| Quote: DemonUK "While I do not need to explain myself to a 'fan' who clearly thought SL was the be all and end all of the game of RL, I will, I like to educate the ignorant (about the Championship). When I mention the word success, I was meaning comparative success over the last 2/3 years. I appreciate that word and Bradford don't go together when talking of the last 3/4 years, but at least I knew what was going on in the game unlike you. I know for example how a stream of owners almost destroyed the Bulls AND even ripped their own fans off to the tune of half a million pounds (I think). I was suggesting several reasons for the purposes of a discussion. I clearly forgot one, - 'is it because they don't know who we are' - (RL does exist outside of SL) as you have now found out.'"
I was, of course, being sarcastic. I had heard of Leigh before our well documented demise (for whatever reason out of the fans control). Having watched a team which has done ok in the not too distant past, I still wouldn't go around accusing other teams of being jealous of us or our fan base. It's laughable and one of the reasons that opposition fans feel the way they do.

| I never accused anyone of being jealous. I asked a question that's all. I'm done. We seem to have taken the thread off the topic of 1890s music

You shouldn't ask questions if you don't want to hear the answers.
Now what's this about 1890's music? I was hoping that I didn't have to read through the whole thread but now you have my interest.

| Yes, that's interesting. I was born in the 70's so it's a pleasent surprise to find out that music existed before then.

| You only have to go back 2 or 3 pages.
I ask questions to get answers by the way and provoke discussion.

Who said the wheels had come off?? Rowley has resigned,It's bad news, and we move on.
What a bitter and twisted person you are with a post, so false as that.

You'll get used to it. It comes with the territory of supporting a team with an owner spending beyond their club's natural means. Clubs like Leigh and Salford have a place you know and it's not on the top table.

You'd struggle to find any real Leigh fan who would take pleasure in another clubs financial difficulties.
There are, however, plenty of Leythers who remember the reaction of the travelling haven fans the day we got 'relegated'. It was a reaction that will stay with some of us for a long time. So I was personally delighted when you got relegated. Not because I like to see a team suffer, but because I enjoyed giving the haven fans a taste of their own medicine

What attitude? The year we were saved from relegation (after finishing above the relegation position) was 8 years ago! I also seem to remember most fans accepting it before Gateshead received their point deduction for going into administration and "saving us", not sure how any of that is "Leigh not taking their punishment". But hey, good news for you Toulouse V Gateshead is now back on the fixture list, I'm sure you'll be off to Newcastle instead of the LSV. Don't know any fan who's revelled in any other club's misfortune, the vast majority are RL fans, we all know how important our RL clubs are to each other. Are you suggesting if a rich business man from Haven wanted to put money into the club to try to get you to SL you'd say "No. Stay away we don't want success we deserve to be relegated to League 1!"? You can laugh if you want but that says nothing about Leigh and an awful lot about you as an RL "fan".
