What would happen? Stanley at a relative low ebb, the mighty Leeds resurgent.
Anyway, to cut a long story short there was not one thing better at Leeds than at Stanley.
The moans of 31,000 versus the vibrant songs and drums of a few hundred Ultras. £33 versus £9. The football less exciting, the fans less friendly (some were fighting amongst themselves after the match). There was no escape from the cold into a nice warm carpeted clubhouse at half time. Further away from the action...in a ground like Elland Road I would never be able to see the Don's muscles ripple as he glided down the wing. the list was endless.
And so, tempted by the devil I emerged from the wilderness. A Stanley glory hunter I shall remain.

Lord D, sounds just like I imagined it would be. Just remember supporting Stanley you will only get one good season every 5 years, the other 4 are spent at the wrong end of the table...
