You should get 10% of the capacity if you can guarantee the sales - subject to police approval.

Anyway Harrogate don't have 3000 season ticket holders, so it should have offered to the public.

Town have sold out their initial 3000 allocation at Leeds- we are waiting to hear if more are available for us non season ticket holders.

Part of me thinks I might get Leeds home tickets - surely Leeds fans wont care if we cheer on a lower league team like harrogate - cant be an edgy choice? Or would I be chancing it?

 For real??  Then again you should be much better positioned than me to judge  what cheering on Harrogate in a Leeds area might bring you.

 Im basing my thinking on most harrogate fans being Leeds fans also, so therell be a degree of good will?! But maybe Im being naiave?

Not been able to get tickets and Leeds home tickets sold out. Theres a route to get harrogate tickets by buying tickets for the away match at Fleetwood but I wouldnt be able to attend and not throwing money away that I dont have.

So looks like we wont be going, sadly

Looking forward to being at Elland Road today - what a day out for Town; nice little spot on the BBC yesterday, a fun look at the tea rooms and regal town centre. A little patronising but heh.

So hard to see any way Town will get a win, but you just never know and its going to be an exciting evening ahead.

Town managed to beat Accrington Stanley yesterday and leapfrog them at the bottom; takes us 10 points clear of relegation and shouldnt be an issue now. 10 points gap is too many for the bottom two clubs to catch up. Tranmere, Morecambe and Carlisle as well as Accrington are behind us now.

The match against Carlisle next weekend could be the clincher for us.

Apparently Millwall are unlikely to be charged by the FA for their fans' loud singing of "Let him die" while Crystal Palace's Jean-Philippe Mateta was receiving lengthy treatment for the horrific kick he received to his head.

Apparently the fans' little ditty didn't breach protocols. Really???!!!

It's funny in football lately what triggers the PL and what doesn't breach the rules...

Anyway good to hear that Mateta is doing well and all scans are clear though he has received 25 stitches for a severe laceration to his left ear. It certainly could have been worse.

On another note, how England's supposedly top ref, Michael Oliver, didn't see it as a sending off in the the first instance is a very strange one. I generally like Oliver but he has had a few strange ones lately. I think VAR fulfilled intervening for clear and obvious mistakes in this case, just a bit!  I think it might have out-Schumachered the infamous challenge from the 1982 World Cup ( says he showing his age ).

Just caught up that Eddie Howe isnt well. The narrative coming out doesnt sound good, but not sure what happened to take him into hospital after feeling unwell for a few days.

Wish him well. I rate him as a coach and manager and he seems like a really decent guy as well.

Went to see Town yesterday - decent game, second half at least, with some good goals; Grimsby scored a worldly for their opener, from his own half. Wish they had replays, I need to find a video of it!

Looks like Town are safe now, poor season in the league. No attack.

But theres always next season.

Great result for Town today, dominated Fleetwood and won 3-1 with some decent goals.

Smallest team in the EFL, we survived another season and stay up, hurrah.

Weve got the basis of a decent team, 10 matches unbeaten at home and the FA Cup run and TV games gave us good money that bought some decent players in the January window. I liked Bryant Bolingo at left back.

Hope we can build and maybe push on for top half next season- fingers crossed!

Oh, and Leeds won as well and get promoted - not a bad day. And Harry Gray made his debut. Some say hes more talented than Archie!
