I'm assuming it could be something like a bomb scare or staff have received harmful threats

My first ever game was in the West Stand, with my grandad. Similar to you Swannie it holds memories, not my cup of tea now though.

I’ve always fancied the North West corner for some reason, it does have a great view.

And those memories will always be treasured, but it would be nice to create new ones in a stadium fit for purpose now

True, and the main thing for me is that we remain at Elland Road so rebuilding the West Stand would be preferable to me than moving to t'other side of Leeds :)

Are we sure it wasn't Kenny threatening to sneak Bert back into the dugouts? 🤔
