Hell-and Road! Trouble mares derby.


Two buses demolished and thousands of pounds of damaged caused. Glass scatted like snow and sirens drown the cheers.

People would be forgiven for thinking this was a scene from a movie about hooligans and football colliding. However in reality, it was the aftermatch of Leeds and Bradford fans clashing before the West Yorkshire derby at Elland Road on tuesday. Sources suggest around £35,000 worth of damage was caused as buses carrying City fans to the game were vandalized with fans from both camps involved. its the second time in a year these scenes have been witnessed outside Elland Road, as the awful incidents against Milwall suggest, this was not a one-off.

However the violence was minimal and kept well under wraps by local police. The small group of fans the were involved took focus from an otherwise fantastic advert for yorkshire derbies.

12 arrests have been made.
