Leeds ‘RADICAL’ fans show me hostility at Elland Rd Pub
A few days before my visit to Leeds I was researching pub opportunities to watch the Leeds V Newcastle game, as myself and Helen couldn't get a ticket. I contacted The Old Peacock and was informed that away supporters weren't welcome due to a 'radical' section of Leeds fans ( I was informed). I took that to be a euphemism for 'hooligan element', or 'confrontational pillocks', basically. It was then that I had the idea for this video...
I already have a propensity to mix with away fans in a lot of my videos, as I enjoy the banter, but also to test my social skills in disarming potentially aggressive fans. For this reason I planned to visit the pub to see for myself it it was friendly or not, but also because I was already going to be mixing with Leeds fans around the ground.
In my experience in doing this sort of thing, but also hearing anecdotal accounts of the behaviour of some Leeds fans, they carry an unfortunate reputation of being confrontational and unfriendly. An unfortunate tag that doesn't reflect well on the wider society of Leeds. This is in contrast to the Newcastle City centre environment on match days where away fans can mingle in any stadium pub in safety and enjoy some great football craic. Of course Newcastle too has a minor element of idiots, but they don't generally frequent bars on match day and cause problems.
Around 11:00am myself and Helen walked up to the pub veranda as it was busy with Leeds fans. I started engaging with one male, but a male a few feet away became immediately confrontational and verbally aggressive, telling me to 'Fuck off!', 'Go on, fuck off!', more than once. He also made several abusive references to murder and our Saudi owners. The irony of this didn’t escape me as Leeds had a pre season tour of Myanmar which too is accused of awful human rights abuses.
At this point we weren't filming. When he escalated his foul and abusive tirade and then joined by a couple of others a doorman approached us and suggested we move away as it was agitating the Leeds fans.
Helen and I walked off and from then, every time we walked past on the main pavement, or chatted to a fan, the whole pub shouted abuse and then chanted songs towards me. Some of it was of course jovial banter but from other fans there was a tone of aggression and foul mouthed abuse about our club owners. After a while and at NO request from myself, two police officers went over to have a word about their behaviour.
Of course I am not offended, or shocked by this behaviour. I have lived a life submerged in violence in a previous career for many years, but I was however interested in social behaviour and the reputation of Leeds FC to have a larger minority than most clubs for an unfriendly element. I wasn't disappointed.
This is in stark contrast to the vast majority of Leeds fans who are decent human beings and I chatted to many, who were absolutely spot on.
This video attempts to encapsulate the polar differences in Leeds fans who carry an unfortunate reputation around the country. My view of these types of fans (including my own) are that of cowardly, beer swilling, pot bellied men, who hunt in packs and strike fear in ordinary folk. They approach violence by throwing chairs, bottles and other missiles at each other, or attack in numbers if they are superior in number. They are the opposite of strong and courageous.
Thank you for reading and watching the video.

Shame some fans let their side down. A few years ago i was down at Newcastle with my son who is a wheelchair user and being in the winter i was struggling to push him through the snow. A few Newcastle fans grabbed bits of the wheelchair and helped drag him up to the cathedral on the hill. When they left us he said he was a Chelsea fan and what they said was hope you enjoy the game, couldn!t praise them high enough. Haway the lads.

I remember going to Elland road in the early '90's to watch Coventry. Me and a couple of mates (none of us wearing colours) decided to have a couple of pre match pints in the Peacock. Just before we walked in my two companions bought a Leeds pin badge each from a badge seller on the forecourt and pinned them to their jackets. 'What are you doing'? I said. 'Cheapest insurance policy we'll buy today', was the reply!

When Wes Hoolahan played his last game after a decade at Norwich, unfortunately, it was against Leeds at Carrow Road and instead of like how most normal away fans do, which is join in the appreciation of long term players, a rarity, - rather than just join in with Leeds players applause, they chanted: "Who they effing hell are you" - who on earth does that kind of knuckledragging stuff now ? Even Millwall fans will show some admiration for a player like Hoolahan -fortunately, Hoolahan scored against Leeds.

Leeds have always had some proper nutters following them.
My granda supports Leeds and drinks in the peacock before games coming down from Cumbria. I wasn’t on the game today but I had a great laugh with the Leeds fans in the peacock before a different game that wasn’t against Newcastle. They gave as good as they got banter wise to away fans that day but no trouble at all. That was a night game, early kick offs must attract the dick heads. Love your vids and was gutted to see I just missed you outside the train station before the United game 👏🏼 Edit: Having said that, I know all clubs have a minority of idiots but, together with Man Utd and Chelsea, Leeds have one of the biggest minorities of idiots.

The Leeds fan talking about wanting to go down just about sums up the feelings of lots of fans who support clubs outside the super rich. Who wants to see their team getting mullered every week? The gap is way too big now and it's getting bigger by the season. I'm a Blackburn fan but have a few Burnley friends who have loved being in the championship and seeing their side competitive again, it's almost certainly back to them getting their arses handed to them every week next season. The level of money in the game now has spoiled it for all but the fans of the wealthiest clubs and if a club the size of Leeds with their fan base can't compete then it's time we all packed up.

As a Leeds fan, honestly anywhere in town you’d have been sound mate. The old peacock has always just been for home fans, just cos it’s position directly next to the ground. The dry slaters literally just down round has home and away fans in together. Like I say it’s just cos if it’s position right next to ground. However yeah we definitely have muppets in our fan base🤦🏻

Agreed. I'm a leeds fan myself.
1.40 - it’s tough for all away teams to come to Leeds, Man City Liverpool and palace May disagree 😅
I was in that pub the day we won 3-4, Nobby Solano scored the winner I think, no trouble then.
You have to worry about those fans who are plain vile. As it sadly showed today with the Leeds fan who confronted Eddie Howe. Vile fans more interested in violence should go back to the 80's.

A lot of the people giving him abuse in that video are at least 50 years old. Absolutely embarrassing. You have to wonder how miserable their lives are to get to that place. I know northern England is dull, but jesus christ.

Again it's the minority from what iv seen and read since then Leeds fans are totally disgusted with the idiot who got on to pitch
Well only the one point each guys, so that's probably not done either club much good ....
Just come across ya, marra. Leeds fan 50 years. Memories of the gallowgate in the 70's. I thought those days were "away", but obviously not. As ya know, a minority. Enjoy ya times supporting ya side, because there comes a time when ya "physically" goosed. ( in my case ) Love proper fans of any team.

I don't think this is a Leeds problem, Newcastle are definitely the exception to the rule, like you say away fans are welcome in any pub because at the end of the day we're all football fans that love our clubs, we can have banter and it ends there (you will always get the odd idiot) but i love to see away fans mixing with us and just having a good chat about football, a lot of them seem to congregate at the victoria comet (closest to the train station so makes sense) but they could easily walk in any of the hundreds of pubs on the way to the stadium and be welcomed (obviously excluding the mackems 😂)

Ah me old mate isleofskye, not seen you for a while. I see you're still hanging around on Leeds videos and bigging up Millwall. Hope you're not forgetting that whilst Millwall usually beat Leeds at their place, it's usually the other way around at Elland Road. 👍
