Claverham_Red Posted September 27, 2016 Report Share Posted September 27, 2016 Really can't wait for a crowd of 25k on a night fixture. Atmosphere will be incredible. Well done to the fans tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

North London Red Posted September 27, 2016 Report Share Posted September 27, 2016 Over 5,000 more than Cardiff too. I have to say, Leeds bringing over 2,000 fans on a Tuesday night (to a ground they've played at several times in recent years) is very impressive. Not many teams would bring so many fans such a long way in similar circumstances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sglosbcfc Posted September 28, 2016 Report Share Posted September 28, 2016 Would Sheffield United v Rovers be the second highest crowd? The Blades did benefit from 8,000 travelling Sags I would guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have been in the lower leagues for years and still have a greater superiority comlex than any Newcastle or villa fan. Yet to come across a club with such a high percentage of ***** supporting them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt if too many many of their fans came from Leeds, they have a massive fan base all over the country, heard plenty of them with Welsh, Cockney and even Bristolian accents Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well 2 of them were from my workplace, I suspect that due tot he 70's / 80's they have a lot of local fans, as well as ex-pats down here.. can't fault them taking the opportunity to come see their team when they come visit us Southern/Western'ers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grey Fox Posted September 28, 2016 Report Share Posted September 28, 2016 The Leeds travelling support is impressive, I went to a Tuesday night match last season, Brighton v Leeds, it was near the end of the season and Leeds had nothing to play for but still took over 2000 there to what must be their furthest fixture.

Bar BS3 Posted September 29, 2016 Report Share Posted September 29, 2016 1 hour ago, cynic said: I hope so. But after all the games lately and coming a few days after the Leeds game, its asking a lot for POTD supporters given the high cost of tickets. There will be loads who would have chosen to see either the Leeds or Forest game but not both. This is where a bit of imaginative thinking comes in - if there are two home games in a week, offer them as a package with a discount. It's in a whole new payday period for most people. I wonder if that will mean a higher POTD turn out.? I agree that it would be good to do a 2 game package when we get 2 in a week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact we`ve only got three home games after Forest before December, Blackburn, Brighton (on TV) and Hull in the cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BS4 on Tour... Posted September 29, 2016 Report Share Posted September 29, 2016 We're 5th in the division, we've won 3 and drawn 1 of our last 4 games, we've only lost 1 of our last 8 games, we've got Tammy Abraham, we've got a brill stadium in our heartland and the stadium has superb facilities including bars which dispense alcohol......I reckon we'll have a fine attendance on Saturday...
