Looking forward to Sky Sports posing the question to viewers on "who is the biggest club ?", Leeds United 
or Portsmouth.
or Portsmouth.
Sarcasm.

Obvious really.All 100,000 Leeds United season ticket holders wont be able to go to watch the game so every pub with Sky Sports in West Yorkshire, in fact the world, will be packed to the rafters for this one.
Right.....I'll say this really slowly and simply and then maybe this won't keep happening for the next 100 years, although these threads show no sign of slowing any time soon...
Leeds have a BIG (meaning lots of people) fanbase for a Championship side.
Sky are a BUSINESS (company that likes to make lots of money). The MORE people that watch, the BETTER for Sky.
Now, what was the need for the thread again?

Why don't they go to Elland Road, then. It was half empty when we beat them last August.
They're not even the biggest team in Yorkshire now.

We have had a bigger average attendance than them now for last three seasons although the gap is narrowing.
Last year 25,644 compared to their 24,051.
Leeds were the 4th biggest attended club in the Champ last season.
If thats a Burnley reference then their average attendance last season was 19K.
Sky couldn't care less about in-ground attendance if the at-home viewing attendance is plentiful.

I live in Sussex and I know at least 10 Leeds fans ...not just followers, fans that could name their whole team and hang on their results. Leeds are a well followed club whether we like it or not. Its a 1970s hang over, when I grew up in Surrey in the early 70s every other boy was a Leeds fan!!

I also know 3 enthusiastic Leeds fans in Sussex.
I also have to confess that I too was a Leeds fan as a youngster, I joined their fan club, made my own replica shirt with a sewn on LUFC badge, had posters of Tony Currie, Billy Bremner and Alan Clarke etc on my wall. I lived overseas at the time and had no "roots" in the UK. As soon as I ended up at boarding school in Sussex, age 10, and found out that Brighton was my local football team, I decided that they would become my team. And they have been ever since.

To be fair they have a very big fan base all over the country, not just in Leeds. This is the reason that they always take, and sell, their full away allocation at the Amex, even though it's usually a weekday evening match.

We've got two in our own team. They both play in goal.
