Leeds have extended their deadline for half-season tickets. The club said that they sold over 1,000 half-season tickets already, and now have extended the deadline to include the final 10 matches of the season at Elland Road. The club has also adjusted the price, as the original deal included the match against Nottingham Forest, which has already passed.
Good move? Perhaps, if the demand is there. Leeds have the highest attendance in the Championship, so this gives some fans an opportunity to get a bit of a deal on the final 10 home games, rather than pay the single-game ticket prices, which are a bit expensive.
Anyway, on to the links.
