Fears of crowd trouble lead to reduction of Chelsea ticket quota for Capital One Cup quarter-final at Leeds
Chelsea’s ticket allocation for next Wednesday’s Capital One Cup quarter-final against Leeds United at Elland Road has been cut by 2,000 amid fears of potential fan disorder.
The London club had been entitled to bring 5,000 supporters, according to Football League rules that allow a 15 per cent allocation for away fans, but, after consultation with the West Yorkshire Police, Leeds were only able to make 3,000 available.
