Leeds United tribunal date set

Promotion chasing Leeds United will begin their attempt to have a 15-point deduction overturned on Wednesday April 23rd.

An independent tribunal will meet to decide if the Football League were right to deduct the points following the Elland Road club's relegation to League One.

Chairman Ken Bates, writing in Saturday's match programme, stated that Leeds have been "deluged with paperwork from the Football league's solicitors" and accused them of "trying to muddy the waters in the hope that the real issues are obscured."

He claimed that the League have yet to inform him what Leeds did wrong to lose 15 points; that Leeds complied with the League's regulations and rules and the laws of the land and that they feel the 15 points should be reinstated.
