Quote: SaleSlim "How has the new stadium affected Salford attendances ? Up or down ? I personally ,as Wire fan, think it is easier to get to but a nightmare to get off ,but it does look better than the Willows. My last memory of there was when a Salford fan set fire to the scoreboard....nobody seemed bothered & the game carried on. I wonder if they even phoned the fire brigade ?'"


What has this remotely got to do with Koukash potentially getting involved at Leigh?
Well seeing as i wasn't the first to mention Salford on this topic ,my thoughts are would the Doctor have had more success at Salford if the club had still been at the Willows among its long term fan base & would success have attracted more fans to make the club more viable than being out at Barton where ,apart from its first season, attendances have dropped as you assert. Perhaps Marwan would benefit Leigh if he is coming into a club that has not moved from its fanbase.
Incidentally ,have Sale Sharks benefitted from the new stadium ?

Quote: nadera78 "Wasps lose millions every year and have been forced to refinance their debts a couple of times already because they were unable to make the repayments. They're not a success story at all.'"

I believe they are in debt to the tune of 50 million, with 60% to the bank and 40% to the owner. I suspect if you wanted to build a stadium of that magnitude again, you'd be spending a similar amount, so they're not panicking just yet. As for not being a success at all.....they have 17k average gates where they used to have 6k......fiscally they're owned by a very wealthy man so the debt isn't yet a problem, but they're far better off than they were at wycombe....compare their story with say Bradford and tell me which is the bigger basket case?

Quote: Huddersfield1895 "Other Super League clubs don't appear to want to cut their academies. Most odd when you consider that championship sides London and Newcastle run academies.'"

& some want to run an Academy & have proven funds to run one at the highest level *Leigh* but are not allowed to !

Quote: Bulls4 "I’m not sure Dr K would want to swap his millions and properties / assets for a stadium in Leigh. No offence at all to Leigh but he’s likely to make more money from his current assets than a stadium'"

Probably true, yet the stadium at LSV makes revenue from Manchester United Reserves, Manchester United Ladies, Leigh Centurions, Rugby League Internationals, Lionel Ritchie & Elton John concerts.

Meanwhile over at Odsal .......
