Leeds United have tweeted out the prices for their upcoming away fixture against Blackburn and the cost has left many fans angry. Adult fixtures for the game will be priced at £40, which is £10 more than Premier League sides are allowed to charge to away fans. (BBC Sport)
Leeds United currently find themselves 2nd in the League, one point behind West Brom in first and five points in front of Nottingham Forest in Third. Meanwhile, Blackburn are currently eighth and only three points off Preston who are sitting in the last play-off position, two places above the Rovers. (Sky Sports)
The game is crucial for both sides who want to return to the Premier League and Leeds’ form is very good, the Yorkshire outfit are undefeated in their last five games, winning four and drawing one. When the sides met earlier in the season, Leeds came out on top, winning 2-1 back on the 9th November 2019. (11v11)
Here are what Leeds fans are saying on the ticket prices, with a couple describing the development as “disgusting”:

Can we please reduce away ticket prices at ER. These prices are in direct retaliation to what we charge, and it’s us fans being hit by it, not the club!
