Get LEIGH outta wigan: |
|
|
Its always nice to have an alternate view like the 2 above posters.I'm heartened that not everyone one hates Leigh.
At the end of the day Derek is what he is,you take him with a pinch of salt,you like him or you hate him,its that simple.
The interview after the Batley game is the perfect example,he praised the Batley club,the coach the fans,the history,everything and yet cos it wasnt worded how they want it to be, they're all hissy fitting.
Every club has its loonies and because Leighs fan base is growing,we're now getting them on these forums,but to be fair some of them, i think its over excitement because the team was playing so well.
If you want to take note it will be the same loonies from Leigh responding to the same windup merchants from other clubs,but thats what forums are about isnt it.

I don't dislike Leigh, they've produced some good players over the years.
As others have said they have some idiot fans but eveey club has its share of those.
They just need to realise that all RL clubs need each other and each other's supporters or we haven't got a sport.

Life is pretty simple: You do stuff. Most fails. Some works. You do more of what works.:cartoons/WB24.gif |

Current pantomime villains. Mostly the sound bites from the chairman. Salford just couldn't compete.

Leigh is Wigan's grubby little backyard. It ranks with Wakefield's Belle Vue as a place that serious, socially respected people don't want to be seen.
Leigh is unworthy of a place in Super League at the expense of great clubs like London Broncos and Toulouse Olympique. The very thought of parochial Leigh being promoted to Super League makes me shudder.

It's nice that you get excited about a moderately talented forward who had a blinder against Oldham.
