I know there is no such thing as good timing but....in light of the UK political developments and impact of same on people's disposable income..is now really the time for massive capital investment in the stadium? I'd hope it is but we hardly want thousands of empty seats either.
Also the Happy Mondays gig there with fans hanging off the floodlights…

Elland Road is a dump, but the space they have that could be developed if they got their arses in gear is something.On a another note, their bus shuttle service from the station and back is quite something, and precisely what we need.

Really noticeable yesterday how much they'd stepped up the shuttle bus service. We normally get an Uber from the McDonalds opposite as the only viable quick way back into town without walking. Yesterday we walked straight onto the shuttle bus and were in town in seconds, thanks to them stopping the traffic to let the buses out.

It's a weird ground, one massive quite modern stand that completely dwarfs the three shitty old ones. Like you say though, they've got loads of space around them that they could do something quite impressive with. It's a relatively easy ground to get to, and to get away from.
