United fans confirmed their status as best by far in the Football League last weekend.
Elland Road saw the biggest crowd in League One by a considerable margin, and also the biggest crowd in the entire Football League.
Our attendance of 24,036 was almost 7,000 bigger than the next highest in League One - Swansea attracted 17,220 for their game with Forest - and over 15,000 bigger than the next highest, 8,671 for Millwall against Cheltenham.
The biggest Championship crowd was 24,004 for Norwich's home game against Southampton while Sheffield Wednesday and Coventry City were the only other clubs to attract gates of over 20,000.
We also had a bigger crowd four Premiership clubs - Fulham, Portsmouth, Reading, and Wigan - and only marginally less than Birmingham, for their game with West Ham, and Blackburn, who entertained Arsenal.
Our crowd, which included 638 Southend fans, was also bigger than that for the first home game last season against Norwich, just two months after the Championship Play-Off final.
The biggest and loudest chant of the day was 'f* off to the Football League' which made Dennis Wise smile.
