Leeds will rise again, Ridsdale promises fans

UNDER-FIRE Leeds chairman Peter Ridsdale met disgruntled fans at Elland Road yesterday and promised them: “We will build again.”

Leeds fans have vented their anger on Ridsdale at recent matches following the £9million sale of Jonathan Woodgate to Newcastle during the January transfer window.

Woodgate was the sixth international to leave Leeds since Terry Venables took over as manager Rio Ferdinand, Robbie Keane, Lee Bowyer, Olivier Dacourt and Robbie Fowler were the others and his departure was the final straw for many fans.
