When it comes to football teams� mobile fan base, one side is flying high � Leeds United. With more fans signed up to receive mobile text alerts than any other League One team, Leeds United has the most dedicated virtual fan-base � that never misses a moment of the action whilst on-the-move.
According to the Orange virtual fan-base league, Leeds United are the seventh most subscribed for team* � and are the only League One side to appear in the top 25 list**. Furthermore, Leeds rake in almost six times as many subscribers as their nearest League One rivals Southampton � and the club has a stronger virtual fan-base than numerous Premier League clubs including Tottenham Hotspur, Aston Villa and Newcastle. Leeds United even have a higher virtual fan-base than national teams; Scotland, Wales and Ireland.
A strong run this season secured automatic promotion for Leeds to the Coca-Cola Championship � and dedicated followers used text alerts to keep up-to-date on their team�s goals, match line-ups, half-time and full-time scores.
The latest findings also reveal that goal subscriptions increased by 11% since last season, with an upsurge of 19% from Leeds United fans specifically � which shows that fans really got behind their team as Leeds United stormed into the Coca-Cola Championship.
Steve Wallage, Head of Sport Partnerships and Services for Orange UK, said: �Mobile alerts are a real barometer of fans� passions and reflect their enthusiasm for receiving team updates while on the move. Every goal scored puts fans� high hopes on the line and tension levels can quickly soar.�
Football fans can also check the latest football results by logging on to sports page on Orange World, the Orange mobile portal.
To subscribe to a football team�s alerts, new and existing customers simply need to text their team name and �goals on� (for example �Leeds United goals on�) to 177. For further information, please visit www.orange.co.uk/sport/football.
