The Crowd

Read a lot over the last few days about the performance of players, the coach and all points in between.

Just wanted to put it out there that I thought the crowd were massive on Saturday. Bar a few who'll always berate the players, I thought the backing the players received was awesome - certainly from where I was sat. Bit of ironic cheering when Kiko went near the ball, but overall I thought he got great backing - as did Bamford.

We, the crowd, have a huge part to play in terms of supporting and getting behind the players.

You mean "when" we go up Cal?!?!?

Any move to increase capacity, I hope they give dual thought to where those extra fans park.

I've noticed usual places are getting fuller quicker.

It’s been great most weeks tbf, it’s a pleasure going at the moment and has been for a while.

Just hope things don’t change if we go up because if we became a tourist club like most clubs up there it would kill it for me. Luckily tickets are hard to come by now so they won’t be available

Let's hope Radrizzani can maximise the opportunities that await for clubs promoted to the PL but I daren't even dream about it at this point!!!

Great to hear about the attendance and support at games - must be a cracking atmosphere when we dominate play like we did on Saturday. ER is packed not just because the team is doing well but because the football they're playing is really really good! If we get promoted, it's on merit - we've played the best football, consistently.

Good times, despite (or perhaps because of) the wobbles and frustrations! In Bielsa we trust...although I'd still give Meslier a go now.

VOF.. excellent article and totally agree.

I also really like the Kiko song … find myself singing it at work sometimes

If we ever went up I think the ground would need to be expanded.

I keep hearing of an expansion to 50,000. Even if we mirrored the East stand that would only be around 43,000. Where are they getting another 7,000?

East and south stands are restricted by Elland Road and the side street.

Rotate the field by 90 degrees, drop the field level by 6-10 feet and redo west and south stands.

I don’t have specific measurements and haven't sat down to figure this out in detail but that appears to be the most practical plan.
