Quote: GUBRATS "Ah but we did get there , and were very very close to staying there as well , we were nowhere near disgraced in SL last year
Its a bit like buying a lottery ticket or having a ' punt ' , you know its highly unlikely you'll win , but it does make the heart beat faster , proving you are actually alive'"
1. 6 Wins is a disgrace......Salford with 6 wins this year are propped up by Widnes and you were propped up by Widnes.....all three clubs have not a snowballs chance in Hell of winning SL, but they are canon fodder for those trying to reach the Holy Grail that is the safety of the Super 8's......
2. It's not the buying of the Lottery ticket of the betting slip....it's whose money is used to buy it and the expected returns......Del spent money, Del arranged to get more money when Leigh went down, Del has spent that money and now Leigh look to be heading part time at best......I have no doubt the short term buzz of SL was great, but I am also sure that the long term damage it did will hurt for a fair few years.....like the 3k fans who haven't bothered this year.....attendances will shrink and the SL trip will fade into time.....
