I will never forget that day!!! For all the wrong reasons but it dosent half make you appreciate the good times Tell me about it! Smashing them 4-1 in Wagner's first game against them more than equaled that one out for me personally And Town didn't play particularly well that day, as David Wagner pointed out in his after match comments, just to subtly rub it in a bit more. |

No it isn't though. I work here, their presence is hardly seen in the city centre, much lower profile than Town fans in Hudds. Presumably you see the Town shirts in Hudds at a weekend mainly if you work in Leeds? Maybe at the weekend there’s more Leeds shirts on show, given that’s when people are likely to have footy on their mind?? I doubt people who work in Hudds would notice many Town shirts in town at 2pm on a Thursday afternoon. Might also be why someone posted about Rhinos...maybe just cos they’re more likely to be worn cos of a Friday evening game?? I think I see quite a few Rhinos shirts around Hudds too?? (I’m only really in Hudds at a weekend, maybe they’re wearing them after a Friday night victory when they’re feeling proud?). Someone at school should do a study, instead of counting cars. Believe it or not I do go to Huddersfield on non match days. |

Scarborough pub is decent but avoid on hold games , big home pub. But we went in it the day we thrashed them two years ago. We didn't wear colours mind. Been done up a bit that end of town now. Full of modern bars and the like. Used to be Spencer's and prince of wales next door to the Scarborough that were a bit rough and ready if Leeds were at home Whatever you think of the football club the city centre is a great place to work and has excellent pubs, restaurants etc. Dont know about shops, I don't do shopping unless I really have to |

1979 I think it was. Looking out of my office window on Albion Street and an old guy on a bench outside Boots was swigging away on a big bottle of Faberge Brut (children it was cheap shit, but at the time trendy) aftershave. Must have just lifted it from the chemists.
You know I've completely forgotten why typed this.

This was when the season hadn't even started. |

I don't disagree that it would be great to revitalise the Town C in Huddersfield as it is a mess in so many places...
But unless you've been sleeping for the last 30 yrs we sit slap bang between Manchester & (Sheffield) obviously meant this to say Leeds... Both on main line routes that traverse the country N/S, are major Cities who have had shed loads of cash for regeneration (comparatively speaking in regards to the South & also acknowledging the re-building of the Arndale after the IRA bomb). I even think Sheffield struggles vs those two as well...
It's hardly surprising Towns like ours are struggling - though I don't believe KMC work hard enough to promote or improve what we've got with what they get given... They'd rather spunk millions on shipping some granite half way round the planet etc... I'm sure there are some good people in there trying to do good stuff & make the money go a little farther, but the fact is, we are poor relations to some major Cities that are, in real terms, right on our doorstep. I'm not sure, but it might be that Bolton shares similar issues with it's proximity to Manchester?
I love my home town, but we live in times of austerity & we've never been a place where the new business sectors will invest in (for reasons above, rail links, big city lifestyles etc.). Huddersfield was built on industry, that plays a massive second fiddle to the Svc Sector nowadays...
I still hope Leeds lose their next 5 games BTW, then the 5 games after that etc. etc...

Leeds centre and general outlay is decent for shopping and a coffee, Just spoiled By Hundreds of morons walking about with the scum badge on clothing. No it isn't though. I work here, their presence is hardly seen in the city centre, much lower profile than Town fans in Hudds. 'Multiculturalism'. I've studied, worked and lived here for 15 years now and you're right The Chesty's have a very low profile in the City. There are a lot of jobs in Leeds which sees a lot of people migrating into the City to either work or study, and because of the good night life and job prospects people stay here after completing degrees. Due to their reputation and fans being generally the biggest bunch of dickheads you'll come across in England, Leeds are a very difficult club to get on board with so get little to no support from those coming into the City. However, if for some reason you want to see a load of mouth frothing Chesty's go somewhere which hasn't benefited from the urban regeneration like Hunslet. Morrisons at Hunslet on a Sunday if you dare - it's like a scene from the walking dead. All traipsing the aisles arms outstretched dragging a club foot behind them as they walk. A place to avoid. |

Briefly putting aside football rivalries, have you had the pleasure to pass through Piccadilly Gardens in Manchester recently?  What on earth has happened to that part of what is undoubtedly a thriving city? Or is the chav underclass slowly taking over the world? |

Leeds have a very large casual scene so you can't judge support on amount of replica shirts you see.
Can't say I ever wear a replica shirt on non matchdays either.

But the amount of beggars and homeless People at the moment appears to be getting worse. I saw two of them cuddled up together under a scruffy duvet thing under the arches yesterday morning. They were fast asleep and looked quite happy. That is I am sure until they woke up. Heartbreaking but there is support mechanisms there but many seem to shun them?. |

I remember getting the bus in to Town as a Lad, Huddersfield and New street in particular were great. The record shop a favourite. New street now?. It's really sad. On a plus point, I never tire of getting off the train and walking out of Huddersfield station. Then walk a bit and look back at the station itself. Need to do something with the George Hotel though. |

The support mechanisms that once existed have been eroded over many years hence the reason why we have an increase in people who sleep rough. Sadly many are addicted to substances or have serious mental health issues and because we have also seen a reduction in such services, people do not receive the care and treatment they require. Anyway back to football, always happy to see Leeds in a bit of strife, though this year something seems a little different, they look a good side. |

The station and facade is the only decent bit IMO, looks nice, lots of history and nice farmers blonde and barmaid ! In the jimmy Hendrix pub in the corner. |

It is becoming an increasingly large and vibrant city, it caters for all tastes and will just get bigger. Rivalry aside Yorkshire needs more teams in the premier league, but also those who can not only survive but strive. It hurts to say this but Leeds and possibly the Sheffield sides are the only ones who can do this. Huddersfield like Bradford are becoming more and more suburbs of Leeds as it expands and big businesses move in. Hopefully on the back of this investment comes to the region and improves Huddersfield because it needs it. Anyway lets enjoy this year, concentrate on our team and forget about the rest, hopefully we can survive and then who knows but it is a big ask. I don't want to go back to the days of every other post being about Leeds and Sheffield

Living in Leeds, the amount of beggars is alarming. You cant sit outside having a coffee without someone coming up and asking for money. T'other day, saw a homeless lass begging whilst on her mobile and having a fag, beggars belief!! |

Too fucking right. Had 50 years of being in the same area as the deluded, football illiterate, deluded, self obsessed, deluded, did I mention deluded, knuckle dragging fuckwits, lording about their imagined triumphs. So pardon me if I continue to enjoy sticking it to the deluded pricks here and anywhere else I can. Frankly I'm just as sick of the fucking liberal let's get over it lilly livered L666ds apologists on here. On this subject one little tit on the way back from Palice said 'even my dad's bored with the L666ds thing now'. His dad must be 10 and/or definitely not from anywhere near B.O.D or Cleckheckmondsidge where the rivalry is always there. Jesus, even DW hates them and he's only been here 10 minutes... ......and relax!! Is liberal the new insult these days? You mean as in.... "Don't listen to him, he's a f**kin socialist!!" ....which I thought never made ANY sense at all - it's obvious the 'bad' version is "ANTI-SOCIAL(IST)" ....more in line with 'off-topic', I know & apologize. |

Not wishing to belittle what clearly is a major issue, but it is the same few you tend to see everyday around the railway station aad Majestics . There seems to be a community around there, you get to recognise them all after a while. I 'm fairly sure I know which woman you are talking about. Point is there probably isn't as many as there appears. As I say still an issue for those that are out there. I wouldnt deny a homeless person a cig. |

I support two clubs every week, town and whoever are beating Leeds. Every one they play in my fantacys.
.
The hatred for Leeds united in Huddersfield goes back a very long time.
Leeds United only exist because our board jumped ship to resurrect the bankrupt Leeds City football club and form Leeds United
,
Town were saved by the people of Huddersfield raising the funds to keep the club here resisting the boards ambitions to take Huddersfield Town football club in its entirety to Leeds,I believe Leeds United have been hated by us Town fans ever since.
Now Bradford City is a completely different story, living in Brighouse I would say there is a demarcation line between the two set of fans. At Wyke, it is Bradford territory, very few town fans live there, there are probably lots of Leeds fans there too, the Brighouse side of the A58, Whitehall Road is mainly
Town and Leeds.
Bradford City fans hate Leeds too but for different reasons to us, for many years there were more Leeds fans in Bradford than City fans. But Bradford used to be a two football club city and the supporters of each club hated each other, when Bradford Park Avenue collapsed, most of the supporters of that club
switched allegiance to Leeds United. That's why there are so many Leeds fans in the city.
They hate us because they see a town a quarter of their size traditionally getting larger crowds, and being more successful, they are simply jealous,
Leeds support is basically shit, the biggest city in the country with just one football club, yet the % of the population of that city who support them maybe one of the smallest in the country but sadly they are also the club with the biggest number of Klingons outside the premier league.
Our support is Pretty good, but we have a large traditional catchment area for a town of our size, its due to the pre second world war success of Huddersfield town it extended to the borders of all the major city's that surround Huddersfield and in particular the Heavy woollen towns, traditional support for a
club does not disappear the Leeds fans of the heavy woollen area have always known of the deep hatred we have for Leeds United and in return hate us its natural, its the Klingon Leeds fans who are deluded and think Leeds united would in any way rivals to the Manchester clubs even if the were in the premier
league the only club other than us in the premier league who would consider them rivals would be Newcastle as they both draw support from North Yorkshire. Though no doubt every club would hate Leeds United as they are and will always be one of the two most hated football clubs in the country.
We must be one of the only clubs who can have a sing along with visiting supporters every game singing one of our favourite chants WE ALL HATE THE LEEDS SCUM.

In any aspect of life hatred stems from jealousy, and many lives get over run with jealousy and it becomes all consuming. If time was spent appreciating what you have rather than what you don't the world would be a better place, too many times I see fellow town fans more bothered as to what Leeds are doing than town, it is at times embarrassing.

What on earth has happened to that part of what is undoubtedly a thriving city?
