| Quote: wrencat1873 "The time for Leigh to do any bargaining was before the took their place in SL and not 3/4 of the way through the season.
If they were a couple of wins from safety and prevented from fulfilling their fixtures, then, there may be a case for legal action.
The bottom line is that they took the "free" spot in SL (without earning promotion) and therefore there can be no argument.'"
Agreed. |

Do you think Leigh’s owner thought about that when he publicly laughed at Bradford going bust and in the process hard working people losing their jobs?
No of course not.
Ergo, couldn’t happen to a nicer owner |

Have played the game for over 60 years to a reasonable level and have never heard that term used.. Shows that one is never too old to learn!

I'm quite happy you've learned something there Fred. Next time you're declarer,and you present the defence with 2 losing options,you have achieved the coup, the Morton's Fork. 
My apologies to the Mods for going off topic. |

Morton’s fork: a practical dilemma, especially one in which both choices are equally undesirable |

If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters. This struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical one; or it may be both moral and physical; but it must be a struggle.

Sixty years?!?
Hell of a career that!
I always enjoy your recollections of games from years ago, I'm quite envious of the legendary games you've attended. |

Leigh do seem to be (borrowing a phrase from Diane Morgan) at a fork in its crossroads.

Gotcha! Let Leigh go down, and try to rebuild somehow, and let's go from there. This season has been a washout. |

It was always going to be mission impossible when Leigh came up. Hope you have a better set of circumstances the next time Leigh achieve promotion. |
