Leeds United fans warned not to travel to Carlisle without ticket

NO TICKETS will be on sale in Carlisle for Leeds United's crucial play-off second leg clash.
And any Whites fans who do not already have a ticket for the Brunton Park game have been urged not to make the trip.
Cumbria Police are expected to swamp the city centre in the run-up to the match, providing what has been described as a "robust, high-visibility presence."
Chief Inspector Julie McPhee said: " The policing operation will target troublemakers who are intent on spoiling the enjoyment of genuine supporters. Anti-social behaviour will not be tolerated. We will also pursue football banning orders for any relevant offence."
There are no trains from Carlisle to Leeds after the final whistle, and Leeds supporters have been reminded they are likely to be kept in the ground for a short time at the end.
United's allocation of 1,600 tickets sold out almost as soon as it went on sale. Despite the warning, a small number of Leeds fans are expected to travel ticketless.
