    Both west ham and Leeds have fantastic away following.

    Heard west ham took over watford
    And Doncaster For night games and are on course for being best supported club this season.

    How have Leeds been doing this season?

    Lets see what west ham support will be like when theyve been eight years out of premiership. I suspect lots of them will be season ticket holders by then at the emirates, white hart lane or stamford bridge

    Don't talk ****. We are renouned for being loyal and we won't ever be 8 years outside of the top flight.History and the present tells you that.
    Our support clearly don't follow the club for glory cos we've had **** all glory for over 30 years.

    Your fans may not move onto other more successful clubs, but if you don't go back up in the next 3 or 4 years they sure as hell won't be showing up to games in the same numbers.

    We almost bounced back up at the second attempt. Granted we were in a financial mess but if you don't go up this season then it'll be a lot harder to go up next season and any subsequent seasons.

    We've sold out or been within 100 seats of selling out all our games, I believe. West Ham will fall short in long-distance games like Middlesbrough where they don't have local support to boost their numbers like we do, say, on the South Coast. So I think we'll shade it come the end of the season. They are very good though, it can't be disputed. <ok>

    Surprised that Leeds claim to have the best away support in the Uk of they can't sell out their allocations..

    Were you aware that you paid for 1000 seats which you didn't sell for your last away game?

    You've both got good away support, I'm not sure a pissing competition is really necessary.

    Shouldn't you be more concerned about the decline of your own side, I can see your gates dwindling very soon? Will you be able to survive without the Champions League revenue?

    Could've swore that Mowbray just said "over 3,000 away fans here today, the biggest since weeds were in the premiership"

    You northern mugs need to get used to standing in the footsteps of giants

    Or their home games!!!

    Cockneys, Ignore the Wessies. No matter how much support, success or money a team would have, in their tiny minds, it'll never beat the "Mighty" leeds united.
    They really are that deluded!
    See you at your place on 28th April. Dare say we'll bring a few- could be a promotion party??? (When did a follower of TWS last say that??? &#128521; )
