Kaiser Chiefs will lose money when they play in Leeds later this month.The band revealed that despite being advised against performing at Elland Road - the home ground of Leeds United soccer club - they were determined to go ahead.Bassist Simon Rix said: "We're doing it because we want to." The rockers also revealed the hometown show will have a soccer theme, in keeping with the setting.Drummer Nick Hodgson said: "We're going to have programmes like football programmes."The group had to scrap their plan to have giant footballs in the crowd because they would have cost nearly £2,000.Guitarist Whitey added to NME magazine: "We've chosen the date deliberately so we don't clash with the play-off final."
