"Elland Road is a wonderfully atmospheric ground but given the local traffic congestion, getting there, particularly on a Friday evening, is invariably tortuous. The prospect of exacerbating that gridlock dictates that the club's plans to expand Elland Road to 53,000 appear in potential jeopardy. Leeds city council will make a final, delayed, decision on the project on 27 November but, with 65% of the team's fans driving to matches, there is concern about the inevitable extra traffic chaos."
"Marc Guiu started the season at Sunderland, having found himself out of Enzo Maresca's plans and needing to learn about life in the Premier League after a slow first year in England. As a teenager arriving from Barcelona's La Masia, it was not a surprise that the striker needed time to adapt even if he made a few cameos along the way before the Black Cats came calling. Then Liam Delap got injured and Chelsea were in a bit of a vice, so brought back Guiu."
Leeds faces potential jeopardy for a planned expansion of Elland Road to 53,000 because local traffic congestion makes matchday access difficult, especially on Friday evenings. Sixty-five percent of fans currently drive to matches; the club aims to reduce that to 51% to limit extra traffic chaos. Public-transport improvements are necessary because Leeds lacks a metro system, and cycling is impractical for most supporters given the area's topography. Marc Guiu began the season at Sunderland after falling out of favour at Chelsea and adapting to life in the Premier League following his arrival from Barcelona's La Masia. Guiu has recently shown promising form, including a half against Nottingham Forest and a goal against Ajax.
