We had our first trip to Leeds with children back in 2007. Our son Andreas have problems with flying so our trip was by car from Andebu in Norway. The trip took one week including ferry from Stavanger to Newcastle and back. Svend Anders Karlsen-Moum in LUSCOS helped us with tickets and put us in contact with Stix.
On matchday Stix gave us fantastic support so Andreas was able to see the players warm up from outside the tunnel at Elland Road.
Stix also invited us to Thorp Arch on Monday October 8th who was Andreas 15 birthday.
What a way to celebrate his 15th birthday. After a guided tour inside Thorp Arce and watching the team train for one hour, Gus Poyet get the whole team around us and Stix took a great photo of us at the training Ground.
After this we was heading for the car when Stix asked us “are you not hungry?” please join me and the team for lunch.
We could not believe what was happening. Having great food with your idols in the lunchroom at Thorp Arch was nearly too much for a Norwegian Leeds heart. Queuing up for lunch with Tresor Kandol in front of me and Jermaine Beckford pushing me in the back to get to the food faster.
Even now after all these years it`s hard to believe what we have experienced actual are true.
Thank you, Stix, for everything you do for the club and Leeds fans all over the globe. You are a real Gentleman and a friend.
