Elland Road re-listed as Asset of Community Value
Elland Road has been listed as an Asset of Community ValueThe ground was first listed in 2017 but the statues expires after five yearsLeeds United fans have had the club's Elland Road stadium re-listed as an Asset of Community Value .
Leeds City Council placed the 38,000-capacity venue on its list of ACVs after considering a nomination from the Leeds United Supporters’ Trust that was backed by the football club. The listing means that if the stadium and its land came up for sale the local community would be given a chance to bid for it.LUST thanked the club's owners for their support and said the listing "recognises the role of our historic ground and club within the community and offers some protection against worst-case scenarios of asset stripping".
"This means Leeds fans can now exercise their community right to keep Leeds United at its spiritual home, by protecting Elland Road’s future and being part of any process in the event of it being sold," the trust said.
The club has recently been taken over by 49ers Enterprises, which owns the US football team the San Francisco 49ers.
