Anybody read the thread on their board about ticket allocations?
Word is it could be 7k tickets for the Mags. How can that be right? How do they justify giving us/Leeds only 2,200 based on Health and Safety?

I'm assuming that's based on the FA Cup 15% minimum away allocation. However this can be reduced over safety concerns so the police/club could still intervene
 
Zero chance, typical mags bumping their gums and Mackems getting their knickers in a twist.

If they do somehow get a larger allocation than we do, this is discussed for our next fixture!!!
 
I think It's a higher percentage for the cup than league games? Although no chance whatsoever the mags will get the full allocation.

I bet the whole local police force gave a massive 'FFS' when it was drawn 😂

That said Sunderland are cleverly using it to shift half season cards. Running an advert saying it will secure a derby ticket. So home attendances will increase for the remaining league games. They are going to make a few quid out of the neighbours coming to town.

Far more violent fans historically Boro and Leeds. No real history for the Geordies.
