Talksport stating yesterday that Leeds are one of the biggest Clubs in the

[6inarow]

Country, Ray Houghton and a few others giving big licks all over them yet Ive just checked their history and according to this List of Leeds United F.C. seasons - Wikipedia they have never had a season average over 40,000, Just goes to show how massively overlooked we are as a place / city / club

I think we'll beat them on Saturday.

Its not all about attendance you know

 

[Roger]

They are one of the biggest clubs.

Other than europe Leeds record is shit compared to Sunderlands including attendances.

 

[Tin Soldier]

They are one of the biggest clubs.

Followed by the biggest *****

 

[Lord Alfred]

For people my age they were a massive club from back in the 70’s and still a big club into the early 2000’s. The capacity has been under 40k for a while and no-one was getting big crowds back in the 80’s...we were getting 10k crowds back then. Their record crowd of 57k was against us back in 1967.

They are one of the biggest clubs.

Elland Road has nothing close to it to allow expansion, they could easily expand to 50/60000 plus but by the look of their history they havent got the core support for such a big city....not that big in my opinion

They have never (in 100 years) had an average attendence of over 40,000

Biggest set of kernts in football, pig ignorant people.

Their history should be akin to one of the biggest clubs in England, unforgivably for them, they didn’t achieve half of what they should have in the 70’s.

That team which Bridges was a part of before it all went pop was some team mind.

 

[walesie]

I can see elland road from my window at work, proper shit hole.
Huge population around here which should be enough to sustain a genuinely massive clue but its not a footballing region like the north east.

Worked wonders for us last season mind.

So do I!

[Father Jack Hackett]

Thrure historically (well, 60s onwards) a massive club with the potential to be again but then so are we.

 

[Paolo's Right Hand]

That's not a mock funeral I see there is it? Surely not!

 

[clockstandpaddock]

You would have laughed when I said we'd beat Derby as well

 

[Arkle]

From 64/5 to 73/4, they never finished outside the top 4 in Division 1, won it twice, 2nd 5 times, 3rs once, 4th twice. In the same period, they won the FA Cup once, were runners up 3 times and were beaten semi-finalists twice. They also reached European finals five times (winning two) and were semi-finalists twice as well and then, in 74/5, the season that started their decline, they reached the European Cup final. Unless you supported them, they were probably your least favourite club, aside from your local rival, but they were as close to the dominant team in England for that decade or so.

They were a big club fifty years ago. Yippee.
