Thanks for that. So when they’re doing all the Yorkshire stuff do you feel duty bound to support it, do you find it irksome, or do you just not give a fig?

Smart move. You saved yourself from a life of eternal damnation. People will not cross the street when they see you approaching, there won't be any whispered conversations when you're spotted at parties. People won't pity you.When I got to 16 a knew some older lads that followed Wednesday so started tagging along and this did feel like my team.

It does tend to be a West Yorkshire thing, as Town when they were in the PL were marketing themselves as the "Yorkshire" club.Thanks for that. So when they’re doing all the Yorkshire stuff do you feel duty bound to support it, do you find it irksome, or do you just not give a fig?
Doesn't really bother me tbh.
Sheffield people in general seem to have a glass half empty attitude and feel that compared to a city like Leeds it doesn't promote itself.
An example would be football itself, the modern rules, oldest club (Sheffield FC), oldest stadium (Hallam FC) oldest professional stadium (Bramall Lane), first game using floodlights (Bramall Lane) etc are from Sheffield but the City never seems to promote itself. If this was Leeds, Manchester, London it would be highlighted more.

I have always enjoyed meeting Blades and Owls fans on City trips. I also really like the city as well. It is very green in some areas and the humour is very Mancunian in my view. I think both clubs have incredible fanbases considering their lack of success. Sheffield is a proper football city.It does tend to be a West Yorkshire thing, as Town when they were in the PL were marketing themselves as the "Yorkshire" club.

I would be decked if any of the clubs fans in the whole of Yorkshire have any time for them .......... it’s not the actual club that the issue it’s there nobhead fans that are the real issueI know for a fact that Bradford City and Huddersfield Town supporters - not surprisingly - absolutely detest dirty Leeds.
After yesterday, it’s clear for all to see that dirty Leeds is alive and kicking.
Literally.
Actually glad my lad is an Owls fan always have a good day when I venture down there ..........Leeds is a one team City with in all honesty nothing to compete with ....... Sheffield’s different all together ............ all that’s needs now is for Everton to pick up and Burnley the same and these bastards will start to disappear up there arses...........I have always enjoyed meeting Blades and Owls fans on City trips.

Town are proud, they just don't have the supporter base reach.It does tend to be a West Yorkshire thing, as Town when they were in the PL were marketing themselves as the "Yorkshire" club.

As much as Leeds rightly get stick they have a fan culture that means their young lads feel part of something and have something to unite under and go home and away together over. Without that, like Hull, they'd all end up United and Liverpool fans.

I may slag the club but no one could deny that they have a great away following.Town are proud, they just don't have the supporter base reach.

I pretty sure Littlewoods played Newcastle in the '74 Cup final.
Correct. Liverpool v Leeds FAC Final was in 1965.

Not exactly before my time, Bill, but I’m too young to remember it.Correct. Liverpool v Leeds FAC Final was in 1965.
The first one I can recall was 1970; Chelsea and dirty Leeds.

I was just over 7 1/2 .
I’d already committed myself to City at the start of the year.

......and Chelsea v Leeds (replay) was the same evening as 'Vienna 70'. :-)Not exactly before my time, Bill, but I’m too young to remember it.

Jeez, you are right. I googled it and it gets worse it was the Charity Fucking Shield.I pretty sure Littlewoods played Newcastle in the '74 Cup final.
The scouse wanker teacher brainwashed us for a friendly. Can you get any lower than that. Oh and I was 15, too old for the Priest but not a dipper.

Back in the late 1980's I spent 3 and a half very happy years working in Leeds. I don't regret a single minute of it, but in my experience their fans were mostly nobheads then and nothing much has changed, it appears. I'd love it if they went down - the PL can well do without them IMHO.
