WHEN Ken Bates was handed a “Visit Beeston” postcard by the editor of The Square Ball at a recent Q&A event at Elland Road, he remarked that even he’d seen it before. With whatever joke there was now wearing a bit thin since its launch in the Leeds United fanzine’s February issue, we thought we’d better make “Visit Beeston” jiggle around or something exciting like that.

So today, slotting in alongside the free downloads and rather smashing t-shirt is this 45-second animated trip of a lifetime back inside Mr Chairman’s mind to the LS11 of the future etc…

“Our situation is paradoxical: never have the forces of repression been so weakened, yet never have the exploited masses been so passive. Still, insurrectional consciousness always sleeps with one eye open. The arrogance, incompetence, and powerlessness of the governing classes will eventually rouse it from its slumber.”
~ Raoul Vaneigem

THE outcome of last week’s unprecedented summit meeting of individual Leeds United fans with existing official and unofficial groups, Ten for Ken offers the best opportunity yet for the devoted and the disgruntled to try to comprehend the goings-on at our football club.

Ten for Ken is the distillation of 5 years of Ken Bates’s Leeds United into 10 core questions we supporters feel duty-bound to ask our football club. Does it feel duty-bound to answer them?

So read them, download them, print and share them. Agree with them or disagree with them. But consider them, talk about them and go to tenforken.com and join them.

Look out for Ten for Ken flyers at Elland Road tomorrow, and listen now to Ten For Ken on last night’s Leeds United Unplugged show on Radio Leeds.

AFTER the sell-out success of the issue featuring TBG’s “Visit Beeston” full-colour pullout (buy the T-shirt here), The Square Ball has commissioned another: based for some reason on a long-running series of low-budget farces.

Issue 10 of the magazine goes on sale for just £1 from vendors outside Elland Road at Saturday’s game against Southend United, and also online at thesquareball.net.

10p from each copy sold goes to Candlelighers, the chosen charity of the families of Chris Loftus & Kevin Speight.
