The Opposition

Leeds United Football Club is an English football club in Leeds, West Yorkshire. The club was formed in 1919 following the disbanding of Leeds City F.C. by the Football League and took over their Elland Road stadium. They currently play in the Football League Championship, the second tier of the English football league system.

Leeds United have won three First Division league titles, one FA Cup and one League Cup. The club also won two Inter-Cities Fairs Cups. The majority of the honours were won under the management of Don Revie in the 1960s and 1970s. Leeds lost the 1975 European Cup Final against Bayern Munich and reached the semi finals of the tournament's successor Champions League in 2001.

Previous Highlights




Elland Road



Key facts

Club: Leeds United FC
Opening: 1897
Capacity: 39,460 seats

History and description

Elland Road opened in 1897, however in the first years of its existence it was only used for rugby matches. In 1904 newly formed football club Leeds City moved into the ground, and in the following years the stadium got gradually expanded.

After in 1919 Leeds City got expelled from the Football League, the stadium was sold for a sum of £250 to newly formed Leeds United. Further renovations were made shortly after, but few changes were made in the decades following.

In 1956, a fire burned down the West Stand, and a new stand had to be built. With the successes of Leeds United in the 1960s and early 70s further renovations were made.

Elland Road achieved its record attendance in 1967 during an FA Cup match with Sunderland. A total of 57,892 supporters watched the game from the stands.

In the early 1990s, the club started a redevelopment program for the ground, which most notably included the rebuilding of the East Stand in 1993. At completion, the stand counted as the biggest cantilever stand in the world.

Elland Road was one of the playing venues of the Euro 1996 Championships, during which it hosted three group matches.

In the early 2000s, Leeds investigated a move to a brand new 55,000-stadium, however these plans were shelved after the club’s finances severely deteriorated. Only smaller renovations have been made to the stadium since.

Guess the Score / Attendance

Post your predicted score/attendance below

we've gone well past caring until Slade has gone

1-1

Leeds 0 City 2

2 nil City.

city 0 leeds 2

Draw 1-1

1-1

Looking forward to going to Leeds, prob be no more than 150 of us

I think we'll be superior in every area of the pitch, and dominate for most of the match. I predict most fans will leave the ground wondering how we did'nt win by four or five goals, but our lack of goal scoring power will probably mean just a one goal victory for us. Given our recent performances and results, I'll take 3 points however we get them.

Leeds 1 City 2

It is nearly always 2-1 to The City in this fixture.

0-0 again should I laugh or cry

0-1 City win Kenwyne Jones

Got nil - nil written all over it, lol. You can tell how shit our football is by the low numbers travelling away. Even in the dark days of Durban and Hibbitt etc we had better support. Remember when the Welsh FA banned us from away games 1989 ish loads of city fans found their way into the home ends.

City Nil Leeds O hopefully best we can hope for, can't see scoring bases on what we have up front at the moment

Leeds 1-2 CCFC

Leeds United welcome Cardiff City to Elland Rod on Tuesday evening looking to end an abysmal record against the South Wales club.

Leeds haven't beat Cardiff in any of the previous seventeen meetings both home and away and you have to go back to 1984 for Leeds last triumph against the bluebirds.

What do you think?
Can Leeds end their terrible run or will Cardiff return to Wales once again with the points?

An exciting attacking game of football by both sides will result in a 4-3 City win, with stewards shaking hands with City fans before during and after the game. The atmosphere will be electric and both sides will show what master tacticians thier managers are..............

0-0

Not Good viewtopic.php?f=2&t=164590

I really hope that we don't start with Revell, he wins headers and is a work horse BUT he's a striker who doesn't score goals! His job is to score goals!

If Ken isn't ready I'd prefer to play a 4-5-1 with Noone and Pilkington on the wings, push Ralls into the centre with Dikacoi and Whitts, Mason upfront but tell him to start there with the wingers providing support.

Leeds will be without suspended skipper Sol Bamba and midfielder Tom Adeyemi tomorrow night.

Was hoping to go to this but gutted to find out earlier that I couldn't get a lift.

Safe trip to all though

Leeds United welcome Cardiff City to Elland Road on Tuesday evening in a match the hosts will be desperate to win.

Steve Evans replaced former manager Uwe Rosler at Elland Road last month, but in the three matches since Leeds have picked up just two points and they were very disappointing in their recent 2-0 defeat to Blackburn Rovers.

Leeds cannot afford to drop more home points if they want to steer clear of the bottom three, meaning victory later this week is imperative.

Leeds will be without the suspended Sol Bamba and on-loan midfielder Tom Adeyemi who is ineligible to play against his parent-club, but other than that Evans has a full squad to choose from.

Cardiff are doing considerably better so far this season and they are currently ninth in the Championship, two points outside the play-off places with 14 games played.

10 miles before Elland Road and we left at 2pm

I'm sure Slade will stick with Revell. He's due a spectacular goal....his one per season!
