| Can you imagine buying a season ticket to watch Leeds United at god knows how much ££ only to go to the first game and be greeted with what you get!
I thought the toilet situation was equally poor, one a regular sized door in, and one out just isnt sufficient for thousands of supporters, it wouldnt take much to widen the door!

| As a fan of Leeds both rugby and football i've been to Elland Road and this year i had the same problem in the Kop/Revie end and the South end and struggled with leg room, and at 6"3 it is a problem! But it is a great stadium for atmosphere and i think they should hold the Four Nations final there in 2014.
The world cup final i would hold at either Old Trafford or the Etihad Stadium with a quarter final being at Elland Road.

| Every time I've been to Elland Road I've come away with the same impression: It's A Dump.
It's dark, gloomy, the seats are uncomfortable and far to small with too little legroom, the queues for the toilets are just ridiculous (I bet many posters have missed game time because of this), and overall it seems unable to cope with a sizeable hungry and thirsty crowd. On top of that I don't really recall ever having a good view. Horrible place - plus with our diabolical record there I'd have stopped any GB/England games there years ago. Have we EVER won at Elland Road?
There are much better stadiums we should look at for the Four Nations Final - even if some are smaller. Best option - Etihad. Fairly central, easy to get to, modern and able to cope with big crowds. OT is great but probably too big, and anyway would either football stadium even want us? Then we have the Galpharm, also centrally located. The DW and Hull are great options but not very central.
I'm not sure I'd even bother going to Elland Road again.

| Poor stadium really, I grew up watching Leeds United and I used to think the stadium was amazing when I was a child in the '90s.
I was sat in the South Stand, there must have only been about six women's toilets for the whole stand - its not good enough for rugby league where there are far more women in the crowd than football. The legroom was just about adequate, but I'm shorter than 6 foot... I think the lower South and West stands were standing paddocks at one time, the East Stand uses the old Lowfields Road terracing at the bottom and of course the whole of the Revie Stand was the all standing kop which had seating placed on to it.

| A lot of the complaints being made are pretty much true of all the new grounds. Went to Hull last week and queued 15 minutes into the 2nd half for a pint and a pie due to the lack of decent catering facilities. The Galpharm is just as bad and the number of toilets isn't enough for 4000 people in the away end. The concourse under the stand at Warrington is something akin to a rabbit hutch and once more toilet and catering facilities are not what should be expected. Elland road is a lot bigger than the above stadiums it's just a lot older. Pros and cons wherever you go to watch rugby.
