Thanks for your support guys, it makes me very emotional and motivates me insanely❤🥺
Ey maat, Leeds United heeft 3 seizoenen Premier League gespeeld dus wat je bij 0:41 zegt klopt niet. Volg je het voetballen wel? Kan gebeuren hoor, maar het is wel gek dat je dat niet weet.
I Hope you come to Austrian Cup final Rapid against Sturm??!! You will See it is better than the Derby!!
You should come to a Portsmouth fc match! Our ground is half the size of Leeds but as passionate of fans as theirs. We will be in the championship next season so if we play Southampton you need to come to that game
Toffe videos! Welke editing programma gebruik je eigenlijk voor je transities? leuk gedaan :D
Will Groundhopper FC go to the champions match PSV against Sparta on may 5?
respect for flying/driving to every match.. (i would get bankrupt in a week)
Your support is much appreciated !! (- That's why I need the support;) )
Brilliant video mate sorry the atmosphere wasn’t as good as usual but nice too meet you mate keep it up
Atmosphere in English grounds is tragic. You are acting like normally on any other day it is amazing
@@xavier3930 you sound upset bro you ok?
This video hits! 08:35 " Instead of focussing on the away fans" is Spot On. Wish I lived near germany to see better atmospheres than here lol
Just fly to us, I've already seen some videos of English football fans who, if they book their flight tickets early enough, can attend a Bundesliga game cheaper than they have to pay for a Premierleuage game, you're welcome.
Atmosphere died when we got promoted to premier league, spent 3 seasons there not 1. First in Covid season which we came 9th then when fans returned we lost most weeks and since then atmosphere hasn’t returned.
Great content overall and wise choice to go to a Leeds United match in England, it probably doesn't get a lot noisier than that, and if it does it's not by much. They did spend 3 whole seasons in the Premier League, not only one, until relegating last May but they did struggle a lot in the Championship before promoting, and when they did, they couldn't play at home with supporters because of Covid. Still, one of the biggest English clubs
Your chatting total shit
I love English football chants, but I miss that energy seen in other countries, drums, flags, bouncing... Anyway, English way has kinda mystic athmosphere in traditional stadiums like this one
most of the comments i've read so far are spot on. english fans react to what's happening on the pitch, whereas other european fans sing constantly throughout the game. both ways of support have their own positives. for example, i feel like when a goal goes in, the roars and chants are louder here in england compared to other countries. but in terms of support throughout the match, other fans are better. personally, i really like the way we support our teams in england. it may seem quiet at times, but when it actually comes down to it, like for example scoring a goal after being 2-0 down, the atmosphere becomes electric.
best example i can give this season as a tottenham fan is when we were 1-0 down to sheffield united. it was quiet and a bit flat after they scored their goal. but when we started pressing them in the final 10 minutes, it was probably the loudest i've ever heard the stadium. and when richarlison scored that goal, the roar to get the team moving and score the winner was insane.
genuinely i thought this was a amzing video as i myself am a leeds fan and i like how your going across europe to see fans and games respcet to you
Means a lot this, thanks for your support❤️
Thanks for the video and for your perspective, mate. I’m a Leeds United season ticket-holder. The atmosphere has been very poor throughout the last 2 seasons, I’m afraid. It had, generally, been excellent in the period between 2014-2021, certainly by British football standards at least, so it’s unfortunate that you didn’t attend during that time. The South Stand had been able to generate an impressive atmosphere when it became our new singing end, following a fan movement to reinvigorate our vocal support by encouraging passionate fans to re-locate from the stand you were in to the one opposite you, the South Stand. Sadly, that has become as complacent as the stand it was supposed to supersede. The fact that the majority of people in our more vociferous stands are season ticket holders mean that no new fans can come in and meaningfully shake-up the atmosphere, nor can like-minded fans congregate together by moving their ticket into the same area. It is a total misconception that tourist fans are to blame for subdued football atmospheres in this country. Rather, in my opinion, it is to do with the mindset of local fans who have more important priorities than singing, such as going for a pint on the concourse while the match is happening or chatting to their mates around them. There is also a culture in Britain where home fans seem to be unwilling to create an atmosphere that is independent of the atmosphere that the away fans generate, which, in turn, affects the overall atmosphere. Further contributing factors include high ticket prices which exclude more working-class supporters. Fans have less power in this country because any element of fan ownership is very uncommon, and there are no highly-organised ultras groups which are able to exert power over football clubs in the same way a trade union exerts power over politics. The atmospheres you see in Britain are a product of mentality (particularly of the younger generation), and a lack of fan representation at institutional level (more preferable to ultras groups, who are prone to behaving like sinister protection rackets, particularly in Italy). But not all ultras groups are like that, I appreciate- many are just decent people who love their club. Many compliments for the video, I shall be subscribing and tuning in again. love from Leeds
Means a lot you subscribed! I will try my best to come back ❤️
And great perspective - appreciate you took the time to explain this!
Come back and get in the south stand, I'm a season ticket holder in there and the atmosphere is the best you'll see in elland road
Respect for your honest opinion! I also like the way how you use music in your recent videos. It makes all the shots even more beautiful to watch. Keep up the good work!
TAKE YOURSELF TO PORTSMOUTH FC! You will LOVE it Groundhopper!! 🔥
😂😂😂
Man decided to speak some facts! But appreciated compared to your last vid you went more open minded to this. Great watch mate!
You caught us at the wrong time everyone is so nervous that their focus isn’t on noise at this moment
I love leeds personally. Always had a soft spot for them. I would like that kit very much
yes I have a soft spot for Leeds - the North Sea
No matter how good some fan bases are in England or Britain, they generally are reactive to the action on the pitch and like you said they can be terrible when their players most need their support during a bad phase of the match instead of booing and abusing their own players.
That game was not a great one to judge the atmosphere Leeds fans can muster. The team played poorly and slowly for 80 minutes. Leeds fans are much more reactive to attacking football. And if you had been here when Marcelo Bielsa was in charge you would have seen that they are the best in the country (in my opinion).
Amazing video bro, we really see all the best fan bases on your channel. Also the conversations with the fans of Leeds gives us an idea why they are supporting their club. Keep working like that!
I would suggest going to the south stand for a true Leeds experience
It is where the fans are loudest and generally where you find the real banter
Best stand there like
Respect to you for going back to England even if it seemed you didn’t like it there!
I agree it seemed very flat and do wonder where those ‘ amazing fans ‘ are based lmao
Great video and great editing!
I feel for you that you didn't get the proper Elland Road experience. You probably couldn't have visited on a more tense evening than on Tuesday. The atmosphere never really got going, as you witnessed. Had you visited a few weeks ago for the Leicester match, you would have had an entirely different experience.
We have had 32 fixtures altered for TV this season and that can really impact the atmosphere with naff kick-off times on random days of the week etc. That said, the Leeds fans still travelled over 2000 miles in ten days for three consecutive away games, playing Saturday, Friday and Tuesday; now that is real support!
The Kop always used to be the most vocal of the stands, especially in the days of standing, but for the past decade or so the south stand has taken that mantle. The west stand is notoriously the most quiet, although if you listen really carefully you can still hear Victor Orta's echo, while the east can be hit and miss atmosphere-wise.
Thank you for making my city look lovely and all the best for the future. MOT ALAW
We spent 3 years in the prem, then we're relegated back to the championship. Anyway, that night at Elland road was an odd one. The atmosphere wasn't up to its usual standard. I think the tension and nerves around automatic promotion has got to the fans.
It’s holds over 37k not 40k. We were in the premier league for 3 seasons not 1 year and the team got relegated instead of being kicked out. Just to clear up some inaccuracies.
Love the video! Great editing skills! Hope to see you back at Elland Road in the future and hopefully you will see a better game. I think if you was at the Leeds vs Leicester game a few weeks back you’d have given atmosphere 4/4.5 stars!
Don’t no how I have only came across this video I’m a Leeds fan
I used to live in munster in Germany and watched Pruessen munster many times but I used to travel back to Leeds every month to watch Leeds united
Keep it up !!
When a goal is scored, the English go all out...less so in Germany, for example..
Amazing video cause it shows the differences between some football cultures, very interesting.
If these are the best English fans.. I wonder what they think of us German football fans
German fans are insane im a Az Alkmaar & Hertha Bsc💙🤍 fan
They’re not. The Krauts are very good but probably helped by the fact they can drink beer inside the ground
They’re not the best. Thing is, we don’t have ultras. We don’t like the concept of ultras either. Football for us a unity with the team. If the team is poor, we want them to know how we actually feel about it, rather than having a tone-deaf section of fans behind each goal mindlessly banging away.
We tend to think of German atmospheres as very manufactured. Everyone following a guy with a megaphone and a drum wouldn’t fit into English football culture. Also, I’m a Leeds fan and the atmosphere has been shocking this season, we have definitely been no where near the best atmosphere in England this season
@@F.O.O Last 20 mins of the Leicester 3-1 was absolute carnage but apart from that it's been relatively tame. Still noisy and good for people who aren't die hard fans/tourists to go to but yeah.
Go to the dublin derby on the 3rd of may (bohemians vs shamrock rovers). Not sure if theres a more underrated derby in europe, its always great
Subscribers decide!👀
@@GroundhopperFC zou het maar wel doen ja die derby is wel knettergek
Try going to actually good games like derby’s or massive rivalries or big UCL matches or relegation and title deciding matches. Then you’ll see it can be electric.
English fans of some clubs are very underrated. They are a very reactionary crowd and the entire stadium is involved. Better then a small section behind goal with drums if you ask me. Up the English ❤
Yes I felt that ' reactionary ' a lot. I do wonder if they are ' underrated '. As far as I can see everyone is hyping them up. Glad you are enjoying their atmosphere and wishing you a lot of amazing trips their! I can only recommend Leeds
Jij snapt het kerel!
@@GroundhopperFC I agree - reactionary is definitely the best term. When the team is losing, the ground is often quiet but when we are winning (I support Southampton), and the fans get going, the stadium is rocking (case in point vs Huddersfield earlier this season, and going back a few years, when we beat Inter!). Please come and watch Southampton, we may not have a reputation for being the loudest, but I stadium location by the water is top drawer, and the fans will welcome you with open arms (we are known for being quite friendly!). If you're looking for atmosphere go to Newcastle!
"Small section", have you ever watched a Bundesliga match live? In most stadiums, the supporting section makes up more than 1/3 of the total capacity. You can't compare English libraries to Bundesliga passion
Mate, English fans are nothing compared to Bundesliga 2 fans, go watch a HSV or shalke 04 game. Shit is WIIIILD!!
Respect for doing this things! I like them all. This video was such amazing! I love Leeds and Leeds is my club💙🤍💛 the quality of your videos are getting better and better and the edits in this video were again of high class. Now people can also see how great this club is, lots of love to you❤️
Also I hope I can win the shirt❤
Leeds fan here. The UK style of support is very different to the continental style, it's just as passionate but manifests itself in different ways. Saying that, atmospheres inside British grounds have long been deteriorating for various reasons, especially in the Premier where most grounds are like libraries on match days. I very much envy the Ultras style of places like Germany but know that apart from a few dedicated and small groups here and there, it will never take hold in the UK. Most British fans ridicule things like drums and flags in what is most likely a hangover from the casual era. The Europeans definitely do it better. Good video mate.
8:21 no you werent, our best stand was opposite you, next to the away fans
But is it true that our atmosphere has been very poor this year. But that's because of the nerves/slow football/expectation and the fans just having had 2 awful previous seasons. Go again next season when we're in the prem and it'll be much better
Great video mate, it’s a shame you caught a game when the atmosphere becomes tense 👍🏻
16 years out of the premier league, then 3 years in the PL again and now about to bounce back after a single season of championship (2nd division in England). For the "one year in the premier league" at 0:48
Think you Stood in the wrong part of the Ground Tbh. South Stand and Cheese Wedge far more lively. Saturdays also a better time to come as well !
Great Video!! from Spain
Love that! Gracias 🇪🇸❤️
great video, also an idea to go to games in the away-end.
What I do ask myself is, do you never feel unwelcome in the stands when filming? Similar to the guy mocking you for filming. Might be different per club, but how do you feel about this, some ultra sections might even deny you access when filming (?). P.s nice shirt ;)
Top video weer 😁. Ik wil altijd nog een keer met mijn vader naar Leeds. Zou dus het leeds shirt graag willen winnen.
I went to leeds for a pre-season friendly and the fans did not stop singing, were so passionate and were
the best fans i've ever seen live and that was all for a pre-season friendly. Elland Road isIncredible
LUFC
⚪🔵
This wasn’t the best atmosphere at Leeds it’s been fairly quiet during large parts of this season due to the passive football.. that being said they would sell way more tickets the waiting list for tickets is 15 years long . 😅
1:44 Why do you included a video Clip from Aachen? 😂
I kinda liked the atmosphere without pyros 🤔
Amazing vid!
If you get the chance, go to West Ham vs leverkusen next week, London stadium on European nights is rocking (if we concede early it will be quiet tho)
On its day Elland Road is the best in the country by a mile, but that’s only a handful of games a season in reality. The football at the end of last season was tedious, unimaginative and boring, which did impact the atmosphere significantly. It’s a shame you couldn’t visit us in the Bielsa years. Thanks for coming all the same!
Ik moet zeggen dat ik het niet met je eens ben. ik denk dat deze club veel meer respect verdient je was gewoon niet bij de goeie wedstrijd. Ik hou van voetbal en het gaat niet goed met mij club😢 maar deze club is heel speciaal en je moet een zeker nog een keer gaan. Als je drums en speakers nodig hebt om sfeer te maken ga lekker naar een concert maar dit is voetbal en ik ben geen fan van al dat ultras gezijk wat ook gaande is bij mijn club. Tip vanuit mij ga meer naar Engelse clubs zoals sunderland, meelwall of luton wat echt passion is en niet om te rellen of de politie lastig te vallen. En geniet van de mooiste sport op aarde💛🖤⚽️⚽️
Or go to Hillsborough on a big game when we have a large crowd 😊
We have drums 🥁
And when that place gets going it bounces.
Some footage from Aachen in Germany slipped into this video, not sure why😅
As a Bristol City I’d say Leeds are in top 3 supporters in Championship. Top fans. I’d put Sunderland as the top fans. Big shout to Plymouth also!
You shued be there on the Leichester game.....The fans went mental.l
My buddy deserve more subs ❤
Ga please naar een Play-offs wedstrijd van ADO Den Haag daar is de sfeer fantastisch!! Ik ben er zelf geweest. Ook al ga je niet ik vindt je video’s fantastisch!
That’s a proper English ground🤝
Nice video. Try the south stand next time! I can guarantee you’ll have a headache after
Great Video Mate But The Hardcore Fans Are The Opposite End Just Letting You Know ❤
Again, amazing video this love how you show at every game the city and what the culture is about 💪
To be honest, where you are going wrong in terms of atmosphere at English games is you always go in the home end. The atmosphere at just about every game is better as an away fan. Since we switched to all seater stadiums in England the atmosphere has become worse everywhere. Prices have also contributed to worse atmospheres as tickets are too expensive for many. Pick a good lower league derby to go to next season and you will see a good atmosphere, it seems like those are the only games home fans truly sing at nowadays.
I am a Leeds fan it’s brilliant
come to plymouth argyle the most southern team in england trust me you wont regret it
What a great vid(pls I need that shirt)
only excuse we have for poor atmosphere is that weve just come down from the prem and last few games weve played really bad
I hope you'll be in Lisbon to see Sporting's title party in May 💚🦁
Pity it wasnt the leicester game
Very interesting content!
You need to be in South Stand fella. Glad you enjoyed your time with us 💛💙💛💙
The atmosphere was way below par on Tuesday. Nerves in the crowd. We will make some noise today against Blackburn
We were in the prem 3years and finished 9th in that time 2 points off Europe
English fans are nothing compared to German Bundesliga 2 fans
Harsh
Probs worst game you could have gone to for atmosphere unfortunately. Thanks for the visit, come back soon!
Polish fans are the best
Come to saint Étienne in France (ligue 2)
My brother met all the team he went training in with them with his team
How can anybody take you seriously when you eat a burger with a knife and fork?!
we actually spent 3 years in the premier league
Can you go to VV Kloetinge - HSV Hoek that is the Zeelandse Derby
Go to newcastl they have the most passionate fans
I change the picture of the video with the bad edit before someone gets mad about it
We spent 3 years in the premier league not one with Marcelo bielsa
You were in the wrong stand. South stand or South East corner are both far better than the Revie stand
Its not like you should of had like 3pens and a corner when Patterson just walked out of the pitch but good game
Just to let you know the south stand is the place to be for atmosphere not the kop anymore
What happened to your Sporting vs Benfica video???
We spent 3 years in the premier league
But would love to win that shirt! Keep up the great content
Carling? That's not real beer :)
they were in prem last 3 years not just 1 year haha
You weren't in the "hard core stand" like you mentioned, do your research, the hardcore stand is the south and has been for about 10 years, secondly the game you went to was extremely poor with our players just slowly passing it about between themselves nervously, whenever a game is like that it does fall a bit flat, no matter where you go.
But in all seriousness, I find this really hard to understand given you are very high ranked in the league - packed stadium. This will never happen with a team in Europe
Because there is very little ultra culture in England. People pay a lot of money to actually watch the match. Everything that happens is reactionary like you pointed out yourself. Also there was more atmosphere at the other end of the ground as you noted yourself. I went to a Hamburg game about 10 years ago and the atmosphere was worse than Elland Road on a bad day. Obviously you have more experience hopping around Europe than me though. Good video though.
Leeds spent 3 years in prem not 1
Please go to Standard Liège VS Charleroi or if FC Liège get promoted visit thé first Liège derby in thé top flight in 20 years
Bro is Living my dream😢
I would say Elland Road is getting more and more quiet because people are so damn nervous… 😢 South Stand is by far the best stand though, the kop we’re you stood is kind of .. Shite tbh.
Anti-climatic whahahaa your english so good it's better than good
Go to sweden and watch a Stockholm derby
Tuesday was a bad choice
Leeds were back in the premier league from 2020 -2023. Three seasons, not one
That is not the main stand for atmosphere
Go to Bristol city same league as Leeds United the biggest club to never be in the premier league
We spent three years in the prem mate not one
