Agreed. Leeds fans are reet twats.

He could well have had “LOVE” tattooed on his knuckles...Sounds very romantic.
Worst set of fans, in my experience
Was that when our fans ran on the pitch and then ran away?
Yeah, I was at that game. They invaded the pitch twice! I think they came back from 3-1 to draw with two late goals. Rod Wallace springs to mind. Some Leeds 'fans' got in to the row behind me and one of them knocked me on the back of the head and claimed it was an accident!I remember the Leeds fans running onto the pitch at Highfield Road, when we played them last game of the season.
The problem is caused by those that decide it’s ok to sit anywhere. Sit in your assigned seats and there’s no problem.Dare I say our League 2 season was the first and only one where I felt intimidated by our own fans. People squaring up to my missus to get us to move out of seats we’d paid for even at home games when the play offs were getting close. Away games similar stuff people just acting like total knobs and not how it’s been before or after.

That was my experience too Clint...could only see about the top 10% of the pitch...just about saw the last bit of Cyril's run, when he scored, and saw very little else all game...was buffeted around, lost my mate in the crowd, and it was actually a very scary experience at the time.Hillsborough in the quarter finals. I'm not small and I was getting tossed around like a rag doll. Crazy to think what happened there a few years later.
Yes, 5 of us went over and got ambushed by a hefty Baggies lot on the way out. Couple of us took a few right hooks but managed to escape into some near side streets. Just when we thought the coast was clear and we were on our way back to the motor, another mob of about 20 or so came round the corner and as there was only 2 of us we were about to accept the inevitable when suddenly from the back of the mob someone yelled-Me and my old man got chased by a West Brom mob after we had won an FA cup replay at the Hawthorns in the 90's, luckily we were both fast runners.
I sat on the front row of the upper tier for that game and recall fans being pulled up from the crowd below. That was a tragedy waiting to happen unfortunately. As a youngster I used to enjoy the thrill of swaying in a big crowd but looking back now I’m so glad that most grounds are so much safer being all seater.Hillsborough was standing. The organisation was appalling
I remember being caught in a shitload of trouble on swan lane, king richard street etc circa 2002 against Sheffield United?
I was only 12 walking there with the old dear and it was going off left right. Swear it was the first game of the season
Yeah remember that!I remember being caught in a shitload of trouble on swan lane, king richard street etc circa 2002 against Sheffield United?

Who at, our players ?Did a wanker sign at Upton Park in the mid to late 00s when we lost 3-0, that was good fun...
Missed out the important part haha...it was at their main stain outside of the ground as we were walking to the tubeWho at, our players ?

1970's Birmingham, Leicester, Derby, Stoke and West Ham away never seemed to be without incident.
Worst experience at Highfield Road wasnt Leeds or Portsmouth... but Millwall FA Cup Jan 77
And just to add, that’s what happened when we lost, god knows what it would have been like if we had won.2 scary games for me. 1980 Watford away in LC QF. Out coach like many others delayed in traffic, got there 30 mins before KO the same time as a football special train. Must have been over a thousand fans crushed in a narrow passage way trying to access half a dozen turnstiles. As a 15 yo I was seriously scared as more and more fans kept arriving. Eventually the exit gates were broken down to relieve the crush although the police still tried to stop everyone getting in.
Then same season same competition at Upton Park. That was a really nasty night, fighting in our end all game and outside after. Coaches let go about 20 at a time unescorted. Needless to say they were all attacked. Brick hit window where my mate and I were but thankfully window didn’t smash, but plenty of others weren’t so lucky. Have hated their fans especially the celebrity ones ever since.

You’re spot on there which is a shame really because our team of the 77’ to 79’ era was the one I’ve enjoyed watching the most.It wasnt a particulary good time to enjoy football in the 70's. A lot of the hooligan stuff was a pain in the arse.
