Funny thing is we actually outplayed you for half hour at least which is scary for you cos we are proper ****
yer Luton,Oxford,and Bradford said the same.5,000 fans down already on average aren't you ? that's what happened to Doncaster,next step is owner realising you'll never make a big club or the live within your income rule and its Halifax here you come. we've already played 3 clubs better than hull so its not like your going anywhere.
Well there are only 3 clubs better than us in the league at the minute. Hull is a big city easily able to maintain a good Premier League side. Judging on those comments I'm guessing you know very little about our owners. We shall see shan't we, I think there's a far greater chance of Warnock walking soon, Bates not selling, possibly dying, one of his 5 kids taking over and continuing to not invest. Our drop in attendances are a result of lack of goals in recent years as well as economic struggle and ticket price increases. However, we'll be in around the 18,000-21,000 with the football we're playing at the moment. I'd be more worried about your lot getting under 20,000 and a completely dead atmosphere even when leading in a game if I were you.
I'd already forgotten about it and I'm busy looking forward to a difficult game at Leicester. It's always difficult playing Leeds too. I'd have been happy with 2 points from our games this week.
A whole host of reasons. Poor spending and poor tactics are 2 biggies. Leeds is easily big enough to sustain a good top flight club, I would never suggest you weren't simply because you were relegated (twice).
Tell me something i don't know, we even went on to win a few trophies whilst we were at it. once the cancer is removed from our club we will head back to were we believe we belong, of that i have no doubt.
You may believe you belong there but only if you are a thick deluded Leeds fan. You don't deserve to be in the Premier League any more than Barnet, Accrington, Crawley or any other club for that matter. It's arrogance like that, that makes Leeds' downfall so amusing to the neutral.

But if it continues to wind up the small club mentality fans then even better. Happy days MOT
Who said anything about deserving to be in the prem thick **** its not just Leeds fans who say we belong there, funny though, i never hear that said about Dull City, wonder why
****ing hell if you got someone like Ken Bates in charge you'd probably only have 2 fans turning up. I'm personally not worried. The less fans turn up the more likely Ken Bates is too **** off. Then we'll be back to 30,000 full roaring stadium. Hull fans need to remember in god knows how many years Leeds will be back to the Premier League with a good team and Hull will be back in the lower leagues. These days will just be a blip on our two's histories, a time when Leeds were **** and Hull were great (for their standards) and they were still both equal (overall). History is a repeating circle. The next generation will look in disbelief just like the previous one have at how things turned out. Enjoy these years. Btw Love the way Hull fans think their going to win promotion....haha your like last seasons Brighton, start off really well everyone thinks their going to get promoted and then bottles it 1/4 or 1/2 way in to the season before settling for play off failure or mid table.
It ain't us who say it (well apart from the odd couple of oldies who remember a time when money didn't dominate football). It's the Arsenals, Villas, Newcastles, Evertons ect that miss the atmosphere and excitement of playing Leeds. Hell i've even heard Man U fans who want us back up. The amount of teams that have their highest attendance playing at home against us (something around about 11 teams) shows that fans want to see their team play us.
Ask any premiership footie fan would the premiership be better with Leeds and their fans and they say yes. Ask them about Hull and you'll get a laugh
This is getting childish now. Let's see if I can help. Hull city will NEVER be able to command 40-50,000 per game because they are simply not a big club. The owners had a pop at making money in the Prem and failed, and now they are realising that the Championship will drain your cash and potentially bankrupt you if you stay in it long enough, because Hull's support can't sustain high wages. Leeds may not be a TOP club, but it is a BIG club with massive support, and once Bates is gone the protestors will flood back and the club will prosper again. We all know Leeds will get back to the Prem eventually, and stay there. We all know Hull have no potential to become a big club and eventually will end up in the bottom two divisions. This is not me trying to be nasty, but simply being realistic. These insignificant results while Bates is chairman really don't bother me, its what we do once Bates is gone that's important. Hull fans should be celebrating any win you get, no matter who its against, because it means you have a chance of avoiding relegation. Don't make stupid comments like three years ago you took three points off Arsenal, what good did that do you? Oh, of course, silly me...you would rather take a win against Arsenal over relegation any day. That's why Hull will forever remain a small club.
So many comments, so much utter bollocks. Keep believing it though Leeds, how many years of not being in the top flight will it take until you start to realise you're not a big club? Some things you've stated are just wrong, e.g. our owners sacked Barmby because he asked for money to spend, wrong, our owners got rid of Barmby as they didn't trust him like they do Bruce. Hence why we've heavily invested under Bruce. Hull could never sustain 40,000-50,000 crowds, when we already have in yesteryear. Our owners tried to make money in the Prem and our now realising teh Championship will drain the club. Utter ****e, we have different owners now to the one's we did in teh Prem, if they're realising that how come we've just spent £2.6 million and brought in a fair few players on decent wages. It would take us bringing in about 40 Bullards to drain our owners resources. I never made a comment regarding the win at the Emirates, but, for the record, it was 4 years ago and we didn't get relegated that season. I think if either of our clubs should be concerned with relegation it is you lot, we shall be far more concerned with the top 2.
Once success comes your way the crowds start to turn up. It's happened for every club, including yoursleves. We'll not get 40K every week, i accept this, but i think we could get near enough 30K. I didn't expect to get 20K in the bottom division, but we did. Of course it all depends if the side is successful and we cash in on it, & agree with the black & whites to expand the ground. You may call us "tinpot", a club with no history and so on- we have history in the game it's just not prestigious. The old "you'll be back in the lower leagues" stuff doesn't wash as we've been in this division longer than any other league. There's alot of similarities between the clubs- we've both been done over criminals- you with Bates, us with Hinchcliffe, Lloyd, Buchanan etc and it's hindered us. We've recovered from it and no doubt you lot will and all. I don't see it as a rivalry, by the way.
