Leeds United reveal huge scale of 'crowdies' set for final five games at Elland Road

Leeds announced last week that fans could create their own 'crowdies' to be placed in the stands for United's last five games at Elland Road which will all be played behind closed doors due to the country's ongoing fight against coronavirus.

The initiative has proved to be hugely popular with 15,000 crowdies already set to support Marcelo Bielsa's side inside Leeds' famous home for the five fixtures against Luton Town, Fulham, Stoke City, Barnsley and Charlton Athletc.

Home season ticket holders who wish to have their own crowdie inside Elland Road as part of their season ticket rebate option must opt to do so before the deadline of close of business on Monday, June 15.

All Whites fans can still purchase a crowdie by visiting crowdie.leedsunited.com

Supporters need to upload their photo (ideally in club colours) and place their order for £25.

Individual orders must be received by June 17 to ensure that crowdie is in place for the first home match.

Whites chief executive Angus Kinnear said: “We are asking fans to get their club colours on and support the Leeds United Crowdie scheme that will see ‘life-size’ cut outs installed at Elland Road from our first home fixture against Fulham, and remain in place while matches continue behind closed doors.

“We want to demonstrate that our legendary support will be at Elland Road for every match in spirit.”
