Apparently the dirty Leeds have been given an allocation of 8,500 according to the Yorkshire evening post.

Well with us, the tiny totts, Wham, Chelsea, Millwall all at home there will be some serious rejigging going on with the Met Police, particularly with Leeds fans in town too - and Barnsley will be travelling down from that neck of the woods.

Leeds, Millwall, West Ham, Birmingham and possibly Luton in town at the same time is not a good idea.

should up the atmosphere up there.i remember a couple seasons ago when cardiff had upstairs by the end of the game they were throwing coins over at us.

might make it feel like an away game for me. nearly every away game i seem to get put right on the segregation line. (looks like the same for utd away im seat 1)

Long way from selling out. I forgot to get on early and only bought my tickets about an hour ago and loads of choice.

Now watch the fuckers put us on Monday night.

Still a bit wierd to me that Arsenal have started selling tickets while date/time are still not known....! Why the rush....or what's the delay?

Good that we're forcing Leeds to share some of the pain of paying upper tier prices. Don't know why we don't do that for all away teams.

Why don't we put away fans in the upper tier?

Because chances are there'd be a fair number of away fans who wouldn't pay the upper tier prices resulting in less income for the club. Whereas us mug Arsenal sheep will happily pay whatever ridiculous amount it is to sit up there...

Leeds will need to underwrite their allocation so will have to pay.

Also if you go on the Leeds website they have said that they cannot guarantee which price band of tickets will be allocated to applicants

Said this a number of times on the official forum. The way the stadium is designed you cannot shift the away fans to the upper tier with out going through the home fans in the lower tier. Its an architectural issue I'm afraid

How do you suggest this can happen given the current structure of the stadium given that the entrance to the upper tier is vial the stair cases in the lower tier. Those stair cases are near the the turnstiles so you will end up blocking access to the lower tier.
