As it happens, I'm definitely a good deal more interested in the fortunes of the team itself and related issues such as attendances this season than I have been since 2012, but nowhere near enough to go to a game. That's still a long way off I reckon.

By the way, we all know how big a club Leeds are. Why don't you go on the Wednesday messageboard? Similar sized club and support.

the fact that cardiff had 5,6,7,000 fans or season ticket holders that had already paid and then decided not to turn up beggars belief. they is a difference between been a fairweather fan and going occasionally, and fans shelling hundreds of pounds out and then deciding they were not going anymore because they had been relegated, or that the colour of their shirts were the wrong colour. http://www.ccmb.co.uk/images/smiley_icons/hehe.gif you dont shell money out for season tickets until you know whether you are going or not. http://www.ccmb.co.uk/images/smiley_icons/thumbup.gif

No one is denying that the crowds were overestimated but for paying customers they were probably right.Get it? Now I know we probably had s/t holders purely for the fact they wanted to watch premiership football, when that wasn't on offer they never came. Also I knew guys that never turned up as they were fed up with what was on offer and what was happening with the club. Think we are all realistic about that.

Interestingly, Leeds hold the record for the fastest fan exodus of any club when they recorded league attendances of 56796 and 9006 in the same season!

they certainly as never been a case where a discrepancy of of 6-7,000 as ever happened. i have been to leeds games where 6-7,000 have been outside trying to get inside the ground. and that was back in the seventies. when leeds were the best side in this country. http://www.ccmb.co.uk/images/smiley_icons/thumbup.gif

cardiff added supporters on to their attendances last season, because they had paid for tickets but did not turn up, which is ridiculous in my opinion. http://www.ccmb.co.uk/images/smiley_icons/thumbup.gif
