Loudest fans maybe but if I wanted to have a post match beer with an away fan and a good football chat, I'd choose a scouser every time. Leeds have that arrogance that makes them very irritating... Hate the 'we don't give a f***' song and as for 'you've only come to watch the Leeds'... Haha.. A bit shallow when we were tearing them to shreds in the 2nd half.
Got something to say or just want fewer pesky ads? Join us... 😊
Leeds support - best away fans so far

A lot of those Leeds fans were London-based. Not sure how many had come down from the north.
Thought they were the best so far. Also the most obnoxious, you only came to see Leeds chants - although banter, I am sure they actually believe it. Very quiet in the second 'Only sing when you're winning' comes to mind.
There were loads of coaches with Leeds telephone numbers - I would guess at least half their fans came down from Leeds. Must have been a nightmare journey on a Friday afternoon.

Yeah, it's not like we've got a song that goes "we're f***ing brilliant" is it? It's banter and meant to wind the opposing fans up. They probably have the same percentage of fans who actually believe that as we do. They were true to form in being the first club this season to trot out the usual gay chants though, to that extent anyway (Donny had a go but gave up quickly). Those big Yorkshiremen must be very insecure, bless 'em.

Yep loudest by far, (i thought it was the loudest we'd been too...my ears were rining when i went to bed) Good friendly banter at Falmer station after.

We were discussing this last night. Unless there is a real quiet moment from the home fans, you cannot hear a thing in the back of the North. You can see that they are singing/clapping/bouncing, but can't hear it.
Yeh but that 'we're f***ing brilliant' song is an embarrassment a lot of the time too. It was apt the first time it was used but otherwise makes me cringe.

They was loud coz THEY ALL SWING TOGETHER.
Actually, I think they do believe it, and I think they've got a point. Not at the Amex, but generally the home teams in the lower leagues get a bigger home crowd when Leeds play.
Leeds have loads of supporters clubs in the south, which is how they usually sell out games like last night. They sang "we support our local team" at Man United fans which was laughable to say the least.
What are you on about? They're the first club this season that hasn't constantly been singing the gay songs!
Those songs are just as arrogant as the 'we're f***king brilliant' one.
Try looking at things from both sides.

Lots came down from Leeds but all (almost all) were born and bred in Yorkshire. The "scousers" tho, most of them were born and bred in Crawley

Well if that's the case, then Crawley's gone up a bit in my estimation.
Maybe you should seriously consider relocating to Foooking Yaaarkshire if those cavemen make you feel so warm & gooey? I've heard the Women are born with flat heads so you can stick your pint down on 'em: thus giving them a reason to exist to boot...
