If true I don't find it amusing at all, a real shame.

I miss the games with Leeds. Despite the rivalry and in some cases hatred, they have a proper team and fanbase. I hope they get out of this and eventually get back up as the games v them were cracking games.
Anyone who ever visited Elland Road in the 60s 70s 80s or 90s will testify. The rivalry is real and was long before and after 1973. Most of us will have witnessed away days at Leeds and been a part of 5,000-10,000+ turnouts - I for one miss those days. Mind you, such is their fancies if worst came to the worst they could easily cover that with a whip round!! - Big club fallen on hard times with a large passionate support - even if they have their share of idiots (who doesn't?)

I actually feel sorry for the fans. They are just like us. We are all Northerners trying to do well for the fans. I blame businessman Ken Bates for the turmoil and debt the club was and still is, in. I bet he's not down to his last £150K

The club was in a mess before Bates arrived, he didn't cause the problems but he didn't improve anything either, other than his bank balance

Mixed feelings here.
Part of me wants to say fuck um, another part of me says serves them right.

Absolutely hate Leeds with a passion. But, I would hate to see them go out of business and would much prefer to have them up in the Premier League along with the Boro over and above the likes of Crystal Palace, Reading et al so we can continue have games with intense rivalry and also a strong northern presence in the league.

I agree with all of this but don't understand the bit in bold.

It's a petition to wind up the club but it's just a wind up though it has put the wind up a lot of fans. Hope that helps.

If that is true, I'm surprised , probably because when I was in my formative football years they were one of the most successful clubs in Britain although everybody hated them . I suppose it's like my dad (90) is shocked if Huddersfield Town get beat by Liverpool .

They're such a massive club, a perceived 'small club' Boro have spent more years in the top flight. Go figure
