Leeds receive boost from cop cash

Leeds United have received some rare good news this summer - and a windfall - from the local police.

The Daily Mail reports police chiefs have handed Leeds United more than £1.2 million after the High Court ruled that the Championship football club had been overcharged for policing at home games, a judge has heard.

But Leeds' bosses claim that they are still owed more than £800,000, Sir David Eady was told.

The figures emerged on Friday after the judge examined the latest stage of the dispute between West Yorkshire Police and Leeds.
