Leeds United FC 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, but not for Leeds United fans.

Their loyalty is evident from the attendance numbers on game day, which show that the club has among the largest average attendances 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 tickets were still a hot commodity even when the West Yorkshire team were playing 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 (now known as the Europa League) trophy in the 1972-73 season. The following campaign, Leeds 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 fans, play their home matches at Elland Road, 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.

Leeds United tickets are always in demand, and SeatPick makes it possible to get the best ticket prices for all Leeds matches.

Leeds United History

Leeds United Football Club traces its lineage from Leeds City, formed in 1904 but forcefully disbanded in 1919 because of accusations of illegal payments 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 2004-2020.

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 two seasons in the Premier League.

The atmosphere at Elland Road, with Leeds United fans in full voice, has to be seen to be believed. SeatPick is the most convenient place to buy Leeds United tickets online.

Leeds United Major Rivalries

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 whichever league they are participating in.

When Leeds United played in the top flight again from 2020-23 they enjoyed strong rivalries with a number of Premier League sides. The Peacocks have a feud with Chelsea since these these teams shared a rather hostile battle at Stamford Bridge in 1964.

Without a doubt, Manchester United are the greatest rivals of Leeds United. The popular term 'Roses Derby' is used to describe the clashes between Leeds United and Man United. The hostility between the clubs has historical precedence, dating back to the War of the Roses in the 15th century.

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 usually end up costing more than the average Leeds game.
