Guest D.J.Nick1212 Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 (edited) I know all about history and they have won the premier league and things like that but why can they pinch players out of our grasps? Why do they seem to be on telly as much as Man Utd? Are they really that big or that good? Do they really have that much money? It just pi55es me off so much about them! We all hate Leeds don't we?

Lincs Owl Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Leeds have never won the Premier League. They won the league in 91-2. Prem began in 92-3. They are on telly more than us because of a TV conspiracy. They are on telly now at QPR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sham67 Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Bigger fan base. More recent success in the league. Apart from that, can't think of owt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Groundhopping Owl Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Oh I dunno, how about that european cup final they were in or the league title they won 20 years ago, or the champions league semi final they were in while we were busy struggling in the championship? Leeds are bigger than us (in the eyes of the neutral) the same way forest are. Like it or not leeds is the main city in yorkshire and therefore attracts all the investment. The whole reason sheffield is going nowhere as a city is because we constantly sit in leeds' shadow. Though derby county may be a more interesting debate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmw Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 (edited) They have more fans, here and abroad. Much higher revenue because of their merchandising and other commercial activities. Better known internationally because of the great teams of the past, thinking back to the Bremner/Clarke/Hunter/Lorimer et al era. And at the moment they are more cash rich than we are, and more likely to move up to Prem in next few years than we are. People have made films about Don Revie vs Brian Clough. When they start making films about we'll know we are up there with them. Edited March 1, 2014 by dmw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ash77 Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 1 team in city, if it weren't for pigs forming after us we'd be a similar size to manchester clubs/newcastle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hypnosisman Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Bigger fan base. More recent success in the league. Apart from that, can't think of owt. If Wednesday had this much success in winning the title in recent years our support would have swelled considerably. Winners (3) 1968–69, 1973–74, 1991–92 Runners Up (5) 1964–65, 1965–66, 1969– 70, 1970–71, 1971–72 Leeds isn't bigger than Sheffield, Leeds city is much smaller than the metropolitan borough, they used to say Leeds has a population of 750K. If you added any where from Worksop to Sheffield, you are talking of a million people, which is how their borough works. Whereas Sheffield city has a population of 560K and two football clubs to support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shrewsburyowl Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 They are a bigger club than us fan base and recent achievement wise, but I do thing we are a lot more similar as clubs than most would admit. As far as rivalry goes....well I don't understand why they are mentioned on here as much as they are. Im genuinely not bothered about them, I don't hate them and get more p1ssed off if we lose to Barnsley or Rotherham tbf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
POWP Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 1 team in city, if it weren't for pigs forming after us we'd be a similar size to manchester clubs/newcastle. you mean if we hadn't basically formed them! If we'd have stayed at bramall lane they wouldn't have existed. Size of the city aside their are also fewer clubs up in that region to compete with, Leeds simply have a bigger reach that we could never compete with. That is why they are seen as a more attractive investment proposition, why they'll be given more TV time etc. recent achievement doesn't even come in to it unless your talking outside of the UK, then you have champions league experience and more time in the prem which all brings exposure through other countries.

Adam1867 Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Leeds are bigger than us? I love this argument, i genuinely believe people think we are bigger than Man Utd at times. It is very unfortunate that they are. But deal with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
