How many are we taking to Leeds?

Recommended Posts

Anyone got any ideas on what our allocation is or how many we''ve sold?

I saw Cardiff were only offered 500 tickets or 1000 with escorted travel so decided to boycott the match, although I understand that''s to do with police concerns about their fans behaviour in previous years, and I doubt we would be subjected to restrictions of that manner.

I would assume in a 38k stadium with an average crowd of 24k that we could have almost as many as we like, however with it being a Tuesday night and a fair old trek from Norfolk, we probably won''t travel in our usual numbers.

I''ve got my tickets, but just wondered if anyone has any ideas on how many of us will be there?

7 cardiff fans made the journey yesterday..they should be given free away tickets and travel to their next game for that!

If they did, then they sat in the "home" section, as there was no away section at all - Cardiff officially declined the allocation so there were no tickets officially available to Cardiff fans.

Fair play to them for doing it though, Cardiff didn''t decide to boycott until Wednesday/Thursday so I''m sure other fans would have made travel arrangements and likely attended in the home end.

Not sure on allocation but when I bought mine last week was told by box office they expected to sell out our allocation

There were 7 or so Cardiff fans and they were in the away section - the club gave special concession to fans who hadn''t missed a game in years and wanted to continue their streak!

According to the football grounds guide there''s an allocation of 3,000 for away fans - we''ll surely not take that many on a ''school night'', but there was a Club offer on for both tickets and travel.

[quote user="Highland Canary"]Can''t do this one but amazed how few we took to Bolton at a weekend. Very disappointing turnout.[/quote]

2,100 in a crowd of 16,027 according to the Bolton Evening News.

I personally think 2100 at Bolton is pretty good given the distance and expense involved, and that the discounted Leeds game is only a few days later. Most people don''t have the cash (or time) to go to every match and have to make choices.

Our numbers have been good this season on the whole but I can''t be the only one a bit annoyed by our lack of noise at times. Big followings at Brighton (particularly bad imo) Birmingham, Forest, Millwall etc and yet only a few little pockets seem to want to get involved! Every away game I''ve been too the pre match concourse atmosphere has been far more entertaining...let''s hope Leeds is better! OTBC

I''ve been to a fair few away games this year and been impressed with the atmosphere at all of them- maybe I''ve just been lucky.

Away support is usually good, apart from the few knobs that turn up!

Just a warning to the poster above and anyone else planning to pay on the gate tonight. It''ll probably cost £39, £5 pay on the gate fee at Elland Road and I assume the £10 discount provided by Norwich won''t apply. If it''s possibly ring the ticket office and pay more while its not too late

GO! I wasn''t going to travel up to Bolton but at last minute I decided to go for it! The best days are always the unplanned days in my experience!
