    Only 182 seats left for this game. East Stand sold out, 20 in West Lower and West Upper practically full barring space on either of the end blocks. Hopefully the kid stand will be full too. And a better atmosphere than today! Hope all had a great Christmas!

    Can't understand why we only had 20,000 today in such an important game, and now against the Saville Boys we will be getting a bigger crowd.

    Defies logic.

    Not really, people still have family commitments today. Im sure the financial side makes it hard for people to do both games too, Leeds is always abig game that gets afew for fans out to be fair.

    20,000 is a hell of an improvement on the usual though - hopefully a sign of things to come.

    As I'm temporarily back in Hull I tried to book a Leeds ticket a few hours ago - after surfing through all options I'd say there's less than fifty tickets left.

    If you're collecting from the ticket office - get in early! The ticket office queue today for people collecting tickets was huge. Most people 15/20 minutes late into the ground.

    Knowing my luck there'll probably be no queue and I'll have to sit there for an extra 30 minutes for no reason! Not worth the risk mind - cheers.

    I'm sorry to say I had nothing better to do tonight than sit on my iPad counting the empty seats! <laugh>

    I thought there looked far more than 20,321 today. If that gate is correct then where would the other 5 thousand go ? :undecided:

    Yes. It caused chaos for people trying to park there cars. TWS game looks like being a sell out. Hope the segregation clowns dont waste too many seats. :bandit::emoticon-0101-sadsm

    Why does it defy logic? For the 90% of clubs who don't fill their ground for every home game, the more local matches have always attracted the biggest crowds.

    Its like our biggest crowd will probably be against Udders this season.

    Very logical to me.

    Only given 3,100? They are only entitled to 2,500. The poor design of the KC where the aisles don't fit with the facilities on the concourse means we have to give away seats our fans could have and the useless local plod's insistence on more segregation than anywhere else cuts the number of seats even more.
    Other grounds manage with one aisle way between fans. Why do,we need about 20 rows of seats?

    You can always spend the extra 30 minutes queuing up for a drink in the concourse. :emoticon-0101-sadsm

    Just 40 tickets left(single) barring the South Stand. I think it's ridiculous that that's a full family area, maybe only part of it. What's the betting that full area is empty at the bottom as usual.

    I could not see 5,000 empty seats, do we not count the away fans anymore or something? i swear there must have been 23,000 at Leicester

    Nah, they where gaps in South, West, Upper West and North. 20,321 looked about right to me

    Lesster are pushing for promotion - unlike you lot.

    The game against them was the most important so far this season. A genuine six pointer against a tough opponent and a well-run club.

    Compare and contrast with you lot: mid table mediocrity, hallucinating fans who believe their 'club' us still a 'big' one and the stench of police horse **** and piggy overkill that always accompanies the visit of the Blubberhouses and Rastrick Whites.

    Man City are pushing for the title and have some of the best players in the world but the Stadium of Light wasn't full.

    However, I can pretty much guarantee that it will be full when they play a team below mid table who play in black and white stripes.

    Does that defy logic?

    And for the record, would you have given up on chasing promotion if your team was 3 points off the play offs at the halfway stage. In my book, that is pushing for promotion. But I'm only thinking logically.

    I was only explaining the reality of how footy fans work Agro.

    I think that Proschwitz will play from the beginning in the derby. Simpson on the bench

    Leeds will bring twice as many as Leicester and that will make up the majority of the increase.
