DANIEL FARKE’S SECRET REQUEST FOR THE NEW ELLAND ROAD HOME DRESSING ROOM REVEALED
Construction begins this summer at Elland Road. Find out how Daniel Farke is helping shape the stadium's future atmosphere.
Daniel Farke has shared some thoughts about the dressing room setup and the atmosphere at Elland Road with the folks running the stadium’s expansion, but that’s about as far as his involvement goes.
Leeds United finally got the green light from Leeds City Council on Thursday to expand Elland Road’s capacity to 53,000. Prep work starts right away, and the bigger construction jobs kick off this summer.
The stadium isn’t shutting down during all this. Most of the heavy work will happen over the summer or during international breaks, so games and events can keep rolling.
It’s been seven months since Leeds put in their application—a mix of full permission to expand the West Stand and outline permission for the North Stand. The council held off on a decision at first because of traffic concerns, but now that’s sorted. The City Plans Panel committee voted 11-1 in favour, and honestly, most people seem happy about the whole thing.
When the club first filed for planning, they guessed the project would wrap up by late 2030. Take that with a grain of salt, though—these things always change. Who knows if Farke will still be around by then, but he’ll always have left his mark, even if it’s a small one.
Asked how involved he’s been in the plans, Farke said, “Not too much. I’m not the one who deserves all the credit here. Others should get the praise.
“Sometimes I’ll give my take on little things, like what the home dressing room should look like, or what matters for the atmosphere.
“The main thing is making the stadium bigger so more fans can come, support us, and feel connected. We want to build an even stronger bond with our supporters and the community.
“But at the same time, we can’t lose that traditional charm and the unique Elland Road feel. There are people on this project who are much better at planning that stuff than I am.
“I do toss in a few ideas now and then, from a manager’s or player’s point of view. But making it happen? That’s down to others. I don’t need any praise for this.”
Morrie Eisenberg, Leeds’ chief business officer, is heading up the expansion team. The project pays for itself, with the extra income from more seats going straight back into covering the costs.
Whether Leeds plays in the Premier League or the Championship doesn’t change if the expansion happens, but it does affect things like loan rates and bringing in new investors. That can mess with timelines. So, in that sense, Farke knows his own job matters too.
He said, “Yeah, maybe by helping us get promoted, I can give the stadium project a bit of a push. It’s definitely tougher to pull this off if we’re still in the Championship. That’s important.
“The more successful we are, the easier it is to get this done. I just hope we find the right balance—build a modern, functional stadium with top facilities, but hang on to our traditional charm and that special Elland Road atmosphere. That’s the real goal.”
BREAKING REPORT: CAPTAIN MICKY VAN DE VEN SLAMS "EXPOSED" TACTICS AFTER TUDOR’S DEBUT LOSS
North London is Red! Discover why Micky van de Ven believes Spurs' high-risk tactics failed against a clinical Arsenal side.
_1771790445.webp)
Tottenham captain Micky van de Ven didn’t hold back after Spurs got hammered 4-1 at home by Arsenal. He admitted they took a big risk, and it blew up in their faces.
It was Igor Tudor’s first match in charge, but Spurs looked second best all afternoon. Arsenal showed why they’re top of the league, pulling five points clear by the end.
Eberechi Eze put Arsenal ahead just after the half-hour, but Spurs hit back almost instantly. Randal Kolo Muani pounced on a mistake from Declan Rice and levelled it up just 24 seconds later.
At halftime, it was still anyone’s game. Then Arsenal just took over. Viktor Gyokeres bagged a quick brace, with Eze adding another in between. Spurs couldn’t keep up.
After the match, Van de Ven didn’t sugarcoat it. He said Arsenal deserved the win. Spurs tried going man-to-man with their marking, hoping to press high, but it backfired. Kolo Muani lost track of Eze for the first goal, and Joao Palhinha got beaten to the ball by Gyokeres right after halftime.
“Arsenal was the better team,” Van de Ven said. “At 1-1, we were still in it, but once they scored right after halftime, it got really tough. We could have pressed better. We went high, but Arsenal just played through us. That’s something we have to fix. When you go man for man, if even one guy is late, you’re exposed. You win the ball high; you get chances, but if you miss, you’re wide open. That’s the risk.”
Spurs still haven’t won a league game in 2026 and now sit in 16th, only four points clear of the relegation zone.
Even so, Tudor says he believes they’ll stay up. He knows the job’s huge, but he’s not backing down.
“Yeah, I’m confident we’ll stay up,” Tudor said. “Tough game, bad result. They beat us, and we have to learn from it. We get back to work on Tuesday harder than before. We have to improve everything, every part of our football. There’s a lot to do.”
GLASNER RESPONDS: MANAGER DENIES DISRESPECTING FANS AFTER "GLASNER FINISHED" BANNERS APPEAR AT SELHURST
Oliver Glasner speaks out! Discover why Palace fans held "Finished" banners and how the manager responded after the Wolves win.
Oliver Glasner insists he didn’t disrespect Crystal Palace fans, even after they held up a banner that read "Fans disrespected – Glasner finished” during the 1-0 win over Wolves at Selhurst Park.
The supporters also unfurled another banner, “Opportunities missed, board inept", making it clear they were upset after Glasner told fans to “be humble” when some turned on him during Thursday’s Conference League match against Zrinjski Mostar.
“There were a few boos, and there was a banner. That’s fine. I’ll always speak my mind and say what I believe. I don’t think I ever disrespected anyone,” Glasner said. “People who know me know I’ve got huge respect for everyone; it doesn't matter who they are, what their job is, their background, or anything.”
He gets why the fans are disappointed. He’s frustrated, too. Maybe even more than anyone else, he says, because he’s so ambitious and never satisfied. Glasner admits he might have pushed the players too hard, and he’s willing to take criticism for it.
“That’s fine. What matters is the fans supported the team; they helped us win,” he said. “If they feel disrespected, I’m sorry. I never meant it that way. Maybe I used the wrong words. But I won’t stop saying what I think is right. I tell my own kids all the time: stay humble, and remember where you come from. If anyone felt disrespected, I’m truly sorry. That’s never my intention.”
Glasner also said he’s had clear-the-air talks with the club’s board and that both the hierarchy and the players still back him to lead until the end of the season.
“If the club thinks someone else would get better results, I wouldn’t stand in the way. "That's what I wanted to say,” he explained. “If the players think a different manager would help them do better, I won’t stand in the way. In the end, it’s up to the players. But when I spoke to them, they said they’ve had the best two years of their careers, and they still believe in what we’re doing.
“The club feels the same. If they’d said, ‘We’re not convinced,’ then maybe it’d be time for a change. But that’s not the case. The club believes, the players believe. And of course, I always believe in this team.”
Crystal Palace finally picked up a Premier League home win, a first since November, and there’s some much-needed positivity. But let’s be honest, the banners at Selhurst Park showed that Glasner still has a long way to go to fix things with the fans.
That “fans disrespected – Glasner finished” banner said it all. The frustration is real, especially after Glasner told them to "be humble" following the backlash in Bosnia. He tried to clear the air after Sunday’s game, and while he apologised, his main point was that he doesn’t think he did anything wrong. He didn’t really back down.
Palace got the win, thanks to Evann Guessand’s late goal, but after a shaky performance and another tense press conference, it feels like this standoff between Glasner and the fans is far from over.
