Football Insider has been told by Viva Mukherjee that Leeds United can grow their matchday revenue to £40million at a expanded stadium.
added that Leeds’ new ownership group have put aside £200million for stadium development once the side returns to the Premier League.
It is understood that plans will be delayed while Leeds remain in the Championship, and the Whites have started their 2023/24 campaign poorly with a draw to Cardiff and a loss to Birmingham City.that a stadium expansion could help Leeds increase revenues by as much as 65 per cent.“The current capacity of Elland Road sits at 37,890, and plans to expand the stadium seem to involve rebuilding or renovating the West Stand to grow capacity to 55,000.
“That £24.5million figure was achieved despite Leeds having the second-lowest season ticket prices in the Premier League at an average of £646. “They also have a 22,000 waiting list for their season tickets, so filling a 55,000-capacity stadium won’t be an issue. “Overall, I expect matchday revenue to rise to £40.4million at a new stadium – a 65 per cent increase on current revenue.”
