00:00An interesting segment about the development of Elland Road as well and actually finally

00:08getting numbers of you know potential capacities and all that sort of thing and as I was saying

00:13you know shopping lists for spades about you know actually getting this thing in motion.

00:32bode well that they are getting their ducks in a row if you will before that happens.

00:38Kinnear makes it sound like more of an ongoing project than an airy fairy

00:44vague promise to do something once they get promoted. I don't know that it was going to

00:51happen under the previous ownership unless Leeds you know stayed in the Premier League for

00:56five years and beyond and were absolutely bathing in Premier League cash but this regime
