Leeds’ three-year stay in the Premier League came to an end last month as they embark on a bid to return to the big time at the first time of asking in 2023/24. The club have outlined their intentions ahead of the new season, stating in their press release on relegation that every attempt will be made to earn promotion during this coming campaign.
The Whites are guaranteed to play 23 away fixtures this season, including trips to far-flung, seldom-visited destinations such as Plymouth Argyle’s ironically named Home Park, as well as some more familiar haunts such as Leicester City’s King Power Stadium or Southampton’s St. Mary’s Stadium.
Based on historical away supporter designations and expected gates at clubs up and down the division this year, here is an educated estimation of the away allocation Leeds will be permitted at all 23 away grounds the team visit in 2023/24.
19. Bet365 Stadium: 2,600
You get cold just looking at it, don't you? It's been known as the Britannia and the Bet365 over the years, Stoke's home ground is one of the most unpleasant away trips in the land. Fancy it on a midweek night in October? (Photo by Naomi Baker/Getty Images) Photo: Naomi Baker
20. Stadium of Light: 2,500
Another midweek-er and a poor allocation if previous offerings are anything to go by. Typically Sunderland allow 2,500 away fans to be tucked away high in the 49,000-seater stadium. Leeds are on Wearside on December 12. (Photo by Catherine Ivill/Getty Images) Photo: Catherine Ivill
21. Liberty Stadium: 2,000
Fond memories of this place, although everybody was watching Pablo Hernandez slot one into the bottom corner from their living rooms three years ago. More memories to be made in Swansea this season, hopefully. Won't be as warm as that fine July day, though. February 13. (Photo by Ryan Hiscott/Getty Images) Photo: Ryan Hiscott
22. Vicarage Road: 2,000
Just inside the M25, Leeds fans can be thankful there aren't too many trips to the capital this season given their record in London. Watford will be an interesting case this year. Leeds are there on March 29. (Photo by Richard Heathcote/Getty Images) Photo: Richard Heathcote
23. The Hawthorns: 2,000
