Saturday will see the biggest opening day attendance at Elland Road since the Premier League.

With over 30,500 tickets already sold for the visit of Brighton, the gate is set to eclipse the 30,459 who watched our home game against Derby County in August 2004.

Chairman Salah Nooruddin: “We’re delighted with the response we’ve had for the weekend and the atmosphere should be terrific. We’d like to thank everyone for their support, and we’re looking forward to what should be an exciting day for the club.”

Managing director David Haigh added: “We’ve talked about everyone being a team, and I think the response we have had to Saturday just shows that everyone is coming together for what we hope will be an exciting new era.”

Fans who are attending Saturday’s game are reminded to please arrive early and fans wishing to buy tickets are advised to buy in advance to avoid potential congestion on the day.

Fans are also reminded that the new season programme will be priced at just £3 for 100 pages and will be available from sellers on the approaches to the stadium.

For fans unable to attend, Saturday’s game will be broadcast live on FM by Radio Leeds and online via LUTV.
