LEEDS UNITED, as a club, have never been the most popular; you only have to read David Peace’s The Damned United for the reasons why. However, you would have to have a heart made of stone not to feel for the supporters at present.
37,000 packed into Elland Road last week to see their side eliminated from the League 1 play-off semi-final by Millwall; the likes of AC Milan and Juventus struggle to attract crowds of that size regularly in Serie A.
A few years ago, it was a shock to the system to see Leeds’ name alongside the likes of Millwall and Scunthorpe when the fixtures were released. Now, sadly, it is just the norm. This once-great club are in danger of becoming known as one of British football’s lesser-lights.
