Those were hard years for the city as a whole let alone the club. Bits of Leeds city centre were falling apart coupled with crippling unemployment in a lot of areas in or surrounding Leeds. Was still a great place to grow up though with long hot summers spent in Roundhay Park or anywhere else you could kick a ball or ride a bike.

God Roundhay Park had some great concerts in the 1980s - Rolling Stones, Springs****, Madonna, Genesis, Michael Jackson, Simple Minds etc.
