The Leeds United Thread I

Yes correct nearly all Bradford fans hate Leeds with a passion. I dont know about Leeds as a city overshadowing Bradford being the cause, not saying it dosent Leeds is a lot nicer city than Bradford. But back in the 80s it was the other way round I think, Bradford was really developed then.

The main reason Bradford fans hates Leeds is because of what happend in 86 at Odsal, were many Bradford fans believe that Leeds fans made a mockery of the Bradford fire by setting grass and the chip van on fire.

What do you like about our supporters ?

But you have to admit, when we play the atmosphere is mental !! Even this time in the cup. I dont think it was one sided because the Leeds fans buzzing when they scored and when they lost caused a bit of issues

I like proper fans, at "small" clubs. Football should be about supporting your local team, or maybe having a family connection. It really annoys me when you get kids wearing Scum or Chelsea tops in a city with their own club.

Also you have done well over the past couple of seasons with no money or resources and turned over the millionaire tossers a few times. Hard not to feel you are deserving of that after all the suffering over the years.

Leeds fans suffer too, we have had **** throw at us for year after year and yet still the support is phenomenal, the loyalty visceral.

So I empathise. Even though you hate us!

I've had this discussion with another Bradford fan on here before. I'd say the Leeds/Bradford rivalry is quite one way. Bradford fans always seem to care what Leeds do & take every opportunity to ridicule us for whatever reason. Whereas Leeds fans don't give much of a toss about Bradford because they're just a small pokey club from the same area.

You mean the same way Manu and Chelsea couldnt really give a toss about Leeds ? Yet Leeds fans always care about them......

So we took nearly 58,000 fans on the road this year, nearly 11,000 more than second placed side Middlesbrough. Also interesting that both matches between Leeds and Bournemouth were played on a Tuesday night, which means a near 8 hour round trip for both sets of fans & we took almost 7x as many down to Dean Court than they brought to Elland Road despite them being the top of the Championship at the time

Rotherham will play with freedom knowing that they're safe. Though I'd still like to think our players will really step up to give Redders the send off he deserves. 2-1 Leeds. Mowatt & Morison to net his 3rd in as many games

Poor game. Anyway what do you regulars think of promotion chances next season with a few new players and a competent backroom staff/chairman? I only get down to Elland Road 3 or 4 times a season and don't watch the team outside of that.

Van Gaal is pissing me off badly so I don't wanna talk about United

Not happening. Yet again, too much instability to sustain a promotion push. Anonymous foreign manager will come in from some ****e European league and bring a **** load of mercenary deadwood in. Whilst our quality academy graduates are picked off by better teams (Byram linked with Liverpool, Cook with Villa & Newcastle, Mowatt with Liverpool & Hull). Frustrating times.

What would you say to that dickhead Redknapp coming in?

Redknapp will never manage north of London. He has & will only ever manage on the south coast or in London.
