Leeds United have announced their Elland Road offices and club shop have been closed on advice of the police due to a security threat. In a statement released on social media on Friday morning, the club confirmed the buildings would be shut until further notice.
The stadium is, of course, the club’s base on matchdays, but it also a place of work for a number of employees throughout the week, with the club’s ticket office, foundation and club shop all situated there. All staff have now been sent home from the stadium and part of the road has now been closed off while the situation is dealt with.
The matter is now in the hands of the police. No further information has been provided by the club at this stage.
