lestajigs Posted 17 October 2012 Posted 17 October 2012 This we have quality support, especially away from home No Leeds have quality support away from home, we are not to bad, but We could be better
tylesta Posted 17 October 2012 Posted 17 October 2012 Ok. But I'm telling you my mates got the last two tickets on the day of the match. If you see the match again they cut to a shot of us when we score one of the goals and it's full. are you the gay looking one?
Harry - LCFC Posted 17 October 2012 Posted 17 October 2012 No Leeds have quality support away from home, we are not to bad, but We could be better I'd argue that Leeds actually have awful support, 800,000 people live in Leeds as opposed to just 300,000 in Leicester. They do have to travel further than us on average but they don't do any better in terms of the proportion of their population attending games. They should definitely be in the Premier League considering their size, massively underachieving right now. Probably one of the biggest underachievers in the country.

Simmo86 Posted 17 October 2012 Posted 17 October 2012 Helps that Leeds fans are spread across he country while our support is pretty regional
Danny the Fox 95 Posted 17 October 2012 Posted 17 October 2012 Leeds have top support, we have the highest ethnic minority in the country, but the majority will support Man Utd, and Liverpool instead of Leicester. If we got to the Premier League then we would be a very well supported club.
Harry - LCFC Posted 17 October 2012 Posted 17 October 2012 300.000 is bull, we have a huge catchment area which about equals leeds population!!!! leeds have fantastic away support probally the best in the country Can you genuinely say that the average person living in our catchment is as likely to be a committed fan as one living in Leicester? I doubt it. No way can you equate our population to theirs by tacking on half a million in our catchment area to those people actually living in Leicester. Furthermore, Leeds are a team that could be "glory supported" as they bang on about how good they were and they did get to a Champions League semi-final in fairly recent times. Perhaps they have a weak catchment area over a much wider area where people from more distant areas will want to support them. Can't imagine we have much of that.
Deucalion Posted 17 October 2012 Posted 17 October 2012 Helps that Leeds fans are spread across he country while our support is pretty regional In other words, Leeds have lots of ageing glory boys.

Leeds have one of the best away following not only in the league but the country, can't knock um for that
Corky Posted 17 October 2012 Posted 17 October 2012 Leeds have excellent away support, for whatever reason. But ours is respectable and certainly many clubs would want the numbers we are able to take around the country.

Harry - LCFC Posted 17 October 2012 Posted 17 October 2012 Leeds bring plen Leeds have one of the best away following not only in the league but the country, can't knock um for that This is largely due to their massive population, it's not because they're good fans that they bring large numbers, it's because they happen to have a bigger pool to draw support from. If Leicester had 800,000 people living in the city then the club would take more on average than than Leeds which would make us the best in the country. Easy really, have a load of people in your town/city and all of a sudden you've got the best fans in the world. Note: I know I've exaggerated a little with that last statement but that is what is being indicated by many people, Leeds' numbers in terms of fans attending away games is down to population rather than actual quality.
The Year Of The Fox Posted 17 October 2012 Posted 17 October 2012 Quality away end at Cardiff that night. Will never forget the absolute delerium when Kingy made it 3-2 on aggregate. Yep. That split second cut to our fans just shows pandemonium. It'll be a long time til something like that happens again

Ive never lived in leicester but 'committededly' support them?!
fox ache Posted 17 October 2012 Posted 17 October 2012 what they`re saying about tickets........ http://www.smallheathalliance.com/read.php?1,1059431,1059571
lestajigs Posted 17 October 2012 Posted 17 October 2012 Leeds fans are glory hunters! Yea because in the past 10 years they have won everything going
Milton Keynes Fox Posted 17 October 2012 Posted 17 October 2012 "They only brought 1200 last season. Even in the prem they would bring a shit following, never seen them bring anything near 2000. But with their great form and the 2 week break I imagined they'd take a shit load down for Saturday, by the sounds of it they'll have sold the full 4200 by then" Someone has obviously not been doing them away day followings research

WhenYourSmilingLCFC Posted 17 October 2012 Posted 17 October 2012 Dunno what they're on about. They struggle too sell out when they're at home to Villa. I've been two Birmingham v Villa games and neither has been sold out. Will have to wait and see the actual away attendance on Saturday...
Langley Posted 17 October 2012 Posted 17 October 2012 How many did we take to cov last year? 8000 but it was first game of the season.
Corky Posted 17 October 2012 Posted 17 October 2012 I can take stick for our numbers from some but not Birmingham. And we only played them once at St Andrews in the Premiership.
