Town fans can trade tickets
HUDDERSFIELD Town fans will be allowed into the South Stand for the final two home matches of the campaign.
Huddersfield Town season card holders will be able to use the ‘TicketTrade’ initiative to reserve a seat in the Chadwick Lawrence Cowshed for the final two home matches of the season.
Town face Fulham on April 22 before taking on Cardiff City in their final home match of the 2016/17 campaign, and both matches could be crucial to the club’s promotion push.
Town sit third in the Championship table, six points behind Brighton with a game in hand, and are well in the mix for automatic promotion. ■■Huddersfield Town’s match against Newcastle United was watched by 435,000 people, putting it 10th in the standings for largest TV audience for a Championship match this season.
The match at the John Smith’s Stadium sits just behind Yorkshire derbies between Leeds and Barnsley and the Whites and Sheffield Wednesday in the list, which is dominated by Newcastle matches.
The top seven matches all feature the Toon, with the Magpies’ fixture against Leeds at the top of the pile.
Newcastle matches against Brighton, Wednesday, Blackburn, Fulham, Aston Villa and Nottingham Forest make up the top 10, with this term’s figures dwarfing those of last season.
The play-off final contested between Hull and Wednesday last year was watched by 674,000 people and is usually the mostwatched ‘Championship’ match of the season.
But two matches have already eclipsed that number this year and we could see the first Championship match to be watched by more than one million people in the coming weeks as Leeds’ trip to Newcastle is due to be televised live on Sky Sports. Top 10 TV audiences of the season so far: 1. Leeds v Newcastle 826,000 2. Brighton v Newcastle 705,000 3. Newcastle v Sheffield Wednesday 598,000 4. Blackburn v Newcastle 584,000 5.
