Leeds


They wouldn’t. To say they would be in the lower bowl would never get approval.



Course it would. Away fans went in there for years. They'll be back down there next season as well. It's a modern stadium which is easily adaptable. Police would probay prefer it. Thats where the control room is and the cells as well. As it happens they'll get 6k in the upper by the looks of it.
15% isn't it?

We gave them 6,000 odd the last time.

15% is the rule which is 7,200 at the SoL. I think we gave Everton that for the QF Replay but reckon Leeds will get slightly less than that as they'll be upstairs and the first few rows of their allocation will be blocked off.

Other clubs manage it. Man City, Man Utd, Liverpool, Mags, Arsenal, have all been able to hand out 7k+ allocations in line with what the visiting club are entitled to so don't see why we can't do the same. We'd be screaming for the 15% if we'd been drawn away, and rightly so.

Other clubs haven’t had to go to the EFL and seek their agreement that additional security measures can be implemented due to issues with objects being thrown onto home fans, though mate.

Sadly, we are all still paying the price for the previous regimes away allocation policy in league 1.

Fwiw, I actually agree that they should be given a proper allocation (if we get through) but I can’t see it unless they shift them to the South Stand.

Think Leeds would point to their previous record of having their fans above home fans at placed like Newcastle, even Man Utd who they hate and of course here with few incidents. They would rightfully argue that the actions of Burnley, Coventry or various tinpot league One clubs is nothing to to with them and that they've also had 6k in the upper tier in the past here without incident.

Not giving away teams what they're entitled to will ultimately lead to a tit for tat situation where we stop getting what we are entitled to on the road.

Leeds can argue as much as they want really, but ultimately they won’t push for anything that goes against safety advice.

They will rightly, however, blame us for a reduced allocation.

In the event of a replay it would be tit for tat and they would just reduce our allocation on safety grounds meaning a lot of our fans would miss out. All a bit silly really. Thev've had big numbers up there before with few problems.
