Not so many years ago since I had a whole row to myself in the John Charles stand. Crowd can be a bit fickle. If they do expand, it needs to be on the back of a good run in the Premier League.

Agree 100% with this.
You could have got a season ticket for less than £350 in the East Upper only 2 years ago.We had less than 15k season ticket holders in 2016/17.
I'm not criticising anyone because for years we were ripped off by terrible owners for rubbish football. But apart from the last few seasons, you could pretty much get a ticket on the day for any game you wanted over the last decade. And you could get yourself to plenty of away games on a standard membership.
When Leeds are successful, everyone in the city is a big fan and people can't get enough. But when we weren't doing well, it barely felt like there was a football club in this city.
The club needs to establish itself before any talk of expansion.

It sounds like they are going to an awful lot of trouble and expense for the sake of one quick season in the Premiership.

Knocking down the West stand and building a mirror of the East stand gets us to about 44,000.

Kinnear words were knock down west and build new stand. You maybe right. He said 50,000.
Not bothered either way.

Maybe if the Kop had an upper tier making a horseshoe would get it to 50,000...don’t know what they could do for the South stand.

They certainly are
At work alot know i have season ticket and since we got promoted the loads want to get a season ticket now.
Dont get me wrong the bigger the crowds and making stadium bigger is only a good thing but at the same time it does make me chuckle.

There’s a design on the continent where a pre fabricated rectangular tunnel is placed over the road behind the stand and the 2nd tier of the stand is built on top of it. That would cause access problems to the Peacock car park, unless the car park next door to the Peacock was re-designed. Not impossible to resolve.
