Newcastle are up there with Liverpooh as some of the most over rated fans in the country. The media seem to love them for some reason, but they're not as good as they're made out.

Wednesday will always travel and generate 20-25 at home thousand regardless. Away support is amongst the best I've ever seen (Watford away when you stopped us winning league) Leeds fans in my opinion are a bit delusional but follow and support regardless, even though I can't stand the club the fans turn out so fair is fair. Aston Villa I see on par with Wednesday good club with a good honest fan base home and away. The rest seem just seem to be caught up in a moment, where the bigger clubs have the roots. As a watford fan thats my take on the best fans in the championship. Special mention for forest aswell quality club, but fans seem to have give up... we are nowhere near on a par with villa as a club or support ......

Eightace Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 Having the most fans doesn't make you the best. A small town club can't take 5k away every week Saying that, Leeds fans have had to put up with some bobbar and they still believe and support the team. Not sure they are the best though cos they have a lot of idiots who let them down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buxtongent Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 is his solely about Championship clubs? Sat in the W'ite car Park last Sat eating my F & C from Chinese, and listening to Donny v Grimsby of radio Sheffield. An early K-O in theth Division between two 'unfashionable' clubs. Grimsby took over 4000 fans to Donny. That's what I call FANS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheEnchanter Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 Lived in Newcastle for uni for a few years and went to St James Park on quite a few occasions. It's amazing how 50,000 people can be so quiet. Nevermind Hillsborough with less than half that. Oh and they only have about 3 songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you consider the size of Leeds and the surrounding area, the fact it is a 1-club city and can call upon nearby places likes Wakefield and Halifax for support as they don't have professional football teams to speak of, their numbers aren't that great.
