How is education supposed to make me feel smarter? Besides, every time I learn something new, it pushes some old stuff out of my brain. Remember when I took that home winemaking course, and I forgot how to drive?:icons077e_files/4864-863FALH-msnicons.jpg |

Get LEIGH outta wigan: |

| Quote: jonny the leyther "The problem with the parking isn't the amount of spaces. The problem is that to go to a game at lsv you have to drive. If you go to Warrington, people from st Helen's, Wigan and further afield can train it in.'"
If you come from yorkshire you need to drive but not from wigan st helens or warrington. |

Yeh maybe, I did this today. Atherton is rough as hell, you don't want to stick around too long. The place in terms of transport links is a pain in the to get to. |

LOL!!! Your right !!! 
There are talks ongoing about Leigh having a station again.
Its a cracking stadium with and complex, and better Links into the Town will complement this nicely.
For 10300 to turn up for a 'no brainer game' and leave only 2500 seats outstanding, I feel the RFL made a good choice.
Whether people like it or not, LSV and the village have facilities some glorified SL clubs playing in dumps can only dream of. Plenty fans stayed in the 4 star hotel opposite and made the most of what was on offer!!
Some on here need to stop sniping at what is a true RL Town. We all support the same club, so get behind the lads!! |

Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity
Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike
SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done
But he with a chuckle replied
That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it!:9005.jpg |

And your ' location ' is Manchester ? , when visiting the Wright Robinson complex I make sure the car is locked and I have my baseball bat and rotweiler to hand
Easy isn't it  |

probably why 7 million people live in London then ?

Yes but it's still a dump , maybe just like Leigh , but bigger , we haven't yet reached the point where when advertising jobs in shop/bar windows , we have to request that applicants speak English , admittedly there aren't any jobs , but we still have 99 percent of our population that can speak the language
I haven't visited London other than to watch sport or on business a couple of times , I have no wish to , I don't like large cities , they are full of ignorant d...heads , I recently had to drive through Manchester during the rush hour , I only wish I had been in a 50 ton tank then I could have ' cleansed ' the place of a few hundred

Have you just slated London, then said you've hardly ever been there?

can't disagree with any of that mate,though I have family in London who really love being there,I lived and worked there in the 70s and it was great especially with all the big sporting events to watch - it takes all sorts ! - I have friends in Norwich who commute daily to London for £20 grand a year more than they can earn in norfolk
met an english chap in Limoges the other day from Haverhill in sleepy suffolk,a town of about 20,000 people - apparently the local Tescos has a check-out 'manned' by polish speaking staff ! - ok,I know britain has changed a lot since I lived there and I am naiive but that really takes the biscuit for me !  |

I have visited to watch sport and a couple of times on business , I wasn't impressed , just as we have people on here slating Leigh after 1 visit to the LSV
I don't like any large cities jonny , and I'm not having anybody having a ' pop ' and not getting a reply
Cities are nothing more than groups of small towns all clumped together , and yet some try to make out they are superior , and the people in them superior , they aren't |

What's the general pop at Leigh? I can't be bothered going through a 16 page thread.
