Leeds are my English team btw.
I love watching a number of English teams due to the quality of football- give me a Man U, Arsenal, Tottenham, Liverpool etc game anyday and I'll watch it, but Leeds is the team I look for to win- having started watching them at Elland Road a few years ago when my brother moved down there.
Elland Road is absolutely brilliant- it is a "proper" football ground in the style of Ibrox or Highbury- none of this shopping centre nonsense (see the Reebok stadium or St Marys). The banter and atmosphere around the ground and in the city centre before the games is quality.

Leeds will be back in the premiership someday, it may be 2 years may be 5 years but I'm certain it can happen, not this season though.
Aye, I dont think it will be quick, unfortunately. I was at the playoff semi final and final last year and they did not play like a team that was anywhere near Premiership quality- hopefully with some financial stabilisation they will build a realistic and affordable squad to survive back in the big time.

Leeds can f**k right off.
Run by arseholes for years, who have run the club into the ground, and supported by a large amount of scum.
The mis-management of the club has been scandalous- have heard so many outrageous stories! The cleaners on £30,000 a year, and budgets for fishtanks being £2,000 in the year or something!
