From The Back Of The Charles
A view here from the back of the John Charles Stand at Elland Road looking down at the action on the pitch. The shot coming from the Football League Championship game against Derby County at Elland Road on the 1st April, 2013.
The West Stand at Elland Road was built in 1957 and replaced the old West Stand which was destroyed by fire. The new stand cost 180,000 to build and was funded by an appeal from the club raising 60,000 with the Leeds City Council also helping out with finances. Originally the West Stand had terracing on the front paddock which had a capacity of 6,000 and seating at the rear which housed a further 4,000 spectators. Later the West Stand became an all seater stand and is considered the major stand at Elland Road. In 1970 the West Stand was streamlined with the Kop after the North West corner was built at a cost of 200,000. After the death of John Charles in 2004 the West Stand was renamed the John Charles Stand in tribute to the great Leeds Utd player.
Leeds United: Kenny, Byram, Pearce, Peltier, Warnock, Green, Austin, Dawson, Diouf, Morison, Varney.
Subs: McCormack/Dawson, White/Diouf.
Thanks To: Tommy for the great pic.
