Delboy Dave Posted 4 January, 2014 Posted 4 January, 2014 I didn't think it was great today. Then I saw this from Rochdale Vs Leeds. Wtf?! http://lockerdome.com/6169470909558849/6240420984274708
Dr Who? Posted 4 January, 2014 Posted 4 January, 2014 Good, been there before and wondered what the hell the a Saints team had been doing! Sometimes you feel you have wasted your time effort and money!
Dr Who? Posted 4 January, 2014 Posted 4 January, 2014 Bet their support was fantastic durning the game though.
Turkish Posted 4 January, 2014 Posted 4 January, 2014 Damn right too. Leeds fans sell out the away end all over the country, one of the best travelling supports in the land. Apparently leeds were beyond awful today, too right the players should get it with both barrells.
Delboy Dave Posted 4 January, 2014 Author Posted 4 January, 2014 I guess sometimes it's not out of order. When I don't sell enough gear down the market, Raquelle gives me a right bollocking, and rightly so. There's players ain't gods!
Mowgli Posted 4 January, 2014 Posted 4 January, 2014 Leeds are not having a bad season at all and handily placed for a run in to the playoffs. I'm sure they would prefer that to a cup run. Still, you can take the fan out of Leeds. But..... As for our support. I was impressed today. Only expected abou 10k and they made a fair bit of noise. Saints put a decent side out and treated the competition with respect. No complaints at all.
Jonnyboy Posted 5 January, 2014 Posted 5 January, 2014 But all the know it alls on here said McDermott was far better than Adkins and would be a future England manager!
ant Posted 5 January, 2014 Posted 5 January, 2014 Shows some passion (or rather pain) from the Leeds lot I suppose. St. Mary's was moribund today.
DuncanRG Posted 5 January, 2014 Posted 5 January, 2014 Leeds fans are clowns. Unfortunately clowns tend to sing loudest at the football. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
adrian lord Posted 5 January, 2014 Posted 5 January, 2014 Leeds are a sleeping giant. They are sorely missed in the top flight by many of us. A key thing about Leeds' support is that it is very large, very solid, global in reach yet not at all plastic. The club, with ££ behind it and a refurbished/new stadium would have all the key structural ingredients of a top 4 outfit once promoted.

Leeds are a big club but a million miles away from City, Chelsea, United, Liverpool and Arsenal and Spurs,about the same size as Villa, Everton and Newcastle.
Window Cleaner Posted 5 January, 2014 Posted 5 January, 2014 I didn't think it was great today. well to be honest there wasn't all that much of it; Must have been a bit over 13000 Saints fans there, all the rest are spent out or just don't go to cup games any more. Mind you the OS wittering on about possible starts for Reed and Gallagher didn't really help sell tickets at 20£ each.
Wes Tender Posted 5 January, 2014 Posted 5 January, 2014 Leeds are a big club but a million miles away from City, Chelsea, United, Liverpool and Arsenal and Spurs,about the same size as Villa, Everton and Newcastle. You obviously missed the caveats that adrian lord added, that they needed the money behind them and a refurbished/new stadium. The other clubs you mention are awash with dosh and the success that has brought them attracts the large following of plastics that perpetuate their success. Leeds had a top four history in comparatively recent times and if they had the resources, there is no particular reason why they couldn't be there again.
ericb Posted 5 January, 2014 Posted 5 January, 2014 Leeds are a big club but a million miles away from City, Chelsea, United, Liverpool and Arsenal and Spurs,about the same size as Villa, Everton and Newcastle. Maybe in terms of money, but in terms of size of support, history, etc. i'd say they're bigger than City and Chelsea and arguably on a par with Spurs & Arsenal. They're a huge club if we're honest and as much as i hate the fu.ckers i have a huge amount of respect for their support. Their away support is immense and really only bettered by United in my opinion. Also as Adrian says they're not plastic, you don't tend to see many joker hat, facepaint wearing dins in amongst them.

alehouseboys Posted 11 January, 2014 Posted 11 January, 2014 Just started to watch a live Aussie match for the first time on BT Sport, didn't expect too much but bit surprised. Looks like a Sydney 'derby' but cracking atmosphere, entire ground has been bouncing up and down, Looks and sounds like a game in Turkey!. Full stadium and decent away support, is it always like this?

Think a lot of the football supporters in Oz come from the Greek, Yugoslav etc communities and have adopted that kind of support for watching football over there.
alehouseboys Posted 11 January, 2014 Posted 11 January, 2014 Think you're right...we should get a few more eastern Europeans over here....................................
