East Road is a fairly simple site 1, and is only really useful for decks with few companions. If all or most of your Fellowship's set up in the starting Fellowship then it's likely that this site will not hurt you much, and may help you out against your opponent. The site is also useful if you don't want any other site 1 (Dwarf Fellowships don't get much out of site 1s) but want to stop an opponent getting out a beneficial site such as The Prancing Pony. Finally, it is useful if you have a very expensive shadow, and may assist with heavy site 2 attacks, such as site 2 swarm decks, or Nazgul (Who are likely to benefit from either this site or your site 2).
