    Depends how far back you go really.

    e.g in the 1920/30s Millwall were the 5th best supported club in the country.
    Leeds were just a small Rugby club

    In the 40s and 50s we were a league below Leeds with attendances double in size.

    It wasn't until the population boom when we opened our doors to our Commonwealth friends in India and Pakistan that the crowds of West Yorkshire teams Bradford and Leeds grew bigger.

    Millwall are probably the most historic of the sleeping giants whereas Leeds aren't old enough to be called anything really!!
