Quote ="sally cinnamon"I have lived in Leeds for a while now (as has Leeds Wire) and on the whole I have found they are a good set of fans here, as morleys_deckchair says they have a good knowledge of the game, but one thing I have found is that the average Leeds fan takes rugby league more seriously than the average Warrington fan. That's not a criticism it's an observation.
Eg back at Wilderspool I used to stand in pondlife corner and when we were playing badly you would hear loads of funny comments being shouted which were basically ironic comments on how crap we were playing and how we knew we were crap. People were annoyed that we were losing but the general atmosphere was not one of anger, it was kind of "seen it all before, same crap year after year but we're the mugs who turn up for more and more punishment". We would be rubbish but there was a lot of humour going around the terraces. Now when you go in the South Stand in Leeds, even during Leeds' glory era, amongst their home fans the atmosphere is a lot more tense, even if they are 10 points up if the ref gives a dodgy decision or one of their players knocks on the fans get really uptight and grumpy about it, I always get the feeling that they don't enjoy the games, they are stressed and tense all through the 80 minutes. Now obviously there are a lot of Leeds fans so this is just a generalisation, but it has always been the same whenever I've been at Leeds and I've been there as a neutral a lot, standing with their home supporters and usually hoping Leeds win.'"
I've always found our lot extremely sarcastic, more so than any other fan, even on here it's just a bunch of peetakers, some simple and some intelligent (like yourself) but on the whole Wire fans just love being sarky twunts,
