Leeds United have opened their East Stand Upper for the first time in two years as the club expect a sell-out for the final game of this League One season. The game could have great importance for both sides as The Gills will hopefully still be fighting against the drop to League Two, and should Leeds' point deduction be overturned they could still be in a automatic promotion chase.
Leeds confirmed that the East Stand Upper, which hasn’t been used since Leeds’ Championship play-offs Semi Final against Preston North End two years ago, will be opened meaning that every stand of Elland Roadis open to supporters.
Club Officials said: "The decision has been taken following an overwhelming demand for tickets for our final home game of theseason.
"Tickets for the game went on general sale on Wednesday morning and almost 4,000 were snapped up in less than 12 hours."
Gillingham are also expected to sell-out their allocation of tickets for what could be a cup final for both sides.
