As far as I know White is still on loan at Oldham although I'm not sure he was getting a regular place in the side.

I saw Tom Lees in a pre-season match at York before last season and I thought he looked very good. A full season at Bury will have given him valuable game time, hopefully one for the future and to be fair he cannot perform any worse than some of our centre backs this season.

Is it true the top tier of the main stand is being converted into conference rooms and corporate boxes at Elland Road? How are they going to do it?

Part of the upper east is, it's the first phase of Bates redevelopment of the east stand which will also bring a hotel and shopping centre to Beeston.

Ah, so they're not taking the seats out of the upper tier then?

They've already taken loads out, I'm guessing it's to enable them to start on the row of rlnew executive boxesrl and then re-instate the seats after the works are complete
rlThisrl and rlthisrl illustrate it better

and that gentlemen is where the moneys going

Sounds positive.

Because Bates made such a positive financial success for his club of Chelsea Village, even with the advantage of it being on King's Road not in Beeston...

spot on

What good is a hotel in Beeston going to do FFS? Apart from LUFC there isn't a lot to look at in the area. Surely you get the team right on the field before building hotels etc.
