 Football League president John McKenna, cited Huddersfield's midweek home League fixture against Bury on 9 September 1919.The game realised only £49 in gate money, and McKenna said that such meagre support was not conducive to any club retaining Football League membership.The crisis came to a head following the poor turn out for Huddersfield's 3-0 home win over Fulham in a Second Division match on 1 November 1919.
