    All fine, but if you wanted to be picky, Leeds is in West Yorkshire.

    Thanks. I've rewritten it a bit to reflect that.

    Also most fans consider Chelsea and the two Sheffield Clubs as bigger rivals than Liverpool.

    Other than that its a good site.

    Thanks. A friend of mine who's a Leeds supporter hates Liverpool with all his heart so I assumed it was club-wide. Why are Chelsea such a big rival? Something related to Ken Bates' departure from there or does it predate that?

    There is some animosity towards Liverpool, but not as much as Chelsea. Part of it comes from Ken Bates, but it very much predates it. Leeds and Chelsea have in the past had two of the premier hooligan firms (Service Crew and Chelsea Headhunters), and these used to clash quite often.

    Now the Bates situation with him effectively screwing up our club even worse than it was under Peter Ridsdale, and destroying the clubs relationship with the fans you get regular chants of a "Get the Chelsea out of Leeds"
