Leeds United supporters named as worst offending football fans onboard trains

By Telegraph Sport

Leeds United supporters are officially the most troublesome football fans in the country, getting caught up in more incidents onboard trains than any other club.

Fans of Neil Redfearn's side were involved in 77 incidents dealt with by police on trains over the last two seasons - almost twice as much as any other team in the top two flights of English football.
The British Transport Police (BTP) figures, released in response to a Freedom of Information request sent by The Sun, show Manchester United to have the worst behaved supporters in the Premier League.

Leeds United fans have been in more trouble than any other club in the past two years
Their fans were involved in 37 incidents, ahead of Manchester City (30), Sunderland (28) and Newcastle United (27).

Looks Like Cardiff have come a long way then not even mentioned - that should go in favour of ends being changed to the request of hardcore loyal fans who just want a passionate stadium worth visiting each week :bluescarf: :ayatollah: :bluebird:

Exactly. We're still being treated like the City fans of 15 years ago, it's nonsense. We should be treated how we really are now. Swap ends please.

Totally agree mate, the club need to realise that our fans have changed and that the past is the past. 90% of the dickheads have either fucked off, in jail, or too old to get involved.

The club should at least try it out for one FA Cup match this season, I'm sure fans would want to turn up for a one off if the club announced they were allocating the singing section to the Grange Stand as an experiment to see if the atmosphere would improve and a chance for Cardiff fans to prove that we're not a hostile fanbase anymore. :bluescarf: :bluescarf: :bluescarf:

If anything it's better for the Family Stand to move away from away fans. And there's absolutely no difference in view. You just need to walk to the other side of the stadium instead, is it that hard?

With reference to the (dickheads) comment, at your age I don't think you quite understand what it was like to go to some grounds in the 80s and early 90s. There was a culture of fighting in every club and it was a social issue as much of a football one, there were fights on bank holidays at seaside resorts, fights at music concerts, schools against schools, villages against villages.
