I cannot see any alternative to liquidation and a fresh start in League 1, if anyone feels its worth the effort, that is. There are too many lawsuits by former and current players for any potential investor to take the risk. A new club would be comfortably the biggest in that division and (should they be able to attract players given recent player payment issues!) would be strong favourites to go back up, unless there was some sort of points deduction and financial penalty. From there, it would be mid-table mediocrity in the Championship for the foreseeable future and crowds of 1500. Might be just best to pick Leigh Miners or Leigh East and enjoy local lads playing the amateur game, without enduring all the tinpot running of the 'professional' element of the sport!


As for Beaumont, what he has done to the club is unforgiveable.

Aren’t Barrow already in the championship?

That’s super duper league fans for you. No idea about anything outside of the elite environment of Wakefield.

I feel for you mate and it’s sickening.

I doubt it’ll come to liquidation. Administration maybe - new owner then gets to pay a bit more to the people they want to deal with again and bin off any debts.

Start next season on minus 6 in the championship and possibly a deduction in central funding.

Keeping my fingers crossed. The owners are only ever custodians of the club but it’s the fans that get the sh17 end of the stick. Plus the crappy comments from know all fans of other clubs. As if you have any idea about the accounts of the club.

You’ll be right I’m sure.

well if survival is finishing 5th for the second time in a row then yes I'll except that now for next season, proof is in the pudding having three players in the dream team means we are going in the right direction,

oh and good luck with game at the weekend I'll be rooting for you but you do realise you will be favourites for the drop next season as you have no pedigree and you'll plummet like a stone unlike us who know how to tread water and have mastered the art of survival

as for talking about grounds please do tell us when you tend to stay put

Have you got a source for that please?

You may want to look up the difference between liquidation and administration. As a pointer the 'old' Bradford club that disappeared in 2016 was only liquidated in April of this year. Liquidation is very terminal.

Yes I know what the difference is, they aren't going into administration, the plan as it stands is for Beaumont to liquidate the club.

is it really ? that's not what DB told me on sunday at leigh miners ground.

I doubt he is but hardly the actions of a man who is supposed to love the Club. If he did that it's extremely unlikely there will ever be another (pro) Leigh club.

As requested earlier, have you got a source for that please?

Do you mean he wasn't suffering at Dewsbury, like the rest of us then? I hope someone was there, in an 'official capacity' to represent our club!
