I voted mediocre. Could have been a LOT louder considering the numbers, but they did have a few good replies. "We saw you crying on the telly!" "You've never been on the telly!"  In all fairness though, how many more Leeds threads can we have. |

"oi malc where's the CREDIT TO THEIR CLUB button" I like to keep my polls grounded in reality. If you replace Credit with Debit then you may have a point.  |

To be fair, they didn't have much to cheer about did they? I'm sure if they had been winning 10-0, like they expected to when they came, then they would have had a little sing song to celebrate. It must be hard being absolutely massive and former 'not champions and europe' and then to keep getting beaten by insect sized clubs. L666ds fans are a bit like an anorexic looking in the mirror and seeing this really fat person, L666ds fans still think they are watching a massive huge team, when really they are just another third division club.

Elland Road has turned into a library and is no longer an intimidating place to visit and our away support is inconsistant, sometimes very vocal to the point of taking over the ground as at Walsall, and sometimes strangely subdued as at the Galpharm. |

I'd agree that the atmosphere at Elland Road has decreased dramatically, even since last season, but to say stuff like "we couldn't hear you" and "150 Hartlepool fans made more noise than 4,000 Leeds fans" is a joke. |

The 150 Hartlepool fans who travelled down in the god-awful snowy conditions for the Tuesday night game sang much more than you did. While they may not have been as loud as the odd occasion when most of your 4000 joined in, over the 90 they were far more impressive. |

They should have done, it was much nicer weather on Saturday, whereas the Hartlepool fans drove 2-3 hours and froze their tits off. You weren't terrible, but considering there were close to 4000 it was a big disappointment. |

That's kind of the idea of good support.... You sing whatever is happening on the pitch, and whatever the circumstances, not just when you are winning... |

So why bother turning up at all then? You haven't a clue about the real football world have you?

If you were used to playing the likes of Barcelona and AC Milan and then still paid over £500 for a season ticket in League One and travelled almost 400 miles every other week to watch your team fail to beat the likes of Rotherham and Walsall I'm sure you'd understand. |

Apart from paying that higher price financially the point I am making is that we have been doing exactly that for 30 odd years. Welcome to the real world. |

Like others I'm gradually becoming acclimatised, but hopefully I won't need to. |

Hmm , back to topic i'd say they were mediocre. They were pretty good until clarke headed home and from then on pretty poor. Liked the whole  swinging session though. |
