It doesn't feel like a big game to me to be honest.
I'm probably in the minority but I'm not particularly bothered about Leeds. I don't dislike them like I do Sunderland and Newcastle.
It's obviously a massive game for them though and it should be a great atmosphere, so I am looking forward to it.

A lot of walk-ups will buy over the weekend.

Dead rubber it's on sky why pay Boro stupid walk up prices. 25000 would be a big crowd.

There’s already a lot more than that sold - probably 30000 ish by Monday
No I agree, Leeds are just another team to me really, maybe slightly more than say Rotherham

Lets see what the actual gate is.

Well this is always a big fixture for both clubs, we love beating them and vice versa - i think around 30000 is a fair prediction of what the actual gate will be

30000 would be Ok if we had something to play for. As it is who on earth is going to shell out £30+ for an end of season., totally pointless game ?

Because it’s a needle game that people like to see

I think there's always a little bit of added spice whenever we play them but I won't be that bothered if they beat us.
If we were about to play Sunderland in a so-called dead rubber game I'd still be desperate for us to beat them. That's the difference.

Maybe depends on your age - Leeds were always a big rival going back to the 70’s

30k would be pretty great, given that we only seem to be able to accommodate 31k or so for sellout games

They are hated by so many clubs that it's water of a ducks back.
They see man utd as a big rival,but they are largely irrelevant to man utd.
I think it depends which Leeds fans you talk to

oddly I want Ipswich to win it & Leeds to go up in 2nd, as I want Leicester to miss out in the playoffs altogether for going into administration as a way to dump their debt & start fresh with their new owner - https://www.theguardian.com/football/2002/oct/22/newsstory.sport5
They deserve to have a spell away from the PL TV money..
