Leeds United fans show opposition to plans for a European Super League
Fans were outside Elland Road last night protesting
Leeds United fans have showed opposition to plans for a European Super League.
Six English club; Liverpool, Manchester United, Manchester City, Arsenal, Chelsea and Tottenham would be involved alongside AC Milan, Atletico de Madrid, FC Barcelona, FC Internazionale Milano, Juventus, and Real Madrid.
The plans have been met with criticism from many.
Fans were at Elland Road on Monday night (19th April) before they played against Liverpool in the Premier League.
We spoke to fans at the stadium, they said:
"I'm absolutely appalled at how club owners, millionaires can just come in and treat this working class sport, that we all love as their own personal hedge fund.
This is the only sport in the world where you can come from nothing and become someone, you can get all the things that are usually denied to working class kids."
Another fan said:
"They're ruining the game for working class people.
"Without the top 6, then what's left of the Premier League in terms of appeal, it's obviously going to have negative financial impacts."
The opposition was felt by the whole crowd:
"It's demoralising really, as soon as those top 6 go, it kinds of means every competition has it's spirit taken out of it.
"How are some of these top 6 teams, actually the big 6? Spurs haven't won a league title since 1961, Leeds have won 3 since then, so how are they a big team and Leeds aren't?"
