The West Stand, also known as the Leppings Lane End, has undergone several incarnations since its inception as a covered terrace for 3,000 at the turn of the century.

In 2007, the club agreed a sponsorship deal with Carlsberg, giving them naming rights to the stand.

It was transformed in the 1920's when, first, a small stand was built in the north-west corner to adjoin with the North Stand, and then the original Leppings Lane stand was replaced by a 12,000 capacity, partially-covered terrace.

Once again, prior to the 1966 World Cup, the West Stand was demolished and rebuilt (the north-west corner underwent the same process early in 1967) to form the basis of the existing structure, seating 4,471 in an upper tier above a standing enclosure. It was opened at the World Cup encounter between Switzerland and West Germany on 12th July 1966, and remained largely unchanged until the tragic events on the West Stand Lower at the F.A. Cup Semi-Final on 15th April 1989.

The terracing was closed for two years, and re-emerged with 2,494 seats, to add to those already in the upper tier, and the 1,382 that would be installed in the north-west corner.

Current capacity 7,995
