johnh Posted January 25, 2018 Report Share Posted January 25, 2018 Bill, it was rumoured that Elland Road was built on a gypsy encampment. In 1971 Don Revie arranged for Gypsy Rose Lee to do an 'exorcism' of the ground. Didn't know that Derby County had the same problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
