Greatest Football atmosphere of all time?
"Leeds United have the best fans" lmfao.
Tom Lees says the play-off semi final first leg win over Brighton at Hillsborough was by far the best atmosphere he has experienced.
Owls fans literally lit up Hillsborough to create amazing scenes in front of the live Sky Sports cameras and roared Wednesday on to a crucial victory.
The Owls now head to Brighton on Monday with a 2-0 lead and reflecting on the events, Lees said:
“It was absolutely unreal, it was the best atmosphere I’ve played in by a mile
“A few of us were talking after the game about when the lights went on the phones all around the stadium. It gave us goosebumps.

Hillsborough
“At one point, when the whole stadium was bouncing, I could see on the pitch the flood-lights in the stadium were actually moving.
“It just shows how much noise and how much passion the fans have because they were physically moving the lights. It was unreal.”

Awe-inspiring.
I know Leeds United fans always get crowned the most passionate and loyal, but Wednesday fans surpass them imo. We always get bigger home averages and take just as many away. Every game is treated as a cup final.

Matthew, you claimed it, I called bull****. Like usual, you were proved wrong.
As I said, attendance is down, I know i havent been going due to the moron in charge, normal service will resume when we get some one with some morals in charge.

I claimed, tongue in cheek, Sheffield always get bigger attendances and away followings than Leeds and thus Leeds best fan reputation is undeserved. How does your link in any way highlight Leeds as consistently having the bigger home gates?
Daft buggers.
Just been having a look at Championship attendances through the ages, Leeds and Owls are pretty much 50/50 in all honesty, Newcastle averaged 43,000 in 2009/10 which is pretty impressive.

Steel City derby ftw!
I always though the Leeds v Wednesday derby deserved more interest but tbh they've never been that passionate. It's rare either side comes close to filling the away end when it's been fully allotted.

Best atmosphere I've ever been in was at Hillsborough too......
24/01/1970, FA cup fourth round, Sheffield Wednesday 1, Scunthorpe United 2.
They were old First division, we were old Fourth. Kevin Keegan was playing for us.
Steel production in Scunthorpe hit a record high the next day, which has never been bettered.

Last year when Wakefield scored a try in the last tackle of the game to stave off relegation takes some beating, never seen celebrations like it.

I can only comment on a game i've been too, the champions league final in 1999 when United beat Bayern Munich 2-1. The atmosphere was unreal when United equalised in the in the 90th minute, the Nou Camp was rocking quite literally and when they got the winner 2 mins later iv'e never heard noise like it.

Surely when Arsenal beat Liverpool in the last minute to pop them to the title in 1989..."Thomas, charging through the midfield... it's up for grabs now... Thomas, right at the end!"
Still the best finish to a league title season ever
