Putting the away fans in the West stand was an excellent idea. Save the best seats for us.
Also, charging them the annual GDP of a small country for a ticket is also an excellent idea. We've got the best stadium in the league both in terms of size and history. I'm sure that, leaving out the odd local derby, ours is the one away game every fan wants to go to each season (even though of course we're not famous anymore). plus they get to watch our wonderful team rather than the usual bunch of tedious journeymen who inhabit their own shirts every week (as the song goes: you're only here to watch the Leeds!) So supply and demand dictates...........a highly desirable product = a high price. (Both decisions taken by The Devil Incarnate, BTW.)
