Awesome turnout lads (and lassies/kids!)

[Dancin Ninja BHA]

Sky Sports have just shown the goals, and was most impressed with the number of fans we had behind the goal (i thought they'd stick us in that poxy corner stand)

I normally think threads on our away support are gay ( ) but fair dos everyone who went, brilliant effort

 

[oapdodge]

It was a good day and atsmosphere. Didn't see any sign of trouble. Pub was packed before the game,should have gone to the wedding. Good ground and fantastic result.

 

[cardboard]

Looked about 1,800 to 2,000 to me

Spoke to Leeds fans at the service station and they said our support was superb


You're not a BIG club anymore!!!!!!!!!!!!

Its that sort of thing that doesnt win the club friends - they are a big club.

did anyone her phone in out talk sporT?

 

[Beach Hut]

Good turn out and to think they were in the Champions League semi-final not that long ago.

We are going places with a manager like MM

 

[cardboard]

Was well funny, the bloke at the end from Brentford? had a right go at thr Brighton fans!!

Thought the people that phoned in were pretty good.

 

[Roger Mellie]

Phone in after on radio aire just had leeds fans that assumed it was their right to beat us, no credit at all to us even though taken 4 out of 6 points off them. It's like they just do not understand where they are - funny if it wasn't sad

Are we supposed to be winning friends? Taking the mick is all part of being a football fan isn't it?

And , incidentally, on what grounds are they a big club when they are, technically, bankrupt and mid-table in English football's second tier? Are Sheffield Wednesday a big club these days?

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

yes they are

its not just done on were you are in the league - if that was the case stockport would have been a bigger club than man city a few years ago

 

[Starry]

Looked like about 1,700/1,800 from the Kop.

We didn't hear you til you equalised though

Leeds get crowds of 27,000+ for mid-table Championship games. That's a BIG club. And yes, Sheffield Wednesday are a still big club these days. Always have been and always will be.

That's okay, we didn't hear you at all!!

 

[Starry]

I should think not I was in the Captains Lounge, we have to behave ourselves there.

Nonsense, I was amongst the Leeds fans in the West Stand and the Albion fans comfortably outsung the Leeds fans in parts.

But fair play to you, the Leeds fans were amongst the best home fans we've seen (and heard) this season.

 

[trueblue]

So at what point do Sheffield Wednesday stop being a big club? Or can that never happen because they have a big ground?

Are Preston a big club? Forest? Derby? Wolves despite years of obscurity? Burnley? Portsmouth? Ipswich? Huddersfield?

I understand your point but the fact is Leeds currently are mediocre, have debts that may yet drag them under and are living entirely on past success. In those circumstances, I think it's perfectly fair for them to take a ribbing from well-supported, very skint but sensibly run Brighton, especially as our squad - assembled on a shoestring- hasn't been beaten by them this season.

 

[Starry]

I sit at the far end and we very rarely hear the away fans. Same as when I've sat at the far end of the east stand you don't hear the kop.

 

[Starry]

Our debts are now £9m and are significantly less than at least 4 other teams in this league and on a par with the majority of teams, there is no risk of us being dragged under (none more so than anyone else).

Far point but honestly who do you think the bigger club are brighton or wed?

Wednesday will stop being a big club when they stop getting big crowds. This season their average is 22,839. That's for mid-table League One football. Their best crowd this season was 28,701. Albion's best-ever average was 25,265 in the top flight. Wednesday are a big club. End of story.

Preston? Not for a very long time. Forest? Still a big club. Derby? Not really. Wolves? Of course they are a big club. Burnley? They haven't been a big club for decades. Portsmouth? Ipswich? Mid-ranking clubs. Huddersfield? Not at all.

You can only judge the size of a club by its support in my opinion.

if liverpool dipped down to lg 2 they would still be a massive club
