would that make any difference? they'll still travel in much bigger numbers, and cause trouble one way or another. scummy b***ds.

They always cause trouble at our ground, even if there was just 2000 of them. The police will try and stop ticket less fans from travelling but it's going to be next to impossible to do that, so many live in North Yorkshire in places like Whitby, Scarborough, Bridlington, Ripon etc that they will just travel in very small groups and then join up once in Boro. It's too close to the end of the season for them to be not planning something about it now.
 
I doubt most Leeds fans really think of as anything but just another team.
It's a much more one way dislike.

I'd sooner not see any other team get promoted at the Riverside though.
 
Juninhos first home match there was a big block of them in the North East Corner, they were not well received. Also last home match I went to against Leeds was the 5:30ko under Strachan, which may have been his last match, so much trouble after the match ion the road nto town, it felt comparable to anything I had seen in the 80's.
I think because they lowered their prices and gave us 2900 we might be obliged to do something similar with them.

At the juninho game MFC had allocated some tickets in the NE corner to Leeds families. Unfortunately Boro fans weren't aware and assumed they shouldn't have been there, hence some aggravation.

Odd when the stadium was a season ticket sell out.

The 5.30 saturday night game was worse than any Tees/Wear Tees/Tyne fixture i've attended at the Riverside.

We hadn't played them for a number of years following their relegation to League One

Maybe I’m just an odd anomaly but I honestly don’t care at all about this so the idea of it being unthinkable is quite funny to me. Just not arsed at all about Leeds on any level.

I feel the same way really. They do seem to have a large thuggish element to their support but generally I'm not that bothered about them.

Sunderland's different because you know that despite their protestations, a lot of their fans dislike us. Evidence is there by the way their fans behave whenever we play each other, and what they say about us on their message board.

I'd say the majority of Leeds fans aren't bothered about Boro and the only ones who probably are will be those living in Whitby/Scarborough etc.
 
I wonder if this Leeds hatred thing is generational. I’ve never been bothered by them and certainly don’t think of them as a rival anymore than the Sheffield clubs, Huddersfield, or any other Yorkshire side.
 
in the 70s The Rivalry was very real - Right up there with Sunderland and Newcastle - maybe more! Generally, they were the team to hate back then and when they got their label "Dirty Leeds" that we still use today

Goes back to the 70s/big Jack era when it was a Yorkshire Derby

Stories of us taking in the region of 10k to Elland Road with fans locked outside the ground

That game was total chaos crowd wise. Pay on the gate, 45k sell out, and loads of Boro locked out. They were getting in anywhere they could. Just before kickoff about 300 were led out from the bottom of the Gelderd end by the police!
