Was anyone elses knees round their shoulders on Saturday night?

My mrs ankles were, but that was after the rugby

I was concerned for my knees on the basis that if the guy in front sat back with any force I might have been missing the bottom half of my legs.

Terrible seating (East Stand). Did the designer take his 4 year old child with him on the day he measured up?

Awful stadium. We should never play there again. They don't even have a lift in either stand for diasbled access!

i was fie but then again i was left with havin to shell out for a £50 ticket

If you think that's bad, try QPR or Fulham's old wooden stand. Half the legroom.

On our row whenever someone wanted to get out or come back to their seat, the entire row had to go out and stand in the aisle so they could get past.

Don't think it was designed that way. I guess its an old terrace which had seating put on it post Taylor Report. Old away end at Villa Park, Birmingham is similarly bad!

True, no good for anyone over about 5ft 4 - even Rob Burrows might find it a bit uncomfortable!

It's not just one stand in Elland Road, it's all of them. It is not a good stadium to be in.

Funnily enough I mentioned Villa when we were discussing this at the game on Saturday, though I'd suggest Elland Road is far worse (especially as we were in the East Stand which was presumably the 'newer' stand of the lot?)

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!

The toilets were stupid in the Lower East stand. They had the womens right in the corner and the gent's 'In' door right next to it. So everyone trying to squeeze towards one corner. In football there a lesser percentage of women so it may not be such a problem for them. Also the gents design was bad - you had to queue to get out, which was slowing the in queue.

I was pretty comfortable, but then I'm a short.

I did wonder though, on squeezing through the turnstile, how on earth someone of the larger people around me ever got into the ground in the first place.

I was in the west stand on sat and it was fine but from experiance the east is shocking for leg room and I am not tall so any one over 6foot it must be awful

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.
