More than 15,000 Leeds United fans take up invite to be inside Elland Road for run-in

Leeds United are set to be backed by at least 15,000 cardboard cut-outs for their final five matches at Elland Road, the club have confirmed.

The Whites return to Championship action on Sunday against Cardiff City, with nine games left of the season.

Leeds return to Elland Road against Fulham the following weekend, with Luton Town, Stoke City, Barnsley and Charlton Athletic also due before the season is finished.

While supporters won't be allowed in the ground, they have been given the opportunity to show their support to the players.

The club launched a new initiative after the news, which allows fans to create and design their own personalised Crowdie to support the team inside Elland Road, which has proved to be extremely popular.

All individual orders must be confirmed by June 17, at the cost of £25, whilst season-ticket holders must confirm they want a Crowdie by June 15 as part of their rebate option.

Speaking about the scheme, 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.”
