they talk about baseball here all the fucking time.
i was at the game that promoted us into the first division! it was away at bournemouth, where i now live. chapman scored in the last few minutes and there was a pitch invasion. it's like i came down for that game and somehow never left! i'm actually hoping we don't go up this year. bugger the premiership as far as i'm concerned, i prefer the random nature of the championship.
anyways, yeah that disco will be forty year old bald men and their foreign wives. maybe all the proper mancunians (ie - man city fans) will go and they will find common ground in their hatred of manchester united.

I was nine! But the video from that season is still one of the best pieces of film I've ever seen. The tackles flying in in the Sunderland game...
The scions of Bournemouth were talking about that game just last week...

Maybe Mel Sterland's memory of May 5th, 1990 has been skewed by the amount of alcohol he admittedly consumed that day.
Unfortunately we locals have a less rose-tinted view of that terrible weekend – marred as it was by the rioting Leeds "supporters".
Ask any Bournemouth supporter there that day how good a party it was: kids and elderly people mugged for their match tickets; bricks and concrete thrown at fans indiscriminately; widespread damage to homes and shops – and a stain on the name of football in our town that has hampered the club's efforts to progress ever since.
It is sad that your journal – and Leeds United Football Club for that matter – wish to airbrush this incident from history.

l Mel Sterland recalling AFC Bournemouth v Leeds in 1990 as a party is outrageous. It was a riot. 5000 Leeds scum came to our town, many wearing 'Invasion Bournemouth 1990' t-shirts, and spent 3 days terrorising innocent locals, stealing from local shops, throwing bricks, setting light to cars and attacking the police. If that is seen as a party in Leeds then I pity you.
Our club was not allowed by local police to play bank holiday games for 15 years following that day – costing us a small fortune.
I think an apology to all of those in Bournemouth who suffered injury and loss as a result of this 'party' would be in order.

Has anyone told them they're very silly boys and should really, really not split up? It's a crime against all that is good in the world.

i was six! they let me and my eight year old brother in for free because as a family we only had three tickets (my father, my mother and my older sister). i remember seeing riot police but it was very over-blown.
still, everyone in bournemouth remembers that day for a different reason than they mentioned. they were relagated.

Ah, the advantage of parental instruction. I had to work it all out myself. I got my dad to take me to the game against Norwich in 92 when we collected the Championship trophy. My first game, and Cantona was playing! My dad fell asleep.
A fellow from Bournemouth temped here for a while. Among his first words to me were "right, I'm fucking well from Bournemouth so I fucking hate you Leeds fans, the city, the people, everything, for what you did in 1990." He then went on to list every bit of collatoral damage done.
I mean, we put a banner on the Town Hall! What more do they want?

My Dad fell asleep during every film he ever took me to, except the Superman films. We went to see Ghostbusters, which he fell asleep right through. On the way out we walked past the manager and my dad told him the film was "a load of bloody rubbish".

i believe i did that at a southampton match too!
i can't believe i've missed out on all the bournemouth hatred. i've been there since the early nineties and no-one has ever even stopped me in the street for wearing a leeds shirt. must have blown over. or maybe they feel sorry for me!
