Leeds United are planning to expand Elland Road stadium to 50,000 if they get promoted to the Premier League, reports, www.sportspromedia.com/.

The announcement was made by the club's managing director, Angus Kinnear, during a civic reception to mark the team's 100th anniversary.

The planned extension will take place on the West Stand, matching the East Stand in terms of height, with Kinnear wanting the venue to "compete with other stadiums in the Premier League and in Europe."

But any move to take Elland Road's capacity from just over 37,000 to 50,000 is dependent on a top-flight return for Leeds, according to the Yorkshire Post's Graham Smyth.

Last season, they had the second highest average attendance in the Championship with 34,033, second only to eventual playoff winners Aston Villa.
