Fine set of people

Anyone remember partying in cardiff the day we beat QPR in the play off final

That was a good laugh

Loads of sorts out that day

I shared my chips with one , she was enchanted

I don't remember the 60s. But when I was a kid in the 70s, Leeds were as big as Liverppol and Man U. Or at least they seemed so. I can still remember the names of most of their team. I can remember watching them get robbed/mugged in the 1975 European Cup final. Are they as big as they think they are? Absolutely not, but they're bigger than the likes of Wolves, Leicester, Southampton etc. If they were inconsequential, we (and everyone else) wouldn't hate them so much. Don't forget, Chelsea were very much a yo-yo club in the 80s.

Chelsea have spent far more time in the top flight than Leeds, which surprised me a little. For virtually their entire pre-Abramovich history, they rarely threatened the top sides.

Leeds have challenged at the top table in the Sky TV era. None of the others you mention have except for Newcastle who get plenty of media attention and also only spent 1 season out of the PL and did what was expected and bounced back straight away.

Leeds also have a bitter rivalry with Manchester United the biggest club in the country.

Villa and Leeds have had really good attendance numbers at their games in the Championship too. Way more than Forest, City et al. Isn't it the case that Leeds' average attendances in recent seasons has been greater than Cardiff City Stadium could accommodate?
