Harpers So Solid Crew Over the years Leeds fans have been more vocal and passionate about their club, then again they live in a big city, have many local rivals and played in the top league for a long time, passion is fine, but thuggery and unpleasantness that they exude is not very nice.
They do? Sheffied is like 35 miles away, Doncaster the same and not really deemed a local rival. Same for Barnsley.
No different to Reading having Watford, QPR and London teams around us. What's our excuse...?
Regarding thuggary and other such unpleasantries. I clocked a number of Leeds games when I lived up there. Saw no trouble what so ever, even against Cardiff and Millwall, and I was expecting some. The fans aren't as thuggish as made out. But what you do get is pride and passion every week. It seems to mean more to them than, say, us. Our support is so unbelievably nice, it's actually too pleasant.
