what is The South Leeds Stadium? I'm guessing you don't live in Leeds? It's a stadium (in er..South Leeds..) that hosts quite a few sports like Athletics, and the Leeds reserves have played some of their games too. It's get a major makeover, with an international swimming pool being built. When its finished it will be named after the great man himself! |

Erm I'm not sure actually, their ground is Garforths Wheatley Park Stadium. |
