AvfcTheObsession Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 Newcastle only took 800 to Liverpool last night. In their defence it was around £50 a ticket and on Sky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Rev Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 I've got a soft spot for Leeds. Got family up there (where Moortown meets Roundhay if you know the city) and my daughter was born in Leeds. My sister in law lives there, her eldest is 14 and the middle one is 11 and sports mad, they come from a family where the dad is a Liverpool fan (from Solihull, grew up in the 1970s...) and the grandparents are mad keen Manchester United fans who moved to Solihull from Salford in the 1970s but unlike most Brummie reds actually talk with a Manchester accent. The kids, to their immense credit, both support Leeds despite growing up at one of the worst times in Leeds entire history. Leeds are still a huge club, I'd still put them on a par with the likes of us, Everton and Newcastle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I've lived in Leeds all my adult life, my kids were born and raised here, and TBH, although it's not where I'm 'from' (I'll always consider myself a Brummie), it's definitely more home than Birmingham is now. But... I have no soft spot for Leeds United whatsoever. In fact I detest them, with a loathing rivalling that for small heath. May they rot in the lower leagues forever. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This, but change "Leeds" for the "North East", and "Leeds United" for "Newcastle United". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dont_do_it_doug. Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 I absolutely love that Leeds are suffering. Putrid club. I hope they come up one day and go straight back down with the lowest point total ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose it depends on what you think of when you think of Leeds. I've only been to Elland Road a couple of times, boxing day both years I think and we won one and drew the other. Didn't find Leeds fans particularly offensive on either occasion, maybe they are nicer at Christmas or something. Beyond that the first thing I associate with Leeds United are my two nieces who are both lovely people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha...I hated Leeds too, they always seemed like such a scummy club. Didn't help that they had players like Lee Bowyer and Alan Smith in their ranks either. I'd be happy never to see them again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
