Sold Out Signs Hammered On The Door

Saints have sold the last few remaining tickets for the visit of West Ham United.

Saints will get there first 30k plus crowd of the season for the top of the table clash with West Ham United at St Mary's this evening, hopeflly topping the 31,653 who saw the Walsall game at the end of last season, although whether it will top the 32k mark that truly represents a fully sold out stadium will depend on the sales in the corporate areas.

But assuming a gate of around 31,500 this would push the average attendance at St Mary's well over the 25,000 mark for the season so far, a good total but one that it would really be nice to see us maintain over the coming months when teams of not such a high interest level play here.

Hopefully those stay away fans that are coming tonight and havent been much over the last year will see a good entertaining game that will encourage them to come back again, this team deserves more than the 23,900 average it currently has going into the game and if we as supporters want to see the team stay at the top and perhaps strengthened in the January transfer window then we have to get right behind it and support it week in week out, not just for the backing that will help the team, but for the extra income that it will bring into the club and can be used to strengthen.

Late Drama at Hull: Leeds Held to a Draw After Meslier's Costly Error
Leeds seemed to be cruising to victory after turning the game around in the second half, but this match will be remembered for the error from Meslier that allowed Hull City back into the game, and ultimately cost us another two points on the road.
Hull Awaydaze
This season’s trip to Hull City is on Saturday, with a rare kick off at 3pm. You’ll find the stadium now known as the MKM a mile or so to the west of Hull city centre.
Fatigue or Fortune? Leeds Held to Draw by Resilient Blackburn
It was a disappointing end to the holiday season as Leeds took most of the game to break down a stubborn Blackburn Rovers side, and then allowed our opponents to grab a late equaliser. It won’t be a game that will live long in the memory.
Top of the Table: Leeds finish 2024 at the summit after Stunning Team Goal!
Once again we dominated the possession in an away game, but struggled to make it count. That was before a superb team goal in the 79th minute finally broke through the Derby County defence, and that proved to be enough to ensure that we finish 2024 on top of the Championship table.
Farke Seeks Improvement Despite Comfortable Win in the Fog
Even though we went back to the top of the table Daniel Farke thought we should have won more comfortably, but we were more than good enough to beat a woeful Stoke City. For the third time in 2024 a Leeds win cost an opposing manager his job, after Narcis Pelach was called in to collect his P45 yesterday morning.
Derby Awaydaze
Our first visit to Derby County four five years is at 5.45pm tomorrow, which has of course been dictated by Sky Sports. We’re not famous any more!
Stoke Awaydaze
Our visit to Stoke City is on Boxing Day evening, with kick-off at 8pm, having been put back by our very good friends at Sky Sports.
From Frustration to Relief: Leeds United Equalise in Dramatic Final Moments
We should have been playing against ten men for over half this game, but in the end Leeds had to be content with a point after forcing a very late equaliser against Preston North End.
Preston Awaydaze
Our visit to Deepdale is on Saturday, with a 12.30pm kick off, and once again we’re live on Sky Sports. As the name Preston North End suggests, the stadium is a mile or so to the north of the town centre.
Leeds keep home run going against lively Middlesbrough
This time we were made to work hard for our home win, but two late goals proved to be enough to take the points against Middlesbrough.
