Best @lufcbayarea meetup ever! 100+ crowd, @49ers legend Joe Montana pouring pints at half-time, @LUFC win!
Thank you @thesquareball for having me! Great to talk all things @luamericas. It’ll air this summer. The t-shirt? Available now on the LUA shop.
I sat down with @lufc chairman Paraag Marathe at the @luamericas national meetup in New Orleans to discuss the recent transfer window, plans to redevelop Elland Road and his vision or the club.
Thanks to @dallas_stuart, @mattdavelewis and @thesquareball for coming along too.

Pros of living in California;
Great weather year-round, beautiful beaches and coastline, stunning national parks.
Cons of living in California:
Waking up at 4am on Saturday morning for Leeds United to ruin my weekend.
💛💙 @luamericas_ is ready for the 24/25 season!
Thanks to the 30 group leaders who joined us from across North America and @DanMoylan from The Square Ball for joining us to preview what could (should?) be a glorious return to the Premier League. MOT!
Yes, that's me! Awful game. We lost 3-0 and I left before full-time. Bad mascot.
It’s the 27th anniversary of the Coca-Cola Cup final between Aston Villa and Leeds Utd.
But more importantly, it’s that time of year again where we salute this young lad (@LUFCBayArea) for sporting the single greatest haircut ever seen on a mascot.
Epic. Absolutely epic. 👏🏻
Enjoyed hosting the owner of Leeds United @andrearadri for an event at the San Francisco 49ers stadium yesterday. Amazing turnout. Who knew there were so many @LUFC fans in California?!
Incredible morning at @LevisStadium! More than 80 @LUFC supporters for our meetup to watch the game plus a pre-match Q&A with Paraag Marathe and surprise guest @andrearadri!!
Why is diversity important? If you want to innovate, you need to bring together people who think differently and will challenge each other. That's collective intelligence.
@matthewsyed talking at @theRSAorg describes it brilliantly: youtube.com/watch?v=E5UHfcwa…

We met @andrearadri, Paraag Marathe and Angus Kinnear!
Thanks to the @49ers for inviting us. We spent 45 minutes chatting about everything from pre-match pints in the Peacock to our love of @TheSquareBall.
They're a great bunch of lads (no, really!)
Always to pleasure to get together with @LUFCBayArea. Great to see familiar faces (and a few new ones too). #MOT
Thanks again to @thesfac for hosting.
