    ...oh and I forgot to mention it really seems to wind them up if you ask them if they follow a premier league side as well

    One of the biggest population centres in the country, large catchment area due to there not being that many teams around them, the ones that are have traditionally been lower league - looking at it like that their attendances are really bad.

    Yeah, anyway you look at it, they barely get as many as the MASSIVES, yet have a bigger city and only 1 football club in it. You add the attendences for the Pigs and Blunts together, it puts Leeds to shame really.

    Attendances don't win games but it makes things much easier due to the extra money coming into the club and generating more of an atmosphere behind your club.

    To stick up for Leeds, they are very big on rugby. It's quite often one of the other with a place.
