was it that early, I would have said 83ish. I'm sure city would have had a vote too and I'd like to see which way they did. Five clubs couldn't force it through if 87 said no.
Anyway after that I was pissed off with united and stopped going for many years because I believed that for us to stay at the top we need smaller clubs to keep producing top players for them to sell and survive. I went to watch town a few times then headingley rugby union club. Stopped watching them when they joined with roundhay and become Leeds. Never watch owt that's called Leeds in the title.
