Futbol Premier League 2024/25 Thread - v4: Caraboo Cup Final edition - Newcastle Champions

A statue for the Caraboo!

Jeez the Man U lot truly are gone. They've completely forgotten where they came from and don't realise how lucky they have been and that most fans will never see their team win anything.

33 years of the PL, and only 4 teams have won it more than once, and only 7 teams have actually won it. This is the reality of being a fan; it's more likely you will never see your club win the league or even a cup than it is that you will win something. We are the first team outside of the 'Big Six' that has won the League Cup in 13 years.

Laughing at the suggestion of a statue (in time, not now, like the lad said) for someone that brought the first domestic trophy in 70 years to a club that has been shit and starved of any success for so long shows just how far some fans have fallen from their clubs working-class roots. I'm talking about the video here, mate, not having a go at you; I know you're just bantering and taking the piss.

If they revised these outdated PSR rules and allowed more investment from owners that have the resources to do it, we would be off to the races, but the PL seems to be cutting its nose off to spite its face.

If you take the Chelsea situation out of the past few transfer windows, and then Citeh this January, it has been pretty much dead, and nobody seems to have the room to spend.

Would you rather win the EL, or get to the CL and lose every game 5 - 0 before being eliminated?

Why we have to lose every game 5-0? we had a tough group last time and lots of injuries, but it wasn't that bad. The PSG game was immense. We should have beaten Milan at our gaff, and we had most of the team missing for the Dortmund games.

Look at the run Villa have just had; they played Bologna, Young Boys, and Brugge four times and made it to the quarterfinals. If we got a run like that, we would do alright.

The CL is better for our growth and makes sure we hold on to our best players.

How long Elland Road expansion might take as Leeds faithful await key updates

Elland Road's scheduled 40 per cent capacity rise clearly means the extension work will not be a quick job

www.leeds-live.co.uk

The idea of expanding Elland Road has been floated for many years but the 49 Enterprises seem serious about it.

Paraag Marathe

and co. wish to upgrade the stadium to hold 53,000 spectators when all is said and done, with work concentrated on the West Stand as well as the South Stand and North Stand. Obviously, this won’t be a quick job.

“There will probably be a couple of phases that ultimately take us to 53,000,” Leeds United chairman Marathe said last month. The 49ers chief told fans to expect further updates in due course, with timescales and start dates not yet clear.

He added: “We want to do it without compromising seats over the next couple of years. So it’s going to be a bit tricky but that’s our goal and we’re ploughing forward on all fronts.”

Clearly, that will elongate the process, but that is a price most will be willing to pay. Sanctioning a reduced capacity of the current 37,890 seating is not only less than ideal but actually unhelpful.

“Elland Road is a place that players and managers from other clubs don’t like playing at because it’s been called a cauldron or a hurricane of noise,” Marathe noted. Some of that would be lost if part of the ground was closed.

So how long will it take? At this early stage, all the variables make it hard to pin down but we can conjure an estimation from previous examples from elsewhere.

For Elland Road, the first phase alone would see the ground bounce up to a capacity of 47,000 - nearly a 9,000 seat jump. That increases to an almost 15,000-seat rise when all is said and done.

Elland Road presents a different kind of challenge given it is an expansion of a current structure, and that is why it is so difficult to predict timeframes.

Going from previous examples as a loose barometer, if all works are completed within three years, that’s some going.

53,000 is more than SJP (52,338).

Wembley 90,000
Old Trafford 75,653
London Stadium 62,500
THS 62,062
Anfield 61,276

Emirates 60,704
Etihad 55,097
New Elland Road
SJP

It is also more than every Scottish football stadium but one:

Celtic Park 60,832
New Elland Road
Hampden Park 52,025

(Murrayfield is Scotland's biggest stadium, at 67,144.)

Our new stadium is coming soon . Well, the announcement anyway, got a sneaky feeling they may announce it officially on the 29th during the parade as it's rumoured to be in Leazes Park, and that is where the new stadium will be built.

Two-thirds of it will be built, and then they will finish the final third when they take down St. James' Park. The new stadium will basically be a bit further back than where we are now. 65K is the rumour with the option of expanding to 75K.

St James park doesn’t look like a good place if you’re a fan with shit seats , too high? Can you even see properly lol. Are the fans pro moving or redeveloping the current place?

The away fans are high up but the rest of the stadium is fine really.

A lot of the fans are fine with the new stadium as they can't expand enough on the current site. It's going to overlap the current footprint anyway so it's basically in the same place.
