Sell Out For Gills Visit

Last updated : 24 April 2008 By Kevin Markey
The club is opening the upper tier of the East Stand for the first time for a football game this year, but tickets for this part of the ground have already all been sold more than a week ahead of the game on Saturday, May 3.

Further tickets may be available to Leeds fans when the weekend's results are known as the club may be able to alter the segregation detail currently in place dependent on how many tickets are sold by Gillingham.

The club will be in touch with Gillingham on Monday to establish the likely level of their ticket sales for the game, but demand from the Kent club could be high as they may need to win to have a chance of staying up.

A Leeds United spokesman said: 'We will announce on Monday if further tickets are available. If there are tickets available they will be put on sale at 9am on Wednesday, April 30 at the ticket office to personal applications only, limited to two per person.'

Gillingham have currently sold just under half of their initial allocation of 1,000, which can rise to 1,800, as it seems most fans are waiting until after they play Swindon to decide whether to make the trip north.

Leeds have said, however, that under no circumstance will both sets of supporters be sharing the same stand to make more tickets available.
