Leeds United Managing Director Angus Kinnear has lent his support to the Leeds United Supporters’ Trust upon the news that they have successfully applied for Elland Road to become an Asset of Community Value.

Elland Road has been a key part of the local community since the 19th century and has been the home of Leeds United since 1919.

The board, led by owner Andrea Radrizzani, purchased the stadium back from a private landlord this summer and various areas internally and externally have subsequently been refurbished.

With the support of Leeds City Council and the Club, this application by the Supporters’ Trust prevents Elland Road from being sold in the future without community groups being informed and given an opportunity to prepare their own bid.

Managing Director Angus Kinnear said: “We are pleased to support the Leeds United Supporters’ Trust in their application to make our home an Asset of Community Value.

“Elland Road is an historic venue and has been at the heart of the community in Leeds since before the Club was founded.

“We congratulate the Supporters’ Trust for the hard work and dedication they have shown throughout this process and we look forward to exciting times ahead for Leeds United and our supporters at Elland Road.”

The Leeds United Supporters’ Trust announced the successful application earlier today.
