Leeds United
Stadium name: Elland Road

Address: Elland Road, Leeds, LS11 0ES

Getting there: By car, leave the M621 at the junction with the A643. Follow the A643 into Elland Road for the ground. Go down Elland Road past the ground on your right and the Old Peacock pub on your left, you will come to a couple of entrances to a couple of very large car parks (£5).

By rail, Leeds train station is around a 35 minute walk from the station. Probably best to either take a taxi or one of the shuttle buses, that run from near the station to the ground.

Capacity: 39,460

Away-end capacity: Away fans are housed on one side of the John Charles Stand (towards the South Stand), in the upper tier where up to 3,000 supporters can be housed.

Food: Cheeseburgers (£3.80), Burgers (£3.60), Peppered Steak Pies (£3), Chicken Balti Pies (£3) Potato and Meat Pies (£3) and Cheese, Onion and Potato Pies (£3).

Beer: Fosters Lager, John Smith's Bitter and Strongbow Cider (all £3.60 a pint), plus small bottles of red and white wine (£4).

Programme price: £3

Pubs for away fans: At the ground itself on the corner of the South and West Stands is Howards, a dedicated bar for away supporters. Opening two hours before kick off, you need to show your away ticket to gain entrance. There is also the Drysalters pub which is about a ten minute walk away from the ground.

Interesting fact: During the club's first 15 years, their club colours were based on arch-rivals Huddersfield Town, with then Town chairman Hilton Crowther was so eager to merge the two clubs together.

Famous fan: Australian actor Russell Crowe is a huge fan and was involved in a bizarre takeover attempt earlier this year.

Legendary player: Billy Bremner - "King Billy" as he was known, went onto become the club's captain for many of their 'glory years' in the sixties and seventies.

Club high point: Reaching the semi-finals of the Champions League in the 2000/01 season before being knocked out by eventual beaten finalists Valencia.

Club low point: Relegation from the Premier League just two years later represented a spectacular fall from grace, with the Whites tumbling down to League One.

Prediction for their season ahead: It's difficult to predict anything at Elland Road while Massimo Cellino remains in such an authoritative position.

Uwe Rosler will be backed in the transfer market following the lifting of their transfer embargo but the former Wigan Athletic man faces a difficult task in securing anything more than a comfortable mid-table finish.
