A lot of Leeds United fans have responded to a tweet from LUFCMOT, which has relayed quotes made by Noel Whelan.
Whelan told Football Insider that he would like Leeds to remain at Elland Road rather than move to a new ground.
The former Whites player wants Elland Road to be expanded upon, and he thinks that it has a great history, and he believes that the fans wouldn’t want to move anywhere else.
This has triggered a good reaction from many Leeds fans who seem to agree with Whelan’s suggestion.
Would you want to expand Elland Road?
Yes, would be perfect
No, we should move
?? Noel Whelan: "I'd like to keep Elland Road. We're talking about extending the stadium which is great rather than building one.
Elland Road has a great history, I'd like to think it would never happen. It means a lot to people. I don't think the fans would want anything else." pic.twitter.com/rFVc3tZJrd— LUFCMOT (@LUFCMOTcom) April 21, 2020

Stick a second tier onto the Don Revie Stand and maybe the North East Corner as well and we should be good to go

Elland road is our home and always remain playing there the history and passion of ex players and supporters would not mean the same at a new ground

A brand new West stand to mirror the east. A new north stand plus the corners to be our 1 tier ‘wall’ bigger and better than dortmund. South stand 2 tiers plus the corners. 60k +
Just get promoted then price it accordingly

Never move away from Elland road

What do we think?
There have been suggestions that Andrea Radrizzani does want to expand the stadium – with Phil Hay suggesting that there are tentative plans in place to increase the capacity of Elland Road to 50,000.
If this were to happen and Radrizzani decides to expand Elland Road, then judging by the replies, these Leeds fans and Whelan will be happy.
