Leeds United’s exciting plans for the redevelopment of Elland Road took a monumental stride forwards earlier this week when Leeds City Council confirmed they had granted planning permission for the expansion of the Whites famous old home.
With the green light now given, work is expected to get underway during the summer and that will see the capacity rise to above 53,000 and ensure even more Leeds fans are able to watch their side in action as they look to establish themselves as a genuine force in the Premier League.
No matter what changes come to pass with the redevelopment, the matchday experience will still have some very familiar routines for Whites supporters of all ages as that iconic walk to Elland Road takes place throughout the season.
But are you even a Leeds fan if you don’t do these things on matchday?
