Indeed. I have nothing but admiration for those of you who made it and then stood on an open terrace in such appalling conditions. More power to you.

Agreed regarding the London fans with the above. Friday at 8pm is not ideal time to get
To a game in Leeds. And this is a regular occurance for them, which is a big exspense

Take my hat off to the London travelling contingent.

I repeat - there were four of them on the Western Terrace, four - not four thousand, not four hundred but four.

Make as many excuses as you want for them but to have only four away supporters is pathetic. Even if they are losing every game, even if it was a Friday night, even if it meant taking the day off work to go see them - having four supporters at an away game is inexcusable.

Remind me again what they bring to the Super League party?

Bet my left nut I've seen Leeds play in London more times than you've seen London play in Leeds.

...and you picked on the wrong bloke when it comes to watching your team away from home.

Another reason why expanding out of the heartlands is a futile exercise.

How many we're Friday nights - none. By the way I have been to every game at Leeds over at least the last 10 years - all involving taking holiday. As for 4 you probably counted that in the first half. Some of the more sensible amongst us were under cover in the Carnegie terrace and moved at half time to the Western once the rain had stopped.

Assuning you are from Leeds/the North (and aplogies if you are not) It must be a real effort to get to all those away games Cas, Wakey, Bulls - Widnes away must seem like an expedition! A lot of London fans spend as much time getting to home games as Northern fans will take to get to away games.

So looking forward to meeting you on Monday 5th August at the Stoop

I KNEW you'd be a hothead "I'm a superfan me" Leeds fan.

Being a Leeds fan is easy. It's not remote , it's not difficult, it's not a countercultural statement. It's just something you can fall into, something you can easily do socially. And you can sit back and watch the team win most games. That's not a bad thing - it's just the way it is. But what is pathetic is to call out the fans of a team who enjoy none of those luxuries, who put much more effort into supporting their team than any Leeds fan who isn't based in Timbuktu does and who enjoy many fewer moments of triumph.

The fact that so many simplistic northern s view the Broncos fans support of their team as futile just makes it even more admirable.

Superfan, Classic statements really, also love the picture, 20 mins to kick off, all the other 15 london fans in sky rack pub, with our two closet leeds rhinos players family with us, who also stood on western terrace with us.

Like paddock, i have done all these games at leeds over the years, even done pre season friendlies on a sunday in front of 3,000 people, think 2006, also did one before, way back in early 2000's as well. sub 2,000

The funny thing is, leeds fans are always alright and decent folk, so where do you get al this stupudity from, you are a individual when it comes to your way of thinking, wow suppose fat boy thinks the catalan dragons fans stink as well, such a small club really.

Surely any person, who goes RL, does not believe what you think,

Like i told a nice pair of rhino fans in Original oak after the game, what use would a Rhinos scarf be in London, its exactly the same, people do not recognize it,

we are all in this together, you know

The four I counted were there in the first and second half - their numbers didn't seem to get any larger at any point throughout the game.



..and why expansion outside the heartlands is futile.



I'll be the one in the Rhinos shirt.

First of all my admiration goes to you and your fellow supporters who made the effort but their are so few of you it makes it hard to take your club seriously.

Fulham, London Crusaders, Harlequins, London Broncos or whatever bailout name they currently hide beneath have been around for over 30 years. That’s more than enough time to accumulate a decent fan base if the sport had any credibility outside its heartlands – which it doesn’t.

Thinking that expansion is “stupidity” just blows in the face of history does it not? Name me one successful team that does not sit in the sports heartlands?
