Ridsdale v Bates 14 yrs ago

In the absence of the OP bothering to put the full story up (a common theme by a few of late) and to save others the hassle, this is where Mr Ridsdale says he was 'banned from Elland Road' but Master Bates counter claimed it was 'just the Boardroom'

As always, the truth will lay somewhere in the middle and be open to interpretation depending on who people want to believe

Both men are now in the annuls of 'Football Past' and best left there, too...!

My apologies all, didn't realise I had to give a synopsis of a link I post.

How dare someone post a link with no synopsis or summary of what lies within. Sven on a power trip again, embarrassing

Ridsdale did ok for us considering the crap circumstances the club was left in

Well put it out there then! It helps a lot and is surely not beyond you?

I don't disagree; although that will never be accepted by some

I would say he did better than ok for us. He's not without his flaws (the early-bird season ticket renewal fiasco being one), but I think without him we could easily have slipped into administration and plummeted down the leagues and potentially into football oblivion!
