Angus Kinnear explains Leeds United's Elland Road plan and makes 'not fit for purpose' admission

Leeds United chief executive Angus Kinnear has moved to provide an update on plans to redevelop Elland Road. Kinnear was in attendance via Zoom at the club’s Supporter Advisory Board (SAB) earlier this month and he was asked to explain the latest on the club’s plans to improve and renovate the West Stand.

Club owner Andrea Radrizzani has made no secret of his desire to expand Elland Road in the coming years. Of course, plans hinge on both the club’s top flight status and the takeover of the 49ers Enterprises, which could be completed as soon as the end of the current season.

However, the wheels are in motion and Radrizzani revealed in an interview with The Athletic at the start of the season that Kinnear has been tasked with trying to find the finance for such a project. Kinnear has now revealed to the SAB that the club has drawings and commissions for plans, while he has also provided a timeline of how soon work could be completed.
