces said it all.

"Leeds have always had the greatest supporters in the country and that just shows it. I have to say I'm looking forward to meeting as many of them as possible at tomorrow night's supporters' meeting when we will try and answer all their questions."

The first fan forum takes place in the Elland Road banqueting suite tomorrow evening at 7.30pm.
