Leeds United have asked Huddersfield Town to foot the bill for their hotel, which Leeds claim was essential to avoid their players making a 13-mile drive.
Huddersfield Town CEO Nigel Clibbens said "having left empty-handed from the game, Leeds are now asking for Huddersfield’s help to pay their bills!"
“Leeds have told us that the 12.00pm kick-off had ‘necessitated’ an overnight stay because their players ‘would have been leaving home at an unreasonable hour in terms of match preparation time.’
“Therefore, under Football League regulations, we should pay. Clibbens added: “Leeds’ claim is as sad as it is laughable, but cannot be dismissed as they intend to deduct the cash from what they owe us from match ticket sales.
The credit crunch and the recession must be hitting Leeds hard or is this just typical of Bates?
