SIDELINES : English Soccer Club Warned
FROM TIMES WIRE SERVICES
LONDON —
A first-division English soccer team was warned today that it could be expelled if there is another incident of fan violence similar to the one that accompanied a victory in May.
The Football Assn., English soccer’s governing body, said it would revoke Leeds United’s membership as “the ultimate sanction.”
“It is not a likely scenario, but it is a possible scenario,” said David Bloomfield, the FA’s spokesman.
About 2,000 Leeds fans rampaged through Bournemouth, England, before, during and after a victory that clinched the club’s promotion to Division 1 in the season’s final game.
