10 new pictures show Elland Road construction as Leeds United's stadium expansion takes shape

The work will increase the stadium capacity by over 15,000 🏗️

Excitement is building as work continues on the major redevelopment of Elland Road.

The expansion - which will increase the stadium’s capacity from 37,645 to a huge 53,000 - officially kicked off last month after the season came to an end.

Construction is taking place by the West and North Stands, including the removal of the Banqueting Suite, demolition of the ticket office and the removal of floodlights.

The club said the development work, which is expected to be completed in 2030, heralds a 'momentous moment' in Leeds United history.

And Leeds United legend Gary McAllister has been among those welcoming the upgrade - he hailed the work to get the “tired” stadium the makeover it deserves.

Our photographer Gerard Binks has been down to the site to capture these new pictures as the project takes shape.
