I'd disagree, the attendance against Wigan in the pre season friendly was very disappointing. Leigh keep saying they have all these fans that would come back after a few decent results, but you've got to have more of a solid base than that.
There is a huge interest in rugby in Leigh but for some reason they're just not going. |

Over 10k in the CC tie though !!
I do recall us taking 4k to Wigan and 3k to Warrington.
Widnes arn't cracking pots either, but in a non-promotion league, franchising will put a few clubs to bed thats for sure! |

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 |

I think 4 or 5 teams brought over 10,000 (in total) away fans in that season to add to our average.
We can't keep saying give us SL and they will come. |

Future is bright for Cas i believe we win the League in the next 5 year.:Black Backgrounds/Earl Sinclair.gif |

Well done Leigh.
But off the topic i dont think any English clubs will be the next franchise because both Leigh and Widnes will not get to any finals and Giants and the Bulls will put strong words out for fax to fail.

I wouldn't bother reading this bit, there is nothing interesting, witty or insightful down here, just this collection of boring words explaining that you really are wasting your time browsing this signature in the vain and futile hope that there will be a nugget, nay, a veritable goldmine of witticisms or divine philosophy. In reality, all you're going to get is disappointment, a sense of hopelessness and a random word.

Apologies if I have misconstrued the bold part but that seems to me a thinly veiled attack on the franchising process. Then again it could be a reference to how e your team is

Cold hard facts , we live in a franchise world , wether I like it or not is irrelivant , those are the rules , when Leigh are getting 4,000 ave crowds in the Championship they will be ready to move up to SL
Unfortunatley I cannot ever see that happening , hence my post
What they do on the pitch in the championship should have no bearing on entry to SL if you are having a franchise system
Therefore all I want is for the clubs outside SL to survive and be able to provide a good stable competiton and Leigh be able to be part of that

A 'glass is half empty' type of guy then? Anyway I'm not going to derail this into yet another franchise thread suffice to say well done to Leigh on their improvements off the field.

George Bush says 'we are losing the war on drugs'. Well you know what that implies? There's a war going on, and people on drugs are winning it! Well what does that tell you about drugs? Some smart, creative motherfookers on that side.":23517.gif |

Because I Feel They Along with Widnes and Halifax Would Have Brought Something to SL.
I would still prefer 2 leagues.
We talk about not having the quality for 14 SL teams, but if their were more chances for our youngsters at this level maybe we might get more lads playing the game
Just MY opiniom
