Nope. it seems to confuse some, but it's quite simple. If you've picked a team you've no connection to, you've missed the point of being a football supporter. It doesn't have to be your local team if you've strong family connections to a club, but you don't choose a football club, it's gifted to you at birth. The ones who argue against this point tend generally to be the plastics/band waggoners.
**** your a thick twat,that's the away fans part of the west stand obviously you've never been plastic.
LOL, it's off an article on a Leeds website and used as an example to the point they're making about the worrying drop in attendances, so they seem to think it's a sign of fickle leeds fans. I seem to recall being behind the goal or in that triangle thingy at Elland Road? I must confess it's not one of the games looked for when the fixtures come out so the visits were soon forgotten. Repeated in the next post too, but what the ****. PS. The game in the empty seat pictures is v Boro August 2011. Obviously I'll stand corrected, but it looks suspiciously like away fans didn't move over to the west stand until the Portsmouth game in the September. There are some people in there, so I guess seats were on sale and this would have been to home fans. So it looks like leeds plastics on tour.

I was there this season and that's not where we were sat. Nor did we sit there last season. Would anyone who's actually from Leeds and regularly goes to Elland Road like to clarify?
Here is the explanation. I was 9 years old on 1970 when I began supporting Leeds. All we had in those days in terms of footie was an hour of match od the day every saturday night on a black and white tv. Every kid looked forward to that and that hours football highlights would form a big part of school banter for the following week. Match of the day in those days, would feature two main matches, about ten minutes highlights from each and then the goals from the rest. Really the top five or six teams is all you got to see much of so invariably most kids wound up supporting one of the top half dozen in that era. Different times you know. You looked for and explanation so whats so wrong with me supporting Leeds all my life, also my dad and my daughters
Cunningly disguised in Boro shirts? According to Leeds web sites, it didn't become the away section until the following month at the request of the manager.
Alternatively, you could have supported Athlone Town and actually gone to watch a football match every week.
Thing is though pal when you support your home town club and get mocked for it by supporters of so called bigger clubs who aren't even from that city it just gets on your tits. Dull this and dull that. Show a bit of respect and you get some back. Act like billy big bollocks and you can't moan when things get said that upset you, like being called a plastic. End of the day it's only a game and I genuinely bare no malice to anyone regarding what team they support. That said I'm not going to let anyone rip the piss out of me or the team I follow.
Not wishing to bang on about this but comments such as calling us a Mickey Mouse club just proves my point. At least we support our 'Mickey Mouse' club and not some club from 300 miles away and in another country. Here endeth the lesson.
Did watch Athlone Town quite a bit. Still go to the odd game. Amateur sport here with about 200 at a home game. Any half decent players still head across the water to try make a full time living. Standard poor to be honest. Just never managed to stir any kind of excitement in me
