Assume you're mainly referring to the coach window incident (from last yr? Or was it the yr before? - can't remember)
Well, as any sensible Leeds fan would know - we can't really do anything about some individual lobbing stone/brick/golf ball at a coach 500 yrds or more away from the ground. Since that (and similar problem vs Wire one time) I think there's usually some sort of police (well PCSO) presence in the area.
Not sure about any other incidents specifically (elaborate ...) - but any incident that puts off away fans visiting is very disappointing, esp if it's because of abuse/trouble/other.

I'd suggest any potential travelling supporter visit Craven Park to make their own judgements.
I'm sure if every supporter decided not to travel after hearing tales of 'alleged' trouble etc. grounds would be empty.
When I was 15 years old I visited Headingley and our coach windows were 'potted' on the way out, I've been many times since without any problems..

I walk my grandkids along a mile walk to the ground and then back after the game and I cannot remember the last time I saw any trouble, quite often have a natter with opposite fans walking along as well. The last 'bother' I saw at a game was in a derby outside the KC between some divvy fans of both clubs (kids).

I know a lot of Leeds fans are put off travelling to either Hull ground for fear of trouble. You might not like it but it's true, even if your neighbours are more to blame, people hear the word Hull and dont go any further.
I think other's are put off by the crap view in the standing section or having to pay extra to sit down/actually see the game when you prefer to stand, I know my family in Leeds wont go if it's on tv for that reason

Its dearer to stand in the east stand than it is to sit in the north.

Just been in to buy Season Tickets and I'm told the North Stand is Nearly Sold Out, So a Good Crowd I Think

The North stand at Rovers is both cheaper and a better view than the Western Terrace at Headingley.
