Normally you wouldn't get anywhere near selling Cardiff out midweek, and you sometimes struggle to sell sheff weds out. Very good team at Leeds this season, and I can see you selling out every game.

Forest allocation has been same for the last three seasons I believe.

Yes it has. They can justify it to a degree so far this season because their crowds are up.

 

[LancashireTrotters]

Just under 1,200 of us at West Ham tonight. Smart stadium, but absolutely awful as a football venue.

 

[Brad-Owl]

1,959 tickets sold for midweek trip to Birmingham.

Still 400 tickets left for West lower for Sunday's derby game.

 

[Brad-Owl]

Considering you've had general sale for 5 days and still not sold out , there wouldn't be anymore Wednesday fans in the ground even if you didn't block so many seats off. And as mentioned above if we play again next year and it's the same price there will be less than 30k there for sure.

I'm sure supporters would be more keen to purchase tickets if they were still available for kop or North stand, like I said some are reluctant to buy for West lower to sit below Utd fans.
If we had put United fans in lower tier and we had upper it would have been first area to sell out.

We've sold 780 already for Hull next Tuesday night. Quality deal, £12 tickets and £8 coach travel obviously helps but still a great effort.

Quality effort for Brum, already significantly more than Leeds took there last time they played in midweek

 

[markwwfc1992]

Don't think we've ever done a deal for free travel. £20 for ticket and travel to Hull is very comendable.

Neither have we that I can recall, I probably wouldn't bother anyway if it was a coach, hate them. Preston used to have a football special train when they were sponsored by Virgin, wish we had that.

 

[TomPNE94]

The train was just the same as a coach as it was no alcohol. You can sneak alcohol on both.

Leeds could probably take about 8k at the minute

Fickle

did they sell out at Burnley last night?

 

[Another Walkley Owl]

Fickle

did they sell out at Burnley last night?

Much as I dislike Leeds fans, there is no doubt their away numbers are always quality, especially when they were a shit team.

Yes with absolute ease, coppers wouldn't let them take the pens at that end ffs. They've sold out for Cardiff too midweek apparently

 

[villa loyal]

Leeds away support will have double the interest now they are doing well. They are no different to most other clubs in that if they are doing poorly numbers will drop. Will admit though that their numbers don't drop as much as most clubs would. I'd say they have more fans scattered around the country than everyone else apart from united or Liverpool, so it's no surprise their numbers stay strong away from home.

Very good support for blues away.

Yeah they did and got allocated an extra 500. My mate is a Leeds fan and is a gold(?) member, paid £40 for it and hasn't even managed to get a ticket for any game yet. He's gonna try for Wednesday away Friday morning, should be alright for that.

 

[The Southbank]

I think coach travel to a game would be my idea of hell, especially being surrounded by a load of shirters. Get on the train or hire a minibus, much better laugh.

 

[villa loyal]

Around 450 Sunderland fans at Everton. I'm surprised how low their followings have been this season tbf.

They sold the extra for Cardiff instantly, Cardiff may as well just give them the whole end like they did villa, sure it's the police in charge of that though. Elland road sold out on Saturday too, looks like Leeds will be topping the home and away averages this season as they should be tbf.

If they continue their form and challenging the top places then they 100% will top both. Since getting relegated from prem they have never averaged 30k or more, so it shows how much optimism there is.

 

[markwwfc1992]

Think we've sold all of our away games out so far bar Hull (Tuesday night). Will be curious to see how many we sell at Sheff Utd on a Wednesday night.

 

[JJH]

715 sold for Norwich on Saturday, should edge 1k with POTD.

 

[Sheffsteel]

The max away allocation at BL is now just over 2,200 in the bottom tier.
Wolves are doing well so I would expect you to come close to selling all the tickets,
probably bring around 2K.

 

[SF_]

Sold the initial 982 for Hull, been given an extra 336, no mention of what happens if we sell them.

Not bad that, cheap or not, its a ball ache trip on a Tuesday night.

 

[villa loyal]

Wolves should easily sell out at bramall lane with the form they are in. We've only been allocated 2650 at their place this season because they are doing well, and they can sell out the corner part themselves.

 

[mossypne]

1000 nobbers to Hull on a tuesday night is top effort.

Just think how much optimism there would be if we could spend 70 million on players.

Third time we have played at the Cardiff stadium in midweek and have sold out 2 and had one shit following.
