Doncaster 1-0 Leeds - Doncaster Promoted

[piddle2k6]

To be fair they would get 40k+

Leeds United 2001/2002 MIN:- 38,337 MAX:- 40,287 AVERAGE:- 39,788 TOTAL:- 755,987

They have good support but i wonder how many will turn to doncaster now they are the best team in yorkshire

[F32]

correction?
guranteed if leeds were in the prem they would get gates over 40,000 every week. their support is great vocally and they take massive numbers away from home.

They don't, though.

[leah]

Leah - you obviously know nothing about football at all. Leeds are the most hated club in, probably the world because they cheated through everything over the past few years and the used to 'steal' players from local rivals back in the 60's/70's. Leeds have NEVER had money problems - KB said they did to avoid paying fines and in doing so went into administration when they knew they were down last year and because of him lying they deducted 15 points this season.

Ken Bates is the reason why you are where you are. He cheated the FA, he cheated the Football League so how you can say they deserved to go up is stupid. Whoever says that is stupid. Elland Road is a dump, an absolutely dump of a ground. It's made of useless corrugated steel and cardboard. It's not a ground, it's 4 stands around a pitch - that's not a ground. If you go to Elland Road, odds are you'll come out covered in blood.

The media love Leeds, however. This is why Elland Road is complimented. Look North, a local news programme in Yorkshire, did a piece on Rovers winning promotion although it had no interviews, no reaction, no crowd etc it only showed the goal. However, if Leeds won it then they probably would've filled the programme with it because no matter what happens, Leeds will be the biggest club in Yorkshire. Yes, it's part jealously but the fact is it shouldn't be like that. Everyone in the media is biased towards Leeds.

So, Leah - please learn about football and your 'supported' club before you go posting things like that. Please, I hate Leeds and I know more about them than you.

LOL your opinion doesn't matter.
I know alot about Leeds tbh and they aren't the most hated club ever either, many people hate Manchester united.. we don't cheat when it comes to football which is what this thread was meant to be about instead of you going into reasons why you hate leeds, I couldn't care less.
Leeds don't get many decisions that go their way like a few other teams do, and we're extreamly unlucky.. so how we can cheat with being unlucky and getting hardly any good decisions from the referee I don't
see. Leeds are the biggest club in yorkshire because we have the best stadium, the most dedicated amount of fans and we earned it, don't try and discredit leeds's achievements because of your pathetic jealousy.


sheffield united are better than Doncaster, and if leeds fans havent changed to teams in the premiership I highly doubt they'd be tempted by Doncaster.

Leave leah alone yeah. i havent read all of it beacuse i cba and leeds arent the most hated club ever i think that goes to chelase. anyway leeds have done the unthinkable this year! remeber that 15 point loss they had? Man utd couldnt have won with -15 but leeds sure did and next season they will win and then they will be back on the road to the premiership that is all for now.

[Soka]

from reading this thread half the people know **** all behind leeds story so don't even bother posting **** on financial situation and the gate numbers.

RIGHT, leeds are fine financially now so have to work hard to get up

i'm going to be a big man and say doncaster (YES A YORKSHIRE RIVAL) deserved to win - they played better - LEEDS played awful i think my two grandmas would have made better full backs then richardson and johnson, is it me or could beckford not strike a ball? i think most we'll get is 2 million for him, david healy was alot better quality, and look what hes doing now.

the best of luck to them in championship, its good for the chairman especially.

nasri, look north i get that? don't know if its different version or not mines one with peter levey, but none of its about leeds NOR doncaster, its about hull most of the time - agreedably.

we'll see if bournmouth/luton have great start due to alot of people suggesting leeds wouldn't have done as well without reduction, thus those two teams should do brilliant.

poyet imo was the person behind it, and whoever in this threadsaid they haven't played well since wise left is an utter moron

end of day doncaster deserved it, FINITO, we got next season - nobody would have even thought leeds would have got to play offs anyway.

My opinion does matter you petulant arrogant fool. Leeds are the most hated football club in football. Manchester United are not because they are successful, they've never cheated the FA or Football League and they don't do 'dirties' such as... Leeds.

Leeds do cheat when it comes to football. Business is part of football and this is where you cheated. If you still don't think that you cheated then please, do your gosh darn research. I hate Leeds because of the reasons why everyone else hates Leeds. No, I'm not a sheep - they cheated football, their fans are disgraceful and 'they're not famous anymore'.

Please elaborate on your claim that "Leeds are unlucky" because as I can see it, they are lucky to even be in League 1. If the FA and Football League actually followed rules that were followed when Scarbrough had their difficulties - Leeds would be in League 2 with a 10 point deduction so please elaborate.

You can't say "we don't get decisions from the referee". That's a ludicrous claim to make considering both teams have the same referee that makes the same decisions on the day. Not every referee can get every decision correct so you cannot say that.

Hull are the biggest team in Yorkshire, actually, followed by Sheffield Wednesday, Sheffield United, Doncaster and then Leeds - in accordance to the English football ladder. You can't say "because we were in Premiership" because you're not anymore - you're in League 1 so face it, you're pretty much the smallest team in Yorkshire.

I'm not "discrediting" Leeds' achievements. What they've done as a club are fantastic and what they've done as a team this season are fantastic - accumulating 91 points across the season is great but I'm saying the club shouldn't be where it is now and they know it and you know it.

Haha, again where you're wrong. The majority of football followers in Doncaster, about 4 years ago, were supporters of Leeds due to them being the dominant club in Yorkshire. Now the tides are turning, however, and we will receive gates of over 12k per match next season and that's a fabulous feat for any club in our position. So, Leeds fans based in Doncaster are going to be tempted by Doncaster due to the likes of Birmingham, Reading, Norwich, Wolves, Cardiff coming to the Keepmoat as opposed to Hereford, Stockport, Yeovil, Crewe coming to Elland Road.

The only thing I'm jealous of is the media coverage - I'm shouldn't be jealous but I am because it's biased media coverage and you cannot deny that.

It also strikes me as interesting how every Leeds fan who comes up against these sorts of claims always put down the argumentee and comes up with an excuse is. The fact is, I'm guessing Cardiff.City, Jamie, Matty, piddle, Jack, Grays and others will agree with me and none of them support the same sides. There's only one set of supporters who don't hate Leeds, and that's Leeds - and at times you think they hate themselves.

Oh and only about 5% of this post is my opinion.

I know enough behind the Leeds story to state where they should be and why they shouldn't of got the points back. It's probably you who knows less about it than anyone else but I'm not going to say that. Leeds were always fine financially and they never had a crisis - it was all a cover but if you knew that then I guess you need to research on the Leeds story.

Onto the game - Beckford was awful. The pressure got to him in the big games and if you can't score in big games then you shouldn't be playing football. 20 goals a season in League 1 isn't hard to be fair and although he's definately going in the summer I doubt you'll get 2m. Howson went incredibly close and when your defender [can't remember who] blasted just wide near the end I filled my pants with cake because I thought that broke the net.

Our chairman is amazing - he's a down to earth guy who's not in it for the money. How many of them do you get? I'm not sure on our Championship hopes but we can see out the first season I'm sure. Look North was dominated by Hull yes but on the League 1 play off bit it only showed the goal as I said.

Luton were terrible when they were at the Keepmoat [sorry Jordie] and the only reason it wasn't a beating was because of Dean Brill. Bournemouth had a quality end to the season but they're going to loose key players [Vokes] I think, piddle can clear that one up though.

I said Poyet was the minds behind Wise and when Poyet left, Wise left before he could be blamed for the lack of form. On the day, we deserved it but over the season you deserved it.

Leave leah alone yeah. i havent read all of it beacuse i cba and leeds arent the most hated club ever i think that goes to chelase. anyway leeds have done the unthinkable this year! remeber that 15 point loss they had?

If you haven't read all of it then please don't post - you're another one who posts here once in a bluemoon [see what I did there?] and knows only the outer stuff of the football world. It wasn't unthinkable, it was straight forward - we all knew they'd walk it and they did - they were the best team over 46 games in League 1.

My hands need a rest now

[leah]

Leeds were outplayed, I can admit that.
and Doncaster did desearve to win.
Leeds's stadium is premiership standard so how you can sit there and say its rubbish is beyond me.
Leeds did have financial probelms, but not anymore so how you can say we never had financial problems, again is beyond me.
you can't blame ken bates because he wasn't here when the whole thing started that is the fault of david O'leary and peter ridsdale.
So welldone to Doncaster, Leeds always have next season..
but we really aren't the most hated club, Maybe you hate us the most and a few others.. but Leeds United is deffinately not the most hated footbal team in britain.
what are you on about we didn't cheat business.. we ran out of money theres a difference.
and Leeds aren't the smallest team in yorkshire, we have the largest fan base and the best stadium.

Leeds are by no means the smallest team in yourkshiere they were chalenging for the prem a few years ago and that you cant say about any other yorkshiere team. i would bet any money that doncaster come stright back down becuase leeds have the history and the fan base to make it to the prem again

On the day Leeds were outplayed, yes. Have you ever been to Elland Road? It's an absolutely dive. Whoever says the Keepmoat is a dive has never been to Elland Road. The last time I went to Elland Road:

• I was spat on by Leeds fans before the game
• Got cheated out of cash by the guys selling programmes and then abused by him and he was only about 12
• Got cheated out of cash by the guys selling food and then abused again
• Got absolutely verbal and physical abuse by the stewards because I was "singing too loud" and "standing up too often" and they're direct quotes.
• Spat at and shoved on the way out.
• Verbally abused on the way out because we won
• Threatened on the way out because we won
• Threatened at the train station because we won

Needless to say I'll never be going there again.

I said Leeds are one of the smallest teams in Yorkshire, not clubs, teams.

[leah]

Lol im a leeds fan and i'd never dream of doing that, all teams have fans that they aren't proud of.
Yes ive been to Elland road before and nothing like that happened to me.
I once went to Plymouth argyle V leeds at home park and we got started on for being leeds fans o.O
It can be a scary expierience I know, but all clubs have mean fans like I said, you can't judge all the fans on the ones you saw.
