AFC Bournemouth supporters club ‘The Cherries Trust’ have written to Dorset police over the scheduling of their home fixture with Leeds United. The Whites are set to head to the Vitality Stadium on April 29, which is the beginning of the May bank holiday weekend.
The Cherries Trust’s concerns stem from the trouble from a meeting between the two clubs 32 years ago in 1990, when Leeds made the trip to the South Coast in early May knowing a win would secure promotion back to the First Division.
Lee Chapman’s goal was the difference between the two sides on the day, which as a result earned Leeds the title and a return to the top-flight. But it was the chaos off the field which has sparked immediate concerns from the Cherries Trust after today’s fixture release.
