Would that be merely during the Superleague era?

I wouldnt mind but Leigh sports village was built and was supposed to be their saviour, now their fans complain that its actually a millstone round their neck.

Perhaps the Leigh sports village is in itself a sign of the hubris of the people of Leigh. A stadium built far in excess of what they needed. In reality a small 6k stadium would have been enough for the Centurians and Leigh RMI.
When you think about it, Leigh in a good year only average 2500 fans. Therefore why build a 12k stadium.
It is the equivalent of Wigan building a ground the size of Old Trafford.

Leigh are definately in the mire. My bosses son plays for them and they have been told they are being paid this month but late and not sure about any future pay. They were hoping that the RFL had just one league below superleague as they say there is just not enough home games with the spectators to make it viable. Feel for their players and fans really.

Tough.

What makes Leigh special? Everyone is having a hard time.

Founder club or no you can't expect to survive on no crowd and mis-management.

I'm sorry to show my age and ignorance but I don't "do" twittter.
What is a "follower" anyway; its always sounded a bit demeaning to an old git like me? Why should anyone want to follow anyone?

On your second point as far as Leigh is concerned I'm pretty sure they have gone bust before. Its a shame for a club with such a history (e.g. founder member of the first "22" for the northern league) that their fans are not turning out in sufficient numbers for them.

Spot On.

Leigh are a good club who I want to see continue in the Championship but they just keep on spending beyond their means. You just feel the second they are out of the hot water we will be back to them wanting to be in Super League. What we need are clubs that are stable and Leigh seem anything but that.

They just don't seem to learn.
