Leeds United: Elland Road set to be rocking vs Millwall as FA Youth Cup ticket update shared
Elland Road is set to be rocking on Thursday (4 April) for the FA Youth Cup semi-final between Leeds United and Millwall.
Former Leeds player and now community liaison executive Ben Parker shared a ticket update on his official X account on Tuesday (2 April).
Parker confirmed that nearly nine thousand tickets have so far been sold and there are still another couple of days to shift more.
It means there will almost certainly be a five-figure attendance at Elland Road in a just reward for the youngsters.
Manchester City v Bristol City in other FA Youth Cup semi-final
The youth side have already come through four rounds to make it this far, seeing off Norwich City, Brighton, Sheffield United and Liverpool.
That 3-1 victory over Liverpool was a real statement of intent and shows exactly what this side are capable of.
Should Leeds see off rivals Millwall – and they will consider themselves favourites heading into that one – they then have a final to look forward to.
Bristol City and Manchester City – the only remaining top-tier side remaining – contest the other semi-final on Tuesday (2 April).
As we have seen this season with Archie Gray and others, there are plenty of talented gems that emerge through the academy.
With a sizeable crowd behind them, let’s hope this latest crop of young talents are able to put on a show and keep their cup hopes alive.
