Description:
A great shot of the East Stand here at Elland Road the fans in attendance for the last home game of the 2010-11 season. The shot coming from the Football League Championship game against Burnley at Elland Road on the 30th April, 2011.
The East Stand at Elland Road was built in 1993 at a cost of £5.5m. It replaced the old Lowfields Road stand which was demolished in 1992. The East Stand runs along the length of the pitch and is the latest stand in the Elland Road family. The stand has 25 executive boxes that are housed between the two tiers. The top tier of the East Stand holds 7,000 fans and the bottom tier has a capacity of 10,000 making the enormous East Stand's capacity 17,000. The East Stand's cantilever stand model is one of the largest cantilever stands in the world. Originally the bottom tier catered for the family stand members that were relocated from the South East corner after the stand was built in 1993. This has since been changed and now either side of the bottom tier is the area for Members Club members and season ticket holders with juveniles. A large concourse runs under the East Stand that contains shops for Leeds United merchandise, fast food, bookies and a restaurant. Leeds United: Schmeichel, Lichaj, O'Brien, Naylor, McCartney, Johnson, Kilkenny, Howson, Gradel, McCormack, Paynter. Subs: Snodgrass for Paynter, Watt for Gradel, Bromby for McCormack. Thanks To: Paul for this great pic. Submitted: 07/16/11 (Edited 07/16/11) Views: 135 Tags: Rate this image:
