Quote: Zig "If there was 1500 Leeds fans then I will show my Harris on King Street. You are right to point out the need for segregation though, there was one fat lad wearing green from Leeds who was after trouble all night but a little old lady sorted him out.'"


This post seems to be getting ignored. There was a point where around 20 Leeds fans ran half way down the stand to try and square up with a group of Wigan fans. They also seemed to have ongoing arguments and attempts to swuare up with a couple of other groups of fans too. All i can say is that it's a good job these lads where all bark and no bite because the stewards would have had no chance of stopping anything from happening.

I do think it is wrong of the club to mix fans up in a stand like that, especially after what was seen last night.

Quote: moto748 "Struck me last night that we attacked the South Stand end first half last night. I can barely recall this happening before. So presumably Leeds won the toss? I don't understand why other away teams don't have the same policy, because the way it normally works suggests that when opposing teams win the toss (presumably about 50% of the time), they effectively do what Wigan would have done anyway. If I was an away team skipper, I'd rather have Wigan running towards their own fans in the first half than in the second.'"


Think the amount of points we stuck on them in the second half makes it a bit of an irrelevance.

Quote: Jukesays "No way 80/20

Possibly 50/50

You're right, there should be no issues putting any fans in any stands so there is no need to say its needless, because we could say its needless to let Leeds fans into the west terrace when theres 3 half empty stands at your place (yes I can see a couole of barbed digs at Wigan in your post. We were goading Leeds fans, we were mouthing off at Leeds women and children, but nothing the ither way???).'"


Leeds used to be a big team and bring a good following those days have gone. Hopefully, they will reinvent themselves because we need a good Leeds team in the competition. For a big city team they are very poorly run. I still disagree on a 50/50 split, when the majority legged it with 10/15 minutes to go there were still plenty of fans cheering on the home favourites.

Bradford in their pomp used to fill the North Stand, Leeds very rarely.

Far sum unowned reason Huddersfield does the same if they win the toss.

Leeds away following has always been pretty poor, certainly in ratio terms to their home support. I've always wondered why but it's impossible to work out.
