Maybe he should learn to have some respect for the other clubs in the comp.
I know these comments are there for Leigh fans but ..........................'"
I think that "we" might have had differences in the past wrencat but I must agree.
While DB has helped turn the Leigh Club around *with Paul Rowley* this sort of thing will get under the skin of opposition fans. A little humility might go some way to reconcile the differences.
With regards to Leigh/Wigan, apart from living in the shadow of an admittedly bigger more succesful club, the issues run deeper & can be found in both history *miners strikes* & the Wigan Councils treatment of Leigh (compared to actual Wigan towns) currently & over decades. It is worth remembering that Leigh has not always been part of Wigan.
Man City/Man Utd .....
as a Mancunian & adopted Leyther my first love was always United. It is a Myth as someone else pointed out that Mancunians only support City.
I used to be a bus driver, regularly driving through Rusholme & near to Main Road, even back then the shear number of Posh 'Hoity Toity' Student City fans was phenomenal, possibly even worse now, it was as plain as day that these were NOT locals.
Man United conducted an internal survey of all season ticket holders a decade or longer ago & based on the addresses of the registered holders found that circa 90% lived within a 10 mile radius.
Can I prove any of the above ? No .... so don't bother asking folks.
Just saying.
*just booked my World Club Challenge tickets for Leigh v Melbourne Storm 2017*
