I've had a few 'run ins' with Leeds fans including a large group starting on me and my teenage lad at a Darlo vs Leeds pre-season 'friendly'. They have an above average 'scum' following who imo thrive on their 'pathetic' reputation.
ALL clubs have yobo's looking to bring it on. Remind me again, who is number three in the EPL or four for that matter
No they don't, there are clubs where trouble is only caused by the away supporters, Fulham for example. Even if they did it doesn't mean Leeds aren't consistently a bunch of aggressive tossers looking for trouble.
It's all subjective. I remember a lot of Sunderland fans were refused to fly for being drunk and happy and Quinny coming to the rescue. Drunk and rowdy doesn't mean aggressive. Most of these will be so minor they're barely worth the statistic, where we know as fact the usual suspects who do cause real trouble, they're the ones who regularly do make the press for aggressive and threatening behaviors. Your Leeds and your Millwall and what have you, with large firms who use football as a front to fight.
Yes, ALL clubs DO have 'yobos' however only a FEW are renowned for smashing seaside towns whilst families look on in horror and picking on innocent bystanders at pre-season friendliest etc etc. Go and support Leeds marra... I'm sure they are a lovely accommodating bunch.
I'd hazard a guess that Sunderland and Newcastle have more incidents because we take more to away matches than others. It's all relative. Mind I have't read the full article, just looked at the tables.
Leeds have by far the biggest ratio of 'Chav' supporters I've ever seen, including Liverpool and Everton. They all look the same, little matchstick men in stripey Hackett jumpers with some weird velcro baseball cap covering their tiny little shaven heads.
Totally agree with this.. Living in York there's quite a few of their fans here, hard as nails in a group they think but like a lot around here, soft as ****e one on one.. I know a lot of decent Leeds fans so I'm not tarring them all..
