Elland Road may face partial closure for Leeds United v Tottenham in crucial last Premier League clash
Leeds United are set for their two biggest games of the season in the next couple of weeks, and Sam Allardyce knows the fans will be crucial.
The Whites are currently one point and place off 17th in the Premier League, with one win able to change everything as West Ham and Spurs await.
The fans have been magnificent once again this season despite the constant struggles, but one fan may have ruined it for everyone against Newcastle.
Of course, it was the one fan who ran onto the pitch to confront Eddie Howe and his coaching staff, a mindless move which could land the club in hot water.
The Mirror reported on Monday 15 May that a “huge” fine or even partial stadium closure could be on the cards with the FA set to come down hard on the club.
With investigations underway involving the club, the FA are said to be set to come down hard with their punishment, and it is no surprise given his actions.
Allardyce is all for fight and passion from his players and the fans, but this was crossing the line and the lifetime ban was justified for this mindless act.
Leeds being punished with a potential partial closure at Elland Road could affect the team massively with the atmosphere enough to frighten any team, especially one as fragile as Spurs.
This would be a crushing blow, not only to the team but to those who may have already purchased tickets and could be left empty-handed.
Security must be tightened up at Elland Road, as this cannot be allowed to happen again with a repeat of this only asking for the punishment to be even stricter the next time.
