I think a tell tale sign of how we feel about each other is when our respective scores are announced at half time. I'm led to believe that if Leeds are losing a loud cheer goes up at the farm, whereas if town are losing not even a flicker, in fact there is often a slight cheer if you are winning, especially against a team near the top of the table. Sorry, I know you'd like it to be reciprocated but it isn't and never will be. bit like you and man utd then

We all travelled to Northampton on the back of Stevvy's weather predictions and we had a good family day out despite the cold toes. We appreciated the weather forecast and would recommend all future away day travellers to consult Stevvy and ignore him completely before you travel. ;D ;D Stevvy's a good man in all respects other than his weather predictions Don't quite know where the Leeds (or Bradford) dislike comes from since they are both Yorks teams. Rather them in our league than a pile of Yorkshire hating southerners. If it weren't for Revie, Ridsdale, Bremner, Bates, Wilkinson and most of all Richmond, I would have a soft spot for our Yorks comrades just as we have for Halihuddfax

A good dose of realism on both sides wouldn't go amiss here. Leeds are a bigger club and it's fair to say that Town fans are more bothered about them than vice versa, some obsessively so. On the other hand the days of Leeds seriously competing with the likes of Man Utd, Chelsea or Arsenal are long gone, and lets face it, are unlikely to ever return. As Paulmat says, the rivalry will probably build over the next few years.

We know we won't compete on the pitch with the likes of Man u and Chelsea again for years, if ever, but rivalry isn't dictated by league status, the only club we really "hate" is man u, and they "hate" us, being two divisions apart is not going to change that. But I have to say that at the moment, of the teams we are likely to play, Huddersfield have to be considered our biggest rivals, but I don't envisage it developing into a hatred, I don't know if that sounds arrogant, it isn't meant to, but that's how I see it.

Not having been in the Pink Link, it's difficult to judge how high the scoreboard is set above the fans from where I sit. I'd have guessed at quite a bit higher than six feet though. Our top boy is, fortunately enough, a bit of a fat fucker. Don't let him hear you say that! ;D ;D ;D

I'm assuming the Chelsea thing comes from the 70 cup final, the Man U rivalry is a modern one too isn't it? So who are your traditional rivals?

This is the beginning of the exodus that Leeds are gonna see. Leeds fans openly admitting to watching their local rivals. tut tut. Reckon they should have a 'Leeds fan amnesty' down at the galpharm, where the 'supporters' can turn up and hand in their hats, scarves and shirts etc, before purchasing a season ticket for next season, with a free town hat thrown in. Just choked on a bowl of frosties with laughter when I read that ;D Rocket v Sleby is a hell of a match if anyone else is watching it through BBC website whilst being on here news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/other_sports/snooker/7661726.stm

There are various match-fixing/bribery/corruption claims regarding Bremner.

I'm assuming the Chelsea thing comes from the 70 cup final, the Man U rivalry is a modern one too isn't it? So who are your traditional rivals? Erm, dunno really, it's a fair question, the Chelsea thing I've never really bought into, yes it stems from the 70 cup final but I don't mind them myself, the infamous battle of platform four (yes I've read the books) in 1984 where we destroyed them on their own manor (thanks Danny Dyer), didn't help matters. Man u? Well I'm not sure when it started, I think it comes from the fact that they were always the media darlings in spite of the fact that for 10 years at least Leeds were by far the better team. I think the hostilities between the two sets of fans really started in 1980 when they came to Elland road needing to win to be champions and lost 2-0, they were given the lowfields and brought 10,000 plus fans in a crowd of 40,000 and after the game there was pure carnage. Revenge, if that is the word, was sought when we went to Old Trafford 10,000 strong the following season, carnage again ensued and the seeds of a hatred were sown, all before my time though I admit and others may know better. Traditional rivals? Not sure, I suppose it was you lot.

yup,and when ipswich scored to send you down,teams in stadiums all around the country were heard cheering when they heard that news (n im not joking,alot of teams fans genuinely did cheer,because it was that amusing,hilarious,etc,because everyone hates you,because your club is basically nothing but scum.....just like your thuggish fans that enjoy causing trouble) BIG DEAL steevy let em cheer, it's part of following one of Englads biggest clubs, something you will never experiance old boy, scum this scum that change the f****n record you fool!

My summary of "super yids" Sprake---a clown who took bribes Reaney--not too bad the great George Best said he was his most difficult opponent----presumably he forgot about Dennis Clarke Cooper---nasty little git Bremner--as above even dirtier and completely over-rated Charlton---luckiest man EVER to win a world cup medal Hunter---Animal with no pace Lorimer--nasty scot who had a half decent shot but nowt else Clarke-whingeing midlander--never scored one o/s 6 yard box Jones---carthorse---retired him to Tetleys to pull dray carts Giles---one of the few players to come the other way--you have been Man Utd's feeder club but he had a decent pass but the irishman was even nastier than evil Bremner Gray--always injured--if hed have been a racehorse theyd have put im down
Squad players-- Madeley---Mr versatility which meant he couldnt play anywhere Bates----Ken ?
Revie was just a c*nt

my favourite "other" teams are Bayern Munich (1975) Sunderland )1973) Liverpool 1965 and pretty much all 60's and 70's Man U---just cos Yids hate em Chelsea--as above Ipswich----for relegating the scum
Oh and my favourite match officials are those in charge of WBA game at Bellend Rd in 1970 when the yids were mysteriously claiming offside for what appeared a perfectly good goal---put it this way I'd have allowed the goal to stand !

Revie was just a c*nt UP THE TOWN!!!!!!!!! ;D Brilliant stuff. My version..... Sprake - Very good shop stopper but his career was sadly marred by the boobs, and not nice pert French ones, but huge pendulum swinging melons. Reaney - Strangely white skinned but with suspicious afro hair, this London born hard man was, as Jimmynich alluded to, the reason old liver thief never had a good game against Leeds. Cooper - Sprightly, spring heeled left back but with a hard edge to his game, nicknamed TC due to having more than a passing resemblence to the cartoon character top cat. Bremner - "Every time Leeds concede a goal it feels like I have been stabbed through the heart" sums up this diminutive giant of a man. He also had very ginger pubes. Charlton - Old giraffe neck who kept a little black book of opponents he was going to 'put out' of the game. Ran the length of the pitch to chase a Standard Liege played who had fouled him, the player preferring to jump into the crowd rather than get caught by the big fella. Became Irish and took up fishing. Hunter - Slightly built hatchet man who made up for a lack of pace by extolling the virtues of the maxim "the ball might get past me, the player might get past me, but never both" Lorimer - Old ninety miles an hour could cross the ball like Stanley Matthews and shoot like Bobby Charlton, if only he'd been English. Now runs a pub and looks like he drinks most of the profits. Clarke - Skinny Brummie who literally passed the ball into the net, giving the ball to Clarke was like giving your sunday roast to a shark. Given the nickname sniffer in honour of his outstanding charity work with sniffer dogs. Jones - "Mick the mover of course, he can work like a horse" the hordes did cry, they were right, he now pulls ploughs on a farm in Lincolnshire. Giles - The rest of the team were hard, he was just outright nasty. Doesn't have a nickname as, as everyone knows, it's illegal to give an Irishman a nickname. Sod it I'll call him Paddy. Gray - Sir Edwin of Gray is the most skillful player ever to don the white jersey, " Eddie is the only player that when playing in the snow, doesn't leave any footprints" remarked Revie, "If he was a horse he'd have been shot" remarked Clough. Madeley - Mr versatility, nicknamed the Rolls Royce for his effortless grace. Famously appeared in every position except missionary.

A lot of hatred/dislike is how or where you grow up.
Getting into footy as a kid in the 90's in Elland, every bugger supported Leeds or Man Utd. Therefore I got into football by watching out for Liverpool on the telly. Until a friend took me to the Mac.
Still to this day despise Leeds and Man Utd (sorry Geese), but the close rivalry with Bradford makes them creep into the top three most disliked clubs for me as well.
A la Leeds v Man Utd/Chelsea, it doesn't matter a bit about the gap in divisions.
It's like if someone shagged your wife then moved to Brazil, you wouldn't forget would you?!

Good response Hull.......good point about Reaney--I was never sure if he was Albert Johannsenns half brother either.....I used to love the old scratching shed when all the vitriolic pure hatred was in the air----always felt like theyd transported our Cowshed home down the A62 -bit sanitised now at your disproportionately shaped skip stadium and our open cornered wind tunnel.
