Don't remember it Stevo (first game Feb 1968 by the way). There was a minority IMO of fans that wanted them gone, but that was just normal football fan stuff, and frustration at the way they seemed to hold the fans in contempt - I should say mainly Sullivan. Fine, treat your fans like customers, but don't insult the customers.

I know this has been done to death, but I can't forgive them for shafting us over Yeung - they did well for us overall, and the fact that they're sourly regarded by many is down to them in the main. I reiterate that I didn't want them to go, and appreciate their positives, so am not in either the 'moaner' not 'happy clapper' bracket, but they were architects of their own removal by and large.

Don't forget they refused to sell to him at first even though Yeung had put a £4 mill deposit down. He had to prove he had the money. That's why it took so long to sell the club.

They refused to sell to him because he couldn't come up with the cash, and derided him for being (and they said this publicly) a 'man of straw'.
