Did they also have to play crowd noise over the PA system to make it sound like there were actually people there

For the filming of the movie or just in general??

Looks to be a fair few in that Main Stand, first time it's been full in well over 4 years!

Must make a change to have folk in the ground and for said folk to not automatically begin howling BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! FOOOOOOOOOOOOOORRRWARRRRRD!!! GERREMONSIDEGANSONYERFECKER!!!! BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

They did have actual people in the crowd scenes too. They got paid £70 so that's where they got their pledge money from.

Given that the main stand portrayed in that movie was actually filmed at Elland Rd, then you'd be wrong.

HTH

Fixed typo.

3 brand new stands since then. only the west stand unchanged




H-T-H

Your acknowledgement that the main stand at Elland Road was used during the speech elements of the Prince stammering his way through his first public address as it resembles a main stand from 1925 is duly noted.

Odsal Stadium was selected because of its resemblance to Wembley Stadium in 1925.

HTH

i have no idea if it was used or not to be honest, i have no interest in the film. i was just correcting your statement that the stadium has not been developed since the 1940's, which it has been transformed.

also under the west stand it has been totally transformed. having had the pleasure of refereeing on there numerous times the changing rooms are of uefa standard.

i would agree the seating area needs developing in that stand but finances are they are that won't happen

I made no such statement about Elland Rd.

I merely responded to someone else who stated that the film scene in The King's Speech [i"needed a location that looks like it's not been developed since the 1940's"[/i. That person assumed the filming location was Odsal in order to fit in with the childish agenda of the thread... it was in fact the main stand at Elland Rd!

Keith tents to bend the truth a little tad mate - I wouldn't believe a word he types if I were you.

Oh dear!

It's no different from a Saturday afternoon but they normally locate them in either the South or South/East corner stands!

Those will be the areas of Elland Road that have been redeveloped since the 1940's then (according to Tad Rhino)?

For the purposes of the film, the Main Stand at Elland Rd fitted the bill perfectly.

In fact I think you will find all the stands at ER have been redevloped or upgraded at some point since the 1940's.

But my post was actually referring to the poor dig of 'THE DAY THEY FILLED ELLAND ROAD WITH DUMMIES!!!'

Leeds fans found to be full of hot air.

No change there, then.

Bradford Bulls found to win nothing in 2011.

No change there, then.

Must be nice for Keith to remind us of when he heard the kings speech in person over t'wireless, when he was actually a decent troll, pioneered trolling by carrier pigeon and his material was new and fresh.

Dem' were t'days!
