Last night dave went and got in a que with loads of other leeds fans 4 wembely tickets at around 6 am this morning there was a massive surge of people and que jumpers then all hell broke loose i have copyed some of the storys of what happend to day.

I was caught in the middle of the crush. This was disturbing and scary, it was absolutely awful. I'm sorry a ticket isn't worth it, how somebody has not been seriously injured I will never know.

Happened about 12:40, we were in the middle and the Police were letting people through 2 at a time, ridiculous. As the gate opened, some tossers charged from the back towards the gate, the Police slammed the gate shut and pushed forward, consequently us in the middle were all crushed together, the pressure was unbelievable and I was literally forced up into the air. I looked around and the looks of distress on peoples faces were horrifying, luckily the fans had managed to get most of the women and children out of the way, but obviously some were left in the middle.

This was a awful situation, and people should lose their jobs. Harvey, you got it wrong again, and the Police by keeping the gates closed were seriously endangering people, can't believe the events.

Furious at the lack of care shown to people, as the Police watched people collapse around us.

Ugly scenes erupted at Leeds United after furious fans pleaded "stop treating us like animals".

Children were sick, people fainted and others were pulled from the queues to safety as hundreds were kept in a pen before being let out in groups of ten to join the final queue at the ticket office.

Many were also dehydrated as they could not leave the queue for drinks near the enclosure where fans were chanting "let us out".

Many complained of a complete lack of organisation at the club, claiming there were no stewards at the ground when supporters started to queue yesterday afternoon.

Although the night went safely with many fans partying and dancing, this morning a surge of newcomers surged to the front once official queues began.

This has meant that many that were at the ground last night have been pushed to the back of the queue.

Tensions climaxed at around 1pm. Police entered the queue to break up the crush, effectively calming the situation by 2pm.

Darren Gallacher, 40, had travelled all the way up from Oxford yesterday but had to step out of the queue after 12-year-old son Deon was crushed in this morning's surge.

"It was 6am this morning and a steward said pack up, get in the queue but then everyone who came late surged forward. My son was crushed and started being sick.

"We set off from Oxford yesterday afternoon and now I am separated from friends who are in the other queue."
