We love to hear the pundits talk about how Leeds are the biggest club outside the Premier League, but how is that measured? By attendances? Ground capacity? History and past glories? Or is it measured by the passion of its fans? What never fails to amaze me when I look at other clubs' posts on ja606 is the apparent apathy/disinterest, call it what you like, but basically the lack of activity on most of the other Championship teams' ja606 sites. I don't get that – what's not to love about chatting with fellow fans on here about upcoming matches, transfer activity, team selections, post-match analysis? There's never a shortage of this stuff on the Leeds Utd site but here are the number of ja606 articles posted in 2019 by all the teams in our division – what does it tell us? Answers on a postcard please...
Aston Villa - 6
Birmingham - 3
Blackburn - 0
Bolton - 15
Brentford - 1
Bristol City - 5
Derby County - 79
Hull City - 2
Ipswich Town - 1
Leeds United - 369
Middlesbrough - 3
Millwall - 1
Norwich City - 3
Nottingham Forest - 40
Preston North End - 3
Queen's Park Rangers - 10
Reading - 4
Rotherham - 2
Sheffield United - 2
Sheffield Wednesday - 2
Stoke City - 3
Swansea City - 16
West Bromwich Albion - 6
Wigan Athletic - 2

Proof my bum.
I've noticed this trend over the years, what you lot do is create threads for whatever just to put one over the other depending of your train of thought be it defeat or win, good player, bad player etc etc and deffo etc.
While we and I speak for the rams board as there are feck all else to get excited about means feck all.
Now smart boy, why don't you ask admin which board has the most 'comments' , not "articles" since its inception and then come back with the most passionate fans.
We keep ours to one article while you lot, I have to do one and yet harness 3 fecking comments.
Go on big man, do it.

I think the difference is that Derby fans, for instance, tend to have most of their after match discussion on the matchday thread, whereas Leeds fans tend to make a few threads with their reactions.
I still think we have the better fans, and are probably the most active championship club on this site, but I don't think this thread is the right way to quantify the former.

Not only are we the biggest club the division has ever seen we are smaller than only a handful of Prem clubs and not that many globally.
We are a huge club with a fanbase that dwarfs many. In this day and age of ease of access. Once Leeds are back in the Prem...IF rather. We shall not only see the full effect of our massive global fanbase, we shall see it grow exponentially.
Footballing institution.

only reason we have to create more articles is because there is so many of us contributing and it gets very hectic keeping it to one thread
when theres only 5 of you on the site you could keep it to one thread
