Quote: Leyther_Matt "You are Richard Lewis and I claim my £5. Suppose those clubs currently building new stadiums (and nowhere near as far down the track as Leigh were at the time of the last 'round') should all be judged on their current stadiums then? Or in Saints case, no stadium at all on that basis?'"

Last time I checked, Saints had a tenancy agreement to play at Stobart Stadium?

Personally, if I was on the Wakefield board I'd be looking at a temporary relocation to Barnsley to stay in SL. Let's face it, they aren't going to have a ground ready. And they could use an expansionist argument in their application. It's about 20 miles away from the nearest SL club as well. Would you rather travel 10 miles further to watch your club in SL for a temporary period, or watch them in the Championship?

Considering they have let Saints do as you say , Crusaders do what they did , then that would have to send Cas down

But that is thinking logically , so it will be the toss of a coin

How many years is this agreement valid for?

At the moment, one. But I'm pretty sure that they'd sort out a tenancy agreement with someone for their license (which is apparently something that Leigh didn't do if that's to be believed).

And it's all irrelevant anyway. SL would let Saints in even if they played on a park field. They hit all the other targets very well.

Has it occurred to some Leigh fans that maybe, just maybe, whoever produced their last license application simply did a shoddy job of it?

I don't, someone mentioned it a couple of pages back not too long ago. I wouldn't know.

I’ve no doubt Leigh would have had some kind of agreement with LSV Co, they didn’t arrange the build of a stadium, get planning permission etc on the hope that they’d find an end user.

But that’s not how it works. In a previous life I was the involved in a major build (a production facility), we were purchasing it, and paid agreed stage payments to the builders, but I didn’t sign the final agreement and payment until almost 12 months after we’d moved in, and only then did it legally become ours.

Only last year Leigh East (2yrs plus after moving in) were up before the council and threatened to be kicked out of LSV because they still hadn’t signed their agreement. Why and as to whether its been signed now you’d have to ask others.

Is that a "no" then?

I'm not sure what Salford had to do with the question, but if Salford lied then they showed amazing foresight in a sport known for moving goalposts to start the lie nearly 10 years before franchising was announced.

Iain , I have no wish to get involved in an argument , Was our application poor ? , who knows , only the RFL as they are the only ones who saw all of them , although it did cost a lot of money and had ' Deloittes ' doing the financials

You know what I am reffering to as regards Salford , the demise of Red City Develoments the day after the announcements was shall , we say , ' convenient ' to say the least icon_wink.gif

Maybe we told the truth , and others were a bit more ' creative ' , that might have been our downfall

Was Leighs even read? Judging by the bollox spouted by Lewis on Granada Reports around that time it didn't seem to have been. All in the past now. As for Salford starting the lie 10 years + earlier, that was because it was expected that some of the new sky money was to be spent on facilities. None of it was and Salford weren't alone in the giving of empty promises.
