Walked past lovely ER today and saw that there was some building work happening on the South Stand.
That's where 'Billy's Bar' is going right?

Yep. Here's what the YEP says:
United's summer makeover will once against cover all areas of the club, and the £1.3m earned by United during Sunday's defeat to Watford has already been set aside for refurbishment of Elland Road. The stadium will see the opening of Billy's Bar next season, a pub dedicated to former United captain Billy Bremner, and plans are being drawn up for two hotels beside the stadium, an idea which mirrors the Chelsea Village masterminded by Bates during his reign at Stamford Bridge. United's chairman said: "It's important to look forward in football. The Play-off final was disappointing but that was then and this is now. We've got a lot of work to do before next season. "Certain parts of the ground, like the East Stand, need a lick of paint, and I know people say 'so what?' But a stitch in time saves nine. "The sponsors seem to be getting excited, and over the next few weeks I'm expecting us to see deals coming in almost every day. We've reviewed our staff, and those who were brought in for short-term jobs have been told 'thank you and goodbye'. There's no such thing as a free ticket any more.
