Not saying we have sold many, if any more. But the initial tickets seemed to sell quickly and only slowed down when the restricted view tickets came up. I do wonder if they hadn't be restricted view if more would have gone. 

Just looked and the train is £140 , that and restricted view isn't much of a draw. Might have been cheaper earlier, but quite often seems well over £100 if you travel North of Brum, though TBF I think I paid £63 for Leicester.

Cross Country Trains have a monopoly on the route and never fail to be exorbitantly expensive. When we come down to you for the two of us it can cost as much to get a hotel and drive as it would to get a train and that's with a Two Together.

And to be honest if I wanted to watch my team and make the time and cash commitment having to peer around a pillar on odd occasions wouldn't stop me, but I might be unusual in that regard

As an aside, this is nothing to do with Leeds in particular I would personally speaking prefer 2k to away fans verbatim from a home advantage perspective.

Either tucked into a corner of the Atyeo or solely the Upper bit. Maybe segregation and then some home fans. Not possible in the Cup due to allocation regs there but I wouldn't mind tbis in the League, a whole end where a lot are likely to stand and sing behind a goal..it helps a lot. Especially when our Safe Standing is in a corner, abour 1,200 strong.

Fans have to be offered a pitch side sport now don't they? Unless you're Newcastle when you have a special exemption. Or is that just in the PL?

TBH home fan advantage is vastly over-rated. Sometimes it's even counter-productive if the crowd gets nervous or angry. Good teams lose more than they win regardless of crowds. Just on very odd occasions, as mentioned by someone earlier, an up swell of chanting can change momentum a bit but players mainly say they don't really hear the crowd anyway.

I expect Leeds will get 3k, perhaps even as much as 3.4k at AG.

Not everyone has filled it mind you- I thought WBA would have done and maybe Stoke too given the whole free travel thing albeit offset by a not great start.

We'll sell what you give us (within reason, of course!). It was really odd only having 2,000 or so last time we came with all that covering at the front of the stand.

I think we’ve done very well so far this season. 
Millwall - Sold Out. 
Swansea - Sold Out. 
Leicester - Sold Out. 
 

The other 2 so far have been Hull on a Friday night and Rotherham on a Wednesday night and on Sky. 
 

I’d guess the next few really ought to be :

Leeds - Sold Out. 
Cardiff - Sold Out. 
QPR - we usually sell out. 
Southampton - we should sell out. 
 

So that would be 7 of 9 sell outs, with 2 very understandable exceptions. 
 

Don't want to be pedantic but you've sold the upper tier.

You could have had nearly 3,000 but as the restricted view seats upstairs haven't sold out (about 70 left) they gave the 900 downstairs to us instead.

Still a good turnout, but not a sell out in the strictest terms.

That has to be a good thing.

I can't bear the same old songs trotted out over and over again. Their boring songs are only topped by that pathetic monotone dreary effort about a certain Prozzy sang by web-toed, six fingered, sister shagging  quarter wearing few.

Can't wait to hear your repertoire tomorrow

Best mate a leeds season ticket holder was saying a lot of clubs have cut there allocation they give leeds this year 

I don't think that we've had allocation cuts because it's us, but overall it seems that there are fewer tickets available in many grounds, due to demand from the home teams.

We've played no-one yet who has given us an allocation above 3,000 (Southampton), and Millwall, Birmingham, Ipswich and Hull gave us about 2,000. So our figure represents easy sell outs, but limited allocations.

Not wishing to sound like a brag (it's just a statement of fact) to get a Millwall ticket you had to attend 20 out of 21 games (including cups) away from home last season to have even half a chance as a home season ticket holder (priority). Stoke is just about to go on sale for members* and Away Season ticket holders and away 'super fans' (who attended 100 away games over a five year period), take  up 1,100 of the 2,600 tickets.

Demand is still insane and shows no sign of dropping away, at least not for away games. It helps having a supporter base spread around the country.

City's sales for tomorrow are really pretty good really, and the reciprocal pricing is to be welcomed, though it represents far more of a saving for you than it does us due to the silly prices we charge.

There are 260 tickets available for members. As of now there are 2,600 members trying to buy tickets.

Patrick Bamford may be missing on Saturday

What a load of rubbish. The QPR squealing on this has been astonishing.

He even puts his hands up to tell the referee no contact was made. What should he have done, let the studs smash his shin?

Any keeper going at pace like this should be sent off.

If we play like the arrogant t**ts that went down to Southampton or the directionless team last night and you could very well put one in the win column.

The reaction to our performance on forums has been totally out of proportion to what was  a pretty dull, solid, performance.

You mention arrogance within the team at Southampton - sadly it's a minority of our fans who are arrogant enough to think we are promotion certs, despite all the headwinds the club faced in August. 

I think Saturday will be an entertaining game, but in this league who knows the likely outcome?
