Leeds to review crowd safety after Newcastle fans complain of crush

Away fans had problems getting into Elland Road on Saturday
West Yorkshire police are also looking into the incident

Leeds United and West Yorkshire police are reviewing crowd safety protocols at Elland Road after hundreds of Newcastle United fans complained about a crush outside the away end on Saturday.

Traffic congestion around Elland Road meant that many supporters arrived later than planned for the Premier League game which was won 1-0 by Newcastle. With 3,000 away fans having made the trip and matters further slowed by Covid passport checks, significant overcrowding occurred around five turnstiles.
