Just be careful if your in leigh town centre this Saturday

A group called the northwest infidels[some English defense league splinter group] are doing a march

I have been working with the police today arrange security arrangements the group are meeting at the ellesmere pub at 11 o clock and looking to march over the bridge at 1 o clock to march into leigh town centre and make some statements at the town hall,now the uafnite against facist] are planning a counter demo and we all know what tends to happen when these two groups meet

Just thought people need a heads up to give the area a miss


Hopefully it will pass without incident

I've always found that the best way to deal with loonies, is to ignore them


Drives them crazy

I take it you mean The Centurion......

yep sorry the Britannia/centurion been a bloomin long day gods knows were the ellesmere came from duuuuh there expecting 300-700 of them they have drafted in 100 extra police

I'm with you on that!!

Do the people who are marching live on Leigh?
If not why are they being allowed to march in Leigh?

They have a facebook page think its northwest infidel leigh nwi

Like I said hopeful it will just be all hot air and wind

Never thought I'd see the day where I'll have a quieter time going to a Burnley-Bolton game than if I'd stayed in Leigh.

Are they meeting in the centurion pub, if so who's arranged this. I'm sure the club don't need this sort of publicity and should make it known to who runs the pub.

It is not the centurion, it is the Britannia were the hot airbags are meeting.

It is both.

Nothing to do with Leigh Centurions what goes on in town centre pubs. Our club Bar is at LSV and going forward we need to do anything we can to give it the Old Mick Martyn bar feel for our fans and families to come along and drink with players and staff like the old times.

Wednesday night gave the BOM and our buisness manager Rob Parker a great buzz to see so many families and kids in the Legends in colours having photos and generally enjoying the pre match atmosphere together.

LSV are keen to have a strong Leigh Centurions Club playing in SL just as much if not more than we are and are impressed by our plans and ambition for the club and are buying in to us big time so we need to support the whole package which is Leigh Centurions and LSV working together to deliver for the people of Leigh and the whole community.

Any suggestions of what you would like to see going on in there (other than the obvious cheap ale) are welcome.

Andy I think you and the other Directors are doing a great job , obviously things will take time , but I think you are going in the right direction .

Thanks mate, we couldn't do it without people like yourself.

It's not like we are trying to sell sand to Arabs, if you can't get town like ours to back us and be a part of the success then you won't do it anywere in my opinion and its truly is inspiring the amount ofLeigh people I speak to and recieve emalls and messages from day in day out who are behind us and want to help.

Crowds are slowly creeping back now 1800 for a late rearranged fixture on a wet Wednesday night is encouraging for the BOM but we want to see 2k min on Sunday for what promises to be a great day and a local derby to boot.

Building blocks being laid every day and more and more people are buying into the vision.

Long term planing and structures in place and the feel good factor is back, great times ahead for Leigh Centurions fans and the people of Leigh.

Your doing a great job on and off the field, keep up the good work 100% with you all the way
