Morning Leeds-in for 2 July: Bremner Square seems to be taking shape

Bremner Square seems to be coming along quite nicely.

Per the club’s official website:

The project represents an opportunity for supporters to become part of Elland Road for years to come and celebrates the history of the club, players, managers and supporters from far and wide.

Stones purchased after the first installation deadline, 15th April 2018, will be installed during the second installation process, which is set to take place before 2019. Don’t miss out on this fantastic opportunity to become part of Leeds United history!

6,000 bricks have already been purchased and are being installed before the beginning of the season, and it all looks really good. For all of the blunders that Andrea Radrizzani has done over the past year or so in charge of Leeds, one of the best things he’s done is to spruce up Elland Road and he also seems committed to making the area around it better as well.
