Leigh is a suburb of Wigan, with no train station nearby and hellishly difficult public transport connections. Yes, it draws bigger crowds than Salford, but that is no criterion for promotion. Bradford and London deserve to be back in Super League, and Leigh deserves to be in a better run Championship with the likes of Halifax, Sheffield, Featherstone and Batley.
I look forward to Toulouse decisively defeating Leigh in the Million Pound Game at the end of 2017.'"
"No train station nearby". LSV to Daisy Hill train station = 3.4 miles. Stade Brutus to Perpignan Station 3.6 miles. What is your point? |

We've had plenty ' normal ' fans suggest this as a reason for not attending matches at Leigh , be they club or internationals
Doesn't anybody outside Leigh own a car ? |

I've realised that "Jean Capdouze" is an anagram of...

I think most would have anticipated Huddersfield beating leigh so all in all a decent turn out.
Huddersfield were for example were posting numbers like this for their opening game against Wigan after a decent year in 2015.'"
Aye but don't forget wiginers think they need a visa to go farther than Plat bridge. |

The promotion of Leigh is the best thing to happen to super league in years. A well run, ambitious club that has [iearned their place with performances on the field[/i. Being a local club it will also create some local derby type match ups as well.
It's great to see a team promoted based purely on their on field performances.
If the fanciful Toulouse want their seat at the table they are going to have to earn it on the field.

And if they would have had crap crowds, a crap ground, very little money and we're made up of purely players who have already proved average at best in SL, with no player development to speak of, would it still be the best thing to happen to SL then.
Before people start foaming at the mouth, only one of those things apply to Leigh (the academy bit) and they have done a good job of developing players that might otherwise have been lost to the game.
Leigh are a good team to come up. Im just trying to make the point that success on the field should not be the only criteria for being allowed at the top table.
What I worry about is that because of the quality of the teams below those with a chance to come up, all we are likely to see is the same clubs swapping and changing and no one actually developing. |
