So leeds haven't been down??

Leeds have never been relegated like Warrington, but unlike Warrington, Leeds haven't spent their entire time in the top division. They only joined the new Northern League the year AFTER it was formed.

Thanks WF111
In which case I will therefore refer the honorable gentleman, topsaint, to the statement I made earlier.

I ought to have said 1895. 1879 being the year wire were founded.

After some deeper research (I don't trust Wiki) it would appear I was incorrect. My sincere apologies to rubber duckie.



P.S. I hate it when Rogues is right.

Your a big man top saint.

here it is this particular year was superb reference..

Perhaps you should have done your research first before accusing people of lying.

Thanks for you research RG.

Lying is a bit strong though.
He had a difference of opinion because he was unaware of the history.
With your help he was educated and held his hand up and in doing so revealed his embarrassment to you especially.
Takes a big man to admit rather than retreat into silence.
It's not always right to make another swipe after such a gesture.

No, he accused me of lying.


And his apology was to you.

But maybe you have point and it's now better put to bed.

Interesting thread. I was not aware of the 1900 relegation for Saints either. So educated here too.

Just on a side issue from the VT, there is a legal point being made that a club only exsists until it goes into administration. So from that Bradford v 6.0 have not been relegated either as well as Leeds and Wakefield v (not sure what number they are on).
