Having spent time following Leeds in League 1 and going to places like Carlisle, Tranmere, Exeter, Wycombe Wanderers, Grimsby..... there is just something special about a proper ground, it is more authentic or something, bit rough around the edges. Like the away end at Luton you are practically walking through somebody's house to enter. I like all that, I'd rather go there than Spurs' bowl or Arsenal. An away day at The Dell was always more fun than a sanitised experience at St Mary's.
Elland Road is old and tumbling down, but we love it, we still have wooden seats in the West Stand. Because the South Stand backs directly onto the actual road they can't make that any bigger so we will never be a bowl. But they are going to redevelop the West Stand but do it up and over the current one, so what is there now will be a lower tier and they will put an upper tier above. They are going to take the capacity up to something like 60k. Will look great when we're back in League 1.

I adore our ground, there has been talk of a move to a new stadium but I don't want to. I love where we are - so much character and history. Sadly, I suspect it'll be a while before our paths cross again!!!!
I hate being far away from the pitch, I’m on row 4 for my season ticket seat at Goodison. Luckily when we get our new stadium the plan is to still have fans close to the pitch
