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.

When Millwall went up in 1987/88 , they won 2/1 at Easter and we stayed for 3 nights there. Millwall sold out 5,000 for THe Away End for the midweek match so we sat with the Leeds fans and had to stay quiet and pretend to look miserable at the end of the match which was not easy as we knew then that we had a great chance of our first ever Promotion to the Top Division:)

[@mick6370]

​@@IsleofskyeKnock 3,500 off your 5,000 and you might be close to what you actually brought, the south stand only holds around 3,000-3,500 when top and bottom are full and it wasn't full that night..

@@mick6370 I bow to your local knowledge Mick but it looked mighty full, where we were sitting amongst The Elland Road faithful and The Police told us to make our own arrangements as they wouldn't let us go in the Away End, that night.
