..there's always a decent atmosphere.
What I don't understand is their reliance on coach travel. A simple train journey to London, a couple of beers around the station then back up to the 1970's would be a better option, surely? |  |

I'm glad we left it later to score today. Usually we are a couple of goals up against them by the hour mark and they all go quiet. |  | | |

We're Yorkshire men. Coach travel is cheaper. |  | | |

I don't know if there was an accident blocking the road down from Leeds but the coaches didn't get to the ground until around 2.30pm. | |

At least we bring enough to make a noise in the first place. Remind me again how many Ipswich supporters were at Elland Road. | | | |

Held back by the police as far as I'm aware. They always have a rendez-vous point don't they and then bring them all in together? | | | |

Remind us of the respective populations of Leeds and Ipswich. |  |

Possibly but I would have thought the Police would want the visiting fans in the ground well before the Ipswich fans arrived? Unless one coach got held up somewhere and the remainder had to wait for it. | |

Doesn't explain why you bring fewer than 1,000 to Elland Road. Your home gates are not that catastrophic | | | |

I suppose it's because people don't like rocks being chucked at them. | |

Leeds about 750,000

Don't know. Would have to ask the police. But I know I've occasionally missed KO due to the police pratting around. It's why I rarely use coach travel. I don't like to be "organised" by folk who don't give a damn about you. | | | |

A long time since that happened. And you never brought many before that anyway. | | | |

Well I have been there several times, going back to 1969.
But you are right, we do not take huge numbers to Elland Road. |  | | |

Mm, so 1000 of our away fans to 3500 of theirs, seems about right. Funny that.
Then add in all the Leeds fans who live in the rest of the country who don't have to travel as far.... yep, even righterer. | |

Population of catchment areas might be more relevant. But folk are so much more geographically mobile now in any case. | | | |

Remind us your crowds from 3,4,5 years ago. Half empty or at times more than half empty Elland Road. Big club, heh ! |  | | |

180,000 in the Ipswich region and surrounding areas.
Still stacks up that proportionally our support away is bigger than yours. Not that it is as important to me as it seems to be for you. | |

The suggestion that we "go quiet"? The implication that we are not "good supporters"? I'd rather be part of a Leeds away support than an Ipswich away support. That's what difference it makes. | | | |

Of course you would, you support Leeds. | |

Stowmarket was full of them before the game. 6 coaches parked near the station, 3 coach loads at Stow football club all having beers before the game and 4 coaches in Combs Ford. |  | | |

If we sent 1000 and you having 5 times the population, shouldn't you have brought 5,000? | | | |

Leeds are a densely populated place so to get 17k-18k at some matches at Elland Road have been quite embarrassing. | | | |

You generally bring fewer than 1,000. We'd have brought 5,6,7,000 easily if you'd given us the tickets. | | | |
