With demand for tickets growing by the day, Leeds United have revealed that a crowd of over 32,000 is already guaranteed, which includes a disappointing allocation of only 2,764 given to Newcastle fans.

However, it could be worse, they threatened to only give us 1,000.

Despite gates dropping as low as nineteen thousand this season, the Newcastle match is clearly one that Leeds fans are desperate to see.

Parts of Elland Road that had been closed off are now being reopened, with home supporters allowed to buy tickets in the East Stand Upper.

It is 13 seasons since the last Leeds v Newcastle league match, in 2009/10 when NUFC dropped into the Championship, Leeds were ‘enjoying’ life in League One.

That 2009/10 season in League One was the last time Leeds United put up the sold out signs for a league match, with 38.234 turning up for the final day of the season against Bristol Rovers as the Yorkshire club made their way back to the Championship.
