Leeds United F.C. Info

Football supporters like to brag they would go to the ends of the Earth to cheer their team. In most cases, it's just bar talk, except for Leeds United FC fans. Their loyalty is evident from the attendance numbers on game day, which show that the club has among the largest average attendance in England. This fact is all the more impressive when you consider that Elland Road was full even when Leeds United were languishing in the lower leagues.

Leeds United tickets were still a hot commodity even when the West Yorkshire team were in League One, a particularly dark period in Leeds United history.

For a team that has bounced between leagues, Leeds has managed to stay relevant, and the proof is in the three domestic titles, won in the 1968–69, 1973–74, and 1991–92 seasons.

The '70s were the most successful decade for Leeds United FC, with strong European campaigns, which secured the UEFA Cup trophy in the 1972-1973 season, while in the following season, they managed to reach the finals of the European Cup, which since then has rebranded into the Champions League.

The Peacocks, the preferred nickname of Leeds United FC fans, play their home matches at Elland Road stadium, with a capacity of 37,792. However, the official numbers were ignored in 1969, when 57,892 people viewed the FA Cup match versus Sunderland live.

About Leeds United FC Football Tickets

Leeds United Football Club traces its lineage from Leeds City, formed in 1904 but forcefully disbanded in 1919 because of accusation of illegal payment to players.

However, the city had an appetite for football, and the same year Leeds United was constituted. The team adopted the former club's stadium Elland Road as its home base.

In 1920, Leeds United FC joined the Second Division of the Football League. The debut in the first tier of English football arrived in 1924. Since then, it bounced back and forward, with the largest absence from the Premier League being the 16 years between 2004 and 2020.

The club has had issues with ownership over the years, leading to the essential sales of star players to balance the books. Leeds United are today on an altogether better financial footing, which is aided by their lengthy spell in the Premier League.

The atmosphere at Elland Road, with Leeds United fans in full voice, has to be seen to be believed, even more so for away trips following the club at places like Manchester United.

Major Rivalry

Leeds United thrive in the knowledge that, on the whole, they are not a well-liked team. This dates back to the rough manner in which they treated their opponents during their 1970s pomp and continues to this day as they play in the Premier League. Now they enjoy strong rivalries with a number of Premier League sides. Among those that engender the most hatred are Premier League sides Manchester United, Newcastle United, Liverpool and Arsenal.

The popular term 'Roses Rivalry' is used to describe the derby games between Leeds United and Manchester United.

The hostilities between the clubs have historical precedence and get traced back to the War of the Roses in the mediaeval period.

However, when other Yorkshire teams such as Sheffield United, Sheffield Wednesday, Huddersfield Town, or Bradford City are visiting, the hospitality is not any warmer. Follow Leeds United live during a derby game and purchase LUFC tickets via SeatPick.

Leeds United tickets for these games are at a premium and will end up costing more, especially if the matches are in the Premier League.
