I still think it's more important to try and ensure the camera facing stand is more populated. Now that the West stand is the same price along with what looks like freebies handed out for the North, the East Stand rarely looks anywhere close to full on the TV.

If I was an away team skipper, I'd rather have Wigan running towards their own fans in the first half than in the second.'"
Think the amount of points we stuck on them in the second half makes it a bit of an irrelevance. |

| Quote: Jukesays "No way 80/20
Possibly 50/50
You're right, there should be no issues putting any fans in any stands so there is no need to say its needless, because we could say its needless to let Leeds fans into the west terrace when theres 3 half empty stands at your place (yes I can see a couole of barbed digs at Wigan in your post. We were goading Leeds fans, we were mouthing off at Leeds women and children, but nothing the ither way???).'"
Leeds used to be a big team and bring a good following those days have gone. Hopefully, they will reinvent themselves because we need a good Leeds team in the competition. For a big city team they are very poorly run. I still disagree on a 50/50 split, when the majority legged it with 10/15 minutes to go there were still plenty of fans cheering on the home favourites. |

Bradford in their pomp used to fill the North Stand, Leeds very rarely. |

Far sum unowned reason Huddersfield does the same if they win the toss. |

Leeds away following has always been pretty poor, certainly in ratio terms to their home support. I've always wondered why but it's impossible to work out. |
