Quote: ThePrinter "You don’t like us because of the success we’ve had over the years, simple as. Sports fans hate teams that pick up silverware because they’re jealous it’s not their club.'"

Is that why the "other" Leeds team are so hated?

RL & football, the rest of the country dislike Leeds. As a football fan & Wakefield watcher I've always thought that Leeds supporters of both sports are unbearably arrogant.

I'm told that it's a very nice city, but I've no desire to ever visit due to my perception of Leeds fans!

A very pointless and increasingly silly and unpleasant debate going on here. I'm a Wakefield Trinity and Leeds United supporter. Am I arrogant and overbearing or nice and well adjusted depending on who I'm supporting that day?As a club Trinity are developing links with Leeds United that may be very helpful. There are a lot of Trinity fans who support Leeds United, so you are on a sticky wicket here.
I have or have had a number of issues with Leeds RL but don't hate them and do wish them well. Said issues; using the Leeds United song, their wretched drum and trumpet band and, more so the past, nicking or trying to nick our best players. And as a Leeds United fan, I can assure you, mine and most Leeds fans have had their expectations well adjusted over the last 15 years. The hatred you spout is just a convenient outlet to spout prejudice.

Quote: ThePrinter "Give over pretending as if being a Wakefield fan is some sort of unique experience in sport. Only have to look at the constant dramas, struggles and kicks in the teeth Leeds United have had to see how silly that argument is. Every team sport where one or two teams dominate for a while you get rival fans who love it when they stop....rugby league is zero different in that regard.'"


Its the same with Leeds United fans.
Giving it billy big you know whats with every other teams' fans in Yorkshire - proclaiming to be the "biggest team" and yet havent won anything [ior [/ibeen in the Prem for years.
And dont say that "this is their year" as they aren't there yet.
It boils down to - It must be a Leeds thing......

Personally I think mods should close this down now. It's a rugby league forum.

Printer on one again with his view of 'sets of fans' as a homogenous hive mind who all share the same brain? He's been at this for years - and it's just as boring (and false) now as it always has been.

I was supporting Bradford this weekend because of the underdog tag, and the JK cup magic narrative; in the end though, Bradford won it because they thoroughly deserved to - they showed more skill, fitness, heart and determination than an embarrassingly awful Leeds side, who stank the place out. Did I enjoy it a bit more because it was Leeds? For sure - largely because of the history of Leeds fans like Printer winding us up for many years.

I'm getting bored now.
Bradford won. We all enjoyed it. We don't have to explain why.
The Leeds fan didn't. He just has to live with it or let it go.
Nothing more to say.
