Supporters are being rallied by Joe Gelhardt to show their support for Leeds United’s under-23 side as they prepare to host Manchester City at Elland Road next week. Momentum is building with tickets now on general sale for the last Premier League 2 home match of the season as the Whites eye the division’s attendance record of 16,935.
Gelhardt’s exposure to first-team football, along with the injury issues he has suffered this year, have meant he has played less under-23 football than usual. Despite that, he has had plenty of experiences with the second-string in front of a rocking Elland Road and believes even going for the record underlines the level of support the club has.
“To even have the ambition to break that level,” he said. “We’ve had 10,000 something against Man United, Liverpool and we played against Palace, and I don’t even think it got advertised everywhere, and it was nearly 5,000 or more there.
