I would love nothing more than to see Gerrard failI can't stand Gerrard!
I feel like I am the only person here who is (their club) Leeds or nothing. Every other club, player, manager is dead to me, I can't imagine ever wishing anyone else success unless they were Leeds.
When I was about 4 my dad told me we never wear red, better dead than red and so on so it started from a young age!
Leeds fans are pretty hardcore, I know from living in Leeds for a number of years. I’ve known them to start on other fans if they felt they weren’t supporting visibly/loudly enough.I can't stand Gerrard!

The statues outside are Don and Bremner, you'd be hard pressed to find two people who were more Leeds than them.Leeds fans are pretty hardcore, I know from living in Leeds for a number of years. I’ve known them to start on other fans if they felt they weren’t supporting visibly/loudly enough.
Would you not remember a player fondly once they’d left though? You have statues outside Elland Road of former players/manager.
I only follow one team but obviously want whoever is playing against Ipswich to win
I’m going to Leeds next week for Leeds vs Palace as my boyfriend is a Palace fan, I’ve never been to Elland Road as had to miss us (Everton) playing there as my sister in law was pregnant and needed support, which I was gutted to miss but I’m really looking forward to ticking it off my list. My boyfriend wants to get there early so we can walk round the ground and see the statues you’re referring to. Can imagine it to feel like a proper ground like Everton, Villa, Palace are - none of this bowl malarkeyThe statues outside are Don and Bremner, you'd be hard pressed to find two people who were more Leeds than them.
I was just trying to think of players I think fondly off once they have left and there are very few. To me / us you're either Leeds or you're not. I guess the tribalism runs deep.
There are so few proper stadiums left in the higher leagues. Elland Road might be old and rough around the edges but all the history is still there. They are planning to redevelop the stadium but one if the key things they are working on is to keep it four stands.I’m going to Leeds next week for Leeds vs Palace as my boyfriend is a Palace fan, I’ve never been to Elland Road as had to miss us (Everton) playing there as my sister in law was pregnant and needed support, which I was gutted to miss but I’m really looking forward to ticking it off my list.

Yeah very very few! I’m at Brentford on Sunday n i’m gutted they’re not in their old stadium as would have loved to have gone there.

Stadiums like Spurs/Arsenal etc are ok from a happy clappy nice day out point of view but they are nondescript in real football.
Enjoy Leeds!
Went to watch my team play Aldershot last week - they still have cars parked behind the goal which you can see through the away stand. It is a proper, proper dump and being a fan of a non league team, I have been to some tinpot shitholes I can tell you!I like watching The Big Match revisited on itv4, mainly for the old grounds..especially Chelsea, with the cars behind the goal!
That reminded me of a few seasons ago Leeds tried to change our badge. The new one was hideous and after a few days of backlash from the fans they assumed they had made a mistake and ditched the new one. Don't fix something that isn't broken!Speaking of history, rumours are that Norwich are announcing a new club badge at 6pm
Eta - It might be being beamed onto the castle! @levitating and @Clickbait
I’m not sure how I feel about this… I have seen a couple of mock-ups and wasn’t keen. I guess they’ll be having a massive clear out from the club shop given almost everything has the badge on it!

that’s quite a nice new badge I think!I'd never quite clocked how god awful the lion is on our current badge until everyone's been zooming in on every part
Ah here's the castle shot!
Oh noooo@levitating I don't mind it..thought it was going to much worse! Although my husband isn't happy as he has a tattoo of the badge on his shoulder
