Fanzone: Leeds

Fanzone: Leeds

This week's fanzone features David Campbell, a 27-year-old Leeds Rhinos fan who hails from Sunderland.

How long have you supported Leeds and can you remember your first game?
I have supported them for the best part of 20 years now and I first saw them against Salford at Headingley. I was about 9 and my grandad took me.

What are your best and worst memories of supporting your team?
My best part has to be the Rhinos winning back to back championships over the last two years. My worst moment was the last Grand Final. It was my honeymoon and we were in Canada. I ran round all the pubs with my Leeds top on asking if anyone would put the game on live. With no luck I just kept checking the score on my mobile.

How is this season going in your opinion?
This season I personally think is one of the best yet. Lots more close an competitive games so makes it a little bit more interesting.

What are your hopes for the future for your club?

My hopes are that Leeds win the title again this year. Also with some great young players coming through the future is looks good for us.

What are your thoughts on the Super League licensing system?
My thoughts on the SL licensing system are simple. It's a joke. I understand why they have done it to strengthen the SL but where does this leave the lower league teams. My local team is Gateshead Thunder and I often go and see them play as it's just up the road. It seems like the RFL have said we'll look after the teams we want in SL and to hell with the rest. I'm sure the only way this system will work is if they put the same rule on NL and NL1. Makes it fair that all teams can strengthen up and work on a plan for the SL instead of the RFL knit picking who they want in the SL.

What do you see for the future of rugby league?

The future of SL to me isn't good. The RFL seem happy to keep everything in the heartland and not concentrate on NLs to help develop the sport as a whole. So I can see it staying where it is. Not getting any bigger or smaller but just there as it always has been. I hate this as its one of the greatest games this world has to offer.
