Impressed by the activity and support of the Leeds fans, Crowther (without consulting his fellow Huddersfield directors) offered to amalgamate Huddersfield Town with the newly formed Leeds United club. In the eyes of many, Leeds had been deprived of the chance to become one of the best centres of football in Yorkshire due to the misdemeanours of the disbanded club's officials, so a meeting with the United committee to discuss the possibilities of an amalgamation was welcomed in Leeds. The request for transference of Huddersfield Town to Leeds was duly sent to the Football League.
