Matthew Walker is the biggest cockwomblingthudercunt in the world, believe nothing he posts because he makes it all up.
Is it him behind that? |

And he can't use apostrophes correctly. Although perhaps he means "Supporter" in the singular, i.e. just him which is quite feasible

Uneducated, bitter, immature megalomaniac doesn't even get close to describing him. |

Ah sorry I don't know about the ITK account but he is probably behind it. Using his own Twitter to appear to verify his own lies. |

The other thing with Leeds is that they've got a load of artificial support all over the country, stretching back to when they were good in the 70s. That's now filtered into subsequent generations.
I know several people in Swindon who "support" Leeds without having any connection to the city. So the reason, for example, why they'll get 3,000 for a game here is that about half of them will have a shorter trip to the CG than our own fans.
Also, in terms of population, I think it's 3rd in the UK, ahead of places like Liverpool, Manchester and Glasgow. Considering that there's only one club in the city, they're actually very badly supported.
Except to get away tickets at Leeds isnt easy. They go to members first, gold iirc then silver. No point paying for a gold membership on the odd chance of getting an away ticket close to home. Of course Leeds do have fan clubs up and down the country that travel to home games as well where tickets are sold under the same criteria |

No, not when he threatened me with physical violence because I disagreed with him over how big a team Swindon actually were vs how he thought they were. And I am not the only one he has done that to. |

The guy on the Bantams forum posting about one of LP horsies, Griggy. Apparently has won back to back races (Fri & Today)...so, I had a check and Griggy has won but not really brought in any serious money.
His real winner is All Yours, who has won 3 in 7 and landed Power Geneva Ltd nearly £60k. This year alone power Geneva Ltd has achieved nearly £142k. Most success coming from 4yo+ on a/w (14 wins netting c£115k).
This of course is just prize money but if Power has had a flutter or two, could be reason to start tracking what his horses do with what happens at Town (not being 100% serious btw). Certainly gives an interest as to what is going on with LP outside of STFC.

I realise that they sell all their away tickets, but that’s because they’ve got such a massive range of people who want to buy them. Take their Tuesday night game down here a few years ago, for example. Selling 3k+ tickets for a January night game certainly is impressive, but I can say for a fact that at least 8 of those fans live in Wootton Bassett. And the only reason why they got hold of tickets in the first place is because they went on general sale. |

I’m sure it’s not the argument your trying to make, but it reads like your saying Leeds are poorly supported because they have numerous fans all over the country |

I think the point was supposed to be that Leeds only seemingly ‘travel’ in numbers because they have supporters everywhere.
Rather than Leeds away support being the same hardcore x amount who go to every away game.
Which, is quite frankly rubbish. Leeds are a well supported club with a huge number of die hards who travel the country.
