Low crowd for a big derby game between two big clubs, irrespective of Wednesday's form. Were Leeds fans banned?

It was the Wednesday stands that were empty. Leeds turned up with their usual hordes. I suspect their end empties pretty sharpish after goals 5 and 6 flew in.

My brother in law is a Wednesday fan.
He reckons it was a combination of Leeds only getting half the usual away allocation, it being on the TV and Wednesdays poor league postition.
I do Aaron Cawley managed to sneak in (t**t that punched the keeper and now takes to twitter to show how hard he is) given how bad leeds were.

Leeds were only given 3000 tickets, restricted because of last years trouble

Was on tele and Wednesday had been playing shite up until that game... Pretty obvious why there was a lower crowd than say a 3pm KO for the same fixture.

He is doing himself no favours. The more he makes himself in the public profile, the more likely hooligans from other clubs will one day bump into him.

I wonder if his defence team feel a little stupid saying he is "turning his life around". It doesn't appear to be the case.
Yep, Leeds got a reduced allocation due to last years trouble, and for Wednesday 18k home fans is pretty average.
They (apart from yesterday) are a very poor side, not surprised fewer people are heading along. They often do very cheap tickets (£5-10) which is when they pull in the higher crowds.

Nasty bit of work.
Often? We've done it once this season to the best of my knowledge when it was £10 in the home stands v Wigan in the midweek before Christmas when crowds are always low anyway. There's been a Kid a For A Quid deal too v Bournemouth and we generally cut prices for early rounds of the cup (I wouldn't know about the later rounds as we never get very far). I'll admit our crowds are poor by our standards this season but we've been crap most of the season and that affects how many pay on the day. Still, most of this league would love our crowds.

Playing palarse we'd sell out, playing some northern team what 22k? Currently about 25k as doing well....... really don't think we'd drop off unless got relegated and even then nothing like the old days

But palarse is the proper derby. Leeds/Wednesday isn't.
