The Carnivorous Badger Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 I was browsing the Championship, and had a look at the Leeds United info screen, and one of their fierce rivals was Galatasary; can any Leeds fans explain this, or is it a data entry error?

AcidBurn Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 Probably because of the Leeds fans that were killed over there a while back. If I was a Leeds fan I would hate Galatasary. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/703283.stm Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaSmith Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 This is due to the stabbing incident after a European match a few years ago in Turkey EDIT: beaten to it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NepentheZ Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 When Leeds played Gala in the UEFA Cup years ago, there was a lot of crowd trouble. It resulted in 2 Leeds fans being stabbed to death by hooligans, thus creating a hostile environment between the 2 clubs. That would explain why they are Fierce Rivals.

The Carnivorous Badger Posted December 4, 2010 Author Share Posted December 4, 2010 That's dreadful, explains the one way rivalry though (Galatasary don't have Leeds as rivals, just the other way round). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCIAG Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 I'm closing this because threads like this (i.e. with Galatasary mentioned in them ) only end one way, and I don't like giving out permanent bans because someone's said something stupid with thinking.
