Quote: mr. chairman "Good answer , I didn't expect anything else'"


Cheers Keith.

The new structure may not suit everyone especially the hap hazard run SL debt ridden clubs who may face going out of business unless they do the right things and go back to square one and rebuild. People like Francis Cummins of Bradford are already complaining about having to compete fairly for the right to play in the top division is this not the very essence of sport and competition???

We firmly believe we as a club are suited to the RFLs new structure and can work within it to build a sustainable and long term successful club over a number of years which will be at the heart of the community as you know we a passionate about giving something back.

The by product of all this should mean some bloody good games of RL in both SL and Championship this coming year and beyond and a greater interest and demand to see them as a consequence.

Quote: mr. chairman "Andy in your earlier post you said

Bottom line is we have everything in place now to be a SL club,

Does that mean from today'"


Good question Keith,

I will try to answer this as best and honestly as possible.

Financially and as a board and management team we are certainly ready for the challenge and speaking from a facilities and infer structure perspective the answer is also yes. We also believe we have the right man in Paul as a full time young and ambitious British coach to lead us into SL with his assistant Neil also full time and support of Derek and Steve the Sporting and Football Directors. We have also strengthened the back room team and added conditioning staff and additional coaches and will continue to do so ready for SL.

We also believe we have a core of young players who will step up and play in SL for us.

It's a big step overnight and that's why our preference is to build from the bottom slowly and progress again this coming year with a view to competing in 2015 onwards.

We did however have a business plan and presentation ready for an eventuality were a place may become available this year which won us even greater respect as a club from the RFL and demonstrated that while we know it would be difficult we had the resources and capability to step up this year should London or anyone else not make it. It was never our preference to do it this way as in reality we would not have the time to procure the required playing staff at short notice and been behind the eight ball from day one but all the same we demonstrated our qualities and our infer structure and facilities which are superior to any of our rivals and believe we won some friends also with our honesty.

Honesty sells the whole thing to me as does transparency.

Long term thinking combined with hard work and visible progress will do for me,

Good time to be a Leigh fan right now IMO.

I was one of the few that enjoyed SL not the thrashing a but seeing the ground full ish and the atmosphere that created .
I enjoyed visiting all the SL clubs best was Leeds away , we nearly pulled it off and we had a couple more games were we got close.
I think the LSV gives a lot better chance of making the cut.
I honestly think we would make a better job of it now.
