Well i think in East Anglia's case its a combination of; 1) Lots of people having no local team to automatically support - which was partly the case with me - no club within 20 miles. 2) Kev who runs the EA branch 'persuading' people to come with us.
Though the branch is very much in line with the rest of Leeds support nowadays - lots of 40 odd year old blokes.

There seems to be a lot of random no obvious link brummie and "fenland/peterbourgh area" leeds fans. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of David Brennan Sent: 24 August 2009 12:13 To: '[email protected]' Subject: [LU] local support Been on holiday in Suffolk recently, and whilst in Framlingham I thought it was nice to see in the window of the local sportswear shop a big Ipswich Town flag and Ipswich Town kit on display. Ipswich is after all their local big club. Compare this to the main sports shop in Leeds city centre which has scum, chelsea scum, arse, and cesspool kits hanging in its window and behind the counter, with not a Leeds shirt in sight! Disgusting. Although to be fair it's not all bad in Leeds, as HMV in the White Rose do have a Leeds section, even if it does seem a bit odd in between all the DVDs and CDs. I also had a chat with home kit wearing Leeds fan in Southwold, which was nice. He came from Norwich and said there's a big Leeds contingent there. I'm familiar with the East Anglia Branch. I wonder why Leeds is so popular there?
