Southampton Away Support Numbers Still Healthy
This season has seen Saints get great backing at both home and away matches, despite relegation from the Premier League and following the good numbers that followed the team to Stoke City the next three away games are looking good.
The first of the road trips is the long trek to Hull City on Saturday, despite it being an almost 500 mile round trip Saints fans have snapped up all but a 100 or so seats of the 2,239 allocation.
But the hard core that go to all the away games face another long trip next Wednesday when we face another trip of a similar distance when we travel to Deepdale to take on Preston North End, there we have been allocated 1,968 tickets and it would seem that around the 1,400 mark have been sold so far.
After that comes the trip to South East London to take on Millwall, a much shorter trip and that has reflected in the number of tickets sold, the initial 2,000 tickets went quickly and the club obtained a further 1,000 to bring the total up to 3,005 and the final ones were sold this morning, meaning that the sale didn't get past season ticket holders only.
This is great support, especially the trip to Deepdale next week, truly one for the die hard fans in the supporter base.
Hopefully they will get the performance that this support deserves and we get the points that will push us up into the play positions and another step forward.
What to read next:
Leeds reject offer from Gray but are still likely to lose himThe proposed deal to sell Archie Gray to Brentford has collapsed at the eleventh hour, but with Leeds needing to make sales to comply with FFP, it’s likely that we will sell him to one of the other clubs who are on his case. Chelsea, Tottenham Hotspur and Aston Villa have all been mentioned.
Leeds start 2024/5 on a Saturday lunchtimeThe fixture list for the new season was announced this morning, and Sky TV have got their talons into it already. Our opening game is at 12.30 at home to Portsmouth, as inconvenient as that is for the away fans travelling up from the south coast.
Should they stay or should they go?Leeds United have issued the retained list for the 2024/5 season, and while much of it confirms what we already know, on the face of it there are a couple of surprises.
Can Red Bull help Leeds to fly back to the top?Today Leeds announced that Red Bull have bought a minority stake in the club, and will take over as the main shirt sponsor, but thankfully there will be no change in the name of the club or the colour of the shirt.
Marathe admits that PSR is likely to force player salesThe 49ers have plenty of cash available to invest in Leeds United, but defeat in the 49th game of the League season means that some key players will be leaving to keep the club with the Profitability and Sustainability (PSR) regulations.
Wembley AwaydazeAs you probably know already, our play-off final against with Southampton kicks off at 3pm on Sunday. And if you didn’t manage to get your hands on a ticket, it’s live on Sky Sports.
