I call bullshit on this statement.Quote:

from my time living there in a town between Bradford and Leeds, the rivalry is very realQuote:

The football rivalry is non existent according to my Leeds mate. Bit of a local thing, nothing else.
you dont walk around Bradford in a Leeds topQuote:

^^^^ This, there is a healthy rivalry in rugby league between Leeds, Castleford, Wakefield and when they were in super league Bradford Bulls, the Leeds/Cas rivalry is particularly intense atm but the one thing most of the above fans have in common is that a good percentage of them support Leeds UnitedQuote:

Very partisan
Thats not correct , Bradford have very big crowds for a city that has such a very poor football teamQuote:

Leeds is known as the car park on the M62 by Bradfordians
Are you saying this doesn't happen ?Quote:

Abuse at the very least
Its clearly not right and its laughable to suggest I would get a thrill out of it , but it happens
Do you think Sunderland fans go out at night in Newcastle with their mackem shirts on and dont get a hard time ?
You must be very wet behind the ears 👂
