New or renovated stadium and capacity?

I agree that it's not worth worrying about until we're promoted. But compare our ground to almost every other ground in the PL and it looks like a throwback to the 70s. I know it's our home and it should stay our home but let's face it, it's a glorified cow shed. Now don't shoot me but I've got a plan: we alternate with Hudders at theirs. After all, with revenues down once they're in the Championship they'll be more than happy for the extra revenue – and the honour of sharing their ground with a top-flight outfit!

Only while Elland Road is upgraded, of course!

This is one of the worst comments I’ve ever seen on this board.

Share with Huddersfield?

Ok, let's share with Halifax Town. That more like it Hayemaker?

Elland Road is an iconic stadium with a unique atmosphere. Location is perfect right next to M621. Capacity is now too small for PL games, if we get there. Solution is simple to me. Build another East stand on the site of the current West stand and get rid of the boxes in the South stand. That should take capacity up to around 50,000.

What the fook have you been drinking Lorra? Hudds capacity is tiny. Elland Road is not a glorified cow shed. Just the West Stand needs replacing.

Share with Hudds?? FFS!!
Can't believe that suggestion. Haha, I get it Lorra. Just a wind up joke eh? 24500 capacity - you meant to share with our U23s right?

Let’s get promoted and get a decent side first, that’s more like it.

IF, and this is a monumental IF at this point, we did get promoted, we would plateau quite quickly.

Say we stay up and establish ourselves, how quickly would we realise we can’t compete at the top and were mid table at best? Would crowd demands still be over 50,000 for Leeds v Bournemouth for example?

Worrying about Elland Roads capacity is just stupid at this point. And sharing with Huddersfield is idiotic.

Did you mean being concerned about capacity at this time is premature and you don’t like the idea of sharing with Huddersfield?

Let’s stay civil to each other, eh?

Worrying about ER now is not stupid.
I had the same debate when we were winning 1-0
Obvious we would start to concede.
Fail to prepare, prepare to fail.
I think Bielsa has put many straight on that score
