miles and miles bigger than us,amazing support every week,that is a fact,anyone that disagrees hasnt a scooby3

I disagree strongly.

They have amazing away support every other week - that is indisputable.

They also have a very fickle, only-come-out-for-the-big-games home support every other week.

When was the last time leeds played Newcastle away ? Or any premier league team away in the cup ?

Leeds fans are passionate and travel in big numbers however they still want to prove to the premier league clubs they are arguably a bigger club than them. That's why there is over 6k Leeds at Newcastle

Agreed, do people think that once you're past Watford, everywhere is next door and they a Northern version of the London Underground? I don't like it either, but Leeds are a massive club, I assume that no-one really thinks that Brighton are in the same spectrum?

I am sure some do, but it isn't just a southern trait (see my earlier post).

Actually I live north of Watford and have done for some time, I also know exactly how far it is from Leeds to Newcastle having driven to Newcastle via Leeds the weekend before last for the great north run. As I said before, it's not far.

In West Yorkshire you have Huddersfield & Bradford who both hate Leeds with a passion.
In North Yorkshire there is York City who have their own following.
Add into this a good proportion of Prem club fans & you are then beginning to see that the majority of the support come from the general Leeds area.
Also take into account that rugby league is the predominant sport for West Yorkshire so the Leeds fans do not make up that great a proportion of the population.

All the above said to take 6000 fans to a stadium over 100 miles from you home ground is a laudable achievement.

Okay, I just think whatever it is, 100 miles or so? 6,000 is about 6 times more than most would take.....

Plus one of the few Leeds fans left on my twitter that I haven't unfollowed lives - guess where - Newcastle. I doubt he's the only one.
