It's an attractive match to anyone who knows anything about old rivalries and also it's a chance for people who miss out on Premiership matches to see City play.
Watford in the 3rd Round was pretty full. Not too many empty seats.

Exactly. The club will want a repeat of this in terms of attendance. Reasonably priced tickets will mean a full house I have no doubt.

Leeds will be a good game because its a derby like the battle of roses
I have respect for leeds because when i was growing up 12-10 years ago were a brilliant team with good players and united feared them
Leeds is more closer to us than to man united scum because were closer to the pennines and most city fans like meself (used to live around oldham rochdale area) come from eastern manchester like oldham rochdale etc etc and most likely you find to leeds fans around them areas
There wont be chaos on the game because GMP and WYP will always be on top if leeds had 6,000 5,300 are sensible and follow there team 600 are lunatics with no interest in football only to cause chaos and distruption
Its going to be a problem for the fa when you have oldham everton man city leeds man united reading in the area you have everton fans going to oldham from liverpool to travel through manchester
Leeds coming to man city through oldham
Just remember wether its leeds or man united scum there not all are lunatics and you have sensible fans who follow there team yes they have idiots and lunatics
Anyway lets get back to football not the battle of manchester city centre
I think it will be a good game but we will win 3-1 and city to dominate most of the game

I've got f**k all against Leeds..yeah there was some set to in the 80s..but virtually every team had a firm in those days..They hate the rags as much as we do..the enemy of my enemy and all that sh*t
Sorry 100 at most, our fans are not the same as years ago, mostly barmies just wanting a good day on the pop.MCFC2393 said:There wont be chaos on the game because GMP and WYP will always be on top if leeds had 6,000 5,300 are sensible and follow there team 600 are lunatics with no interest in football only to cause chaos and distruption

The size of a club's away following has precisely fuck all to do with what division a club is playing in. Leeds are where they deserve to be due to them underperforming on the pitch for the last decade. It's up to them to put their arses into gear and earn the right to be in the PL. I wouldn't shed too many tears if they never get back up.marco said:this one will sell out no problems

Some on here are getting a bit carried away. There are a lot of similarities between Leeds and city in terms of history and size and also in terms of fanbases. I've seen lots of trouble with them in the past. I remember them bringing big followings in the 80s. They broke through into the platt lane once. Another game there was fighting in j block. I remember their buses getting ambushed at Victoria station once too. Maine road was as bad as eland road back in those days.
But their fanbase is a lot like ours. There will be a lot of lads on the piss for this game, as the FA cup always brings that out. They might even bring a 'firm' up, but I can't see there being mass disorder. The police will be on top of things and it will probably be similar to recent derbies in that respect: a bit tense and a few verbals but nothing else.

totally agree our 2 clubs were very very similar before you got your windfall.
