Sky Bet Championship: Reading boss Nigel Adkins hails 'fantastic' Leeds United
Friday 3 October 2014 11:09, UK
Reading manager Nigel Adkins has paid tribute to Leeds after seeing his side held to a goalless draw at Elland Road.
Leeds are in their 11th season outside the top flight and continue to regularly hit the headlines for off-field matters, while latest head coach Darko Milanic was forced to wait a while longer for his first win in charge.
Reading extended their unbeaten run to nine games against the Yorkshire club and prior to Wednesday night's stalemate had won their last four meetings.
But despite seeing his side spurn several chances to secure maximum points again, Royals boss Adkins said Leeds remain a big draw.
"Leeds United is a fantastic football club," Adkins said. "It's always one of the highlights of the season coming to Elland Road.
"It always has been and it always will be. It's something you should always look forward to because it's a proper football club with proper football supporters.
"I mean that in the right manner. All football clubs are proper, but you know what I mean. There's a history here, there's a passion here, which is great."
