Elland Road’s redevelopment vision for 53,000 seats has taken another step forward this morning with the submission of a formal planning application by Leeds United.
After several months of public consultation, the club is satisfied with a 98 per cent approval rating from those who responded to their questionnaire at their exhibitions of the plans.

In the first phase of their plans, Leeds want to expand the John Charles Stand from a capacity of 8,000 to 17,750. This application includes a detailed plan for the first phase and an outline of their intentions for the Don Revie Stand in the longer term.
Leeds chief business officer Morrie Eisenberg said: “We are delighted to submit a planning application to Leeds City Council on schedule with our proposed timeline of the project. This is a result of the hard work of everyone involved over the past 18 months, where designs and concepts have been developed to revitalise Elland Road, while preserving the unique history and heritage it holds.
“I would like to thank everyone who took the time to go to the public exhibition at the Centenary Pavilion and the consultation sessions in the local community, with over 1,800 people visiting in person, and those who completed the questionnaire and provided us with invaluable comments and feedback, which have all been considered.
“As a club, we believe this development will provide great economic benefits to the local community and will be a catalyst for a regeneration of the area.”
According to a statement from Leeds, 97 per cent of questionnaire respondents supported an increase in capacity, 98 per cent supported the design plans and 99 per cent supported the economic benefits the redevelopment will deliver.
A final decision on the application is expected within 13 weeks, which is October 7.

It’s the type of stadium that makes one feel tiny in comparison with the colossal concrete structure. Argentina’s Copa América semifinal against Canada was a prime example of what MetLife Stadium can sound like for a big international football match.

A saída da competição foi ainda mais dolorosa para os torcedores palmeirenses, pois o segundo gol do time inglês aconteceu após uma falha do goleiro Weverton, que não conseguiu cortar um cruzamento desviado na direção de sua meta.

BVB hält Diagnose noch geheim – Kovac-Star fällt lange aus!
Das kann doch nicht wahr sein! Borussia Dortmund muss mit Julien Duranville (19) den nächsten Ausfall hinnehmen. Die Dribbel-Rakete – Dortmunds wohl größtes Talent – war beim Klub-WM-2:3 gegen Real Madrid bei einem Zweikampf gegen Fran Garcia schmerzhaft auf die rechte Schulter geknallt. Der Belgier war erst in der 63. Minute eingewechselt worden, musste bereits in der 82. wieder vom Feld.Nach dem Rückflug aus den USA unterzog sich Duranville in Deutschland genauen Untersuchungen. Mit ganz bitterem Ausgang!Dortmund hält die genaue Diagnose zwar streng geheim, doch es besteht Verdacht auf eine Schultereckgelenksprengung. Obwohl der Klub die Verletzung noch nicht offiziell kommuniziert hat, ist klar, dass der Spieler die gesamte Vorbereitung verpassen und für mehrere Monate ausfallen wird.Nach Abwehrchef Nico Schlotterbeck (25), der mit Meniskusriss noch bis etwa Oktober ausfällt, hat es nun den nächsten BVB-Star schwer erwischt.
