I imagine the reason they didn't give Sheffield united the full stand was due to an history of violence.

Also last week was pretty much sold out. This week they had 27k with 4K being Leeds and room for plenty more in the home stands

They have had plenty of problems with leeds in the past remmber the Friday night game when dave Jones was the Sheffield Wednesday manger one of the Leeds fans ran on the pitch and attacked the goalkeeper and they still gave them four thousand tickets

its crystal clear we are treated unfairly...yet our fans still get stick for poor numbers.

I think the reason was simply they could sell out for the Sheff Utd game so no need to give a big allocation to the away fans.
