thats a good point to make but you have to take into account the ticket prices too. when leeds went down from the premiership the ticket prices stayed the same £30-£40 a ticket for championship football ( and those tickets stayed the same price until march this year. now leeds averaged about 20,000 a game this season and i think that is a fairly good attendance considering the price. would you pay £30 to go see your team against (not trying to disrepect any fans of these clubs) teams such as southend or luton etc.... i personally wouldnt pay that sort of money to watch anyone in the championship as its shite football. its a very hard league to get out of as its very negative football.im sure it was the same with other teams too.

but i agree with the point that you lose attendance when your team is doing shit. look at wigan this season. i see there game the other week on MOTD and the ground was half empty. but when they was leading the championship and last season when they were playing well they had full houses.

i would say its very hard to judge who is the most loyal set of fans in the country as there are so many teams with great support. and supporters of lower league clubs will more than likely support one of the "big" clubs too (as they win stuff) i will support leeds till i die whether thats good for my health or not LOL but i will have a soft spot for man city as i spent 3 years there as a kid and i thoroughly enjoyed my time there and havent a bad word to say against the club or its support.
