Have a little play with the database. Or if you just want to enjoy the ride with us, it's 2014. Or we're into the 2015 part of the season now with the business end, actually. We are at the helm of the Legion United Phoenix Club in the sixth tier of the English game, but not for much longer. That part of the journey is nearly over.

We're trying to close down Red Bull Leeds. The original club was sold to them to Red Bull by David Hague. Jesse Marsh, is he still their manager? He is. He's clinging on. Yep. We were booted out of Ellen Road on ceremoniously, and we're headed for Headingley in North Leeds, playing under a dome because Michael forgot to edit the database correctly.

So we're in a big indoor stadium.

Eddie Gray's the boss.

He's the chair. and we're headed for Headingley in North Leeds, playing under a dome, because Michael forgot to edit the database correctly.

Arcadia Brendan Luke Chisholm. He is Brennan, so. Yeah, that's true. That is true. But, yeah, Red Bull Leads actually doing it annoyingly quite well, seventh in the championship, right on the, if they win their game in hand, they go into the playoffs. Well, we'll keep tabs on that then as the season closes out.

We haven't spent a single penny in the transfer market.

We've been hoovering up, young Italian kids, a few lead United Stolwart, some sentimental favourites, that kind of thing. We're actually about to get soon up with a new youth intake. They're in the building. Right. Do they know what's in store, minimum wage? awful conditions. We'll assess them in a moment. Yeah. So we should say our front of shirt sponsor, Plattenham partner, is Levi's Listers. We'll offer you a 10% discount on your legal fees on their full range of services.

That's all you about. Yeah. So where we left it, we booked ourselves a spot at Wembley, our following life and all that.
