RELEGATION OF LEEDS UNITED

Early day motion 1143, tabled 6 May 2004 by Colin Burgon (Labour). Signed by 11 members.

That this House is saddened to see Leeds United relegated to the first division; considers that a great city like Leeds should naturally be represented in the premiership; praises the way that Leeds fans have displayed great enthusiasm and determination to support their team in difficult circumstances which contrasts with, given notable exceptions, the approach of several players; hopes that the financial problems facing the club can be overcome; and believes that an organised approach, avoiding the dangers of boom and bust and giving greater supporter involvement, will soon help Leeds regain its rightful premiership status.

Signatures by party: Labour 10, Liberal Democrat 1.
