I must admit that words used in that Wigan council press release could help to sway public opinion away from Leigh East. And they know it.
East cancelling council meetings to discuss the situation,East not paying towards the maintenance of the club house despite bar profits of £10k, a responsibility for tax payers money spent more equally in the community etc etc
Disgraceful behaviour by the council.

BTW if you ever get the council to agree to a public meeting we'll come down and broadcast it on Leighlife.

| Quote: Snowy "Subs were £3 a week when I played for Easts over 20 years ago. With the facilities they have, £4 is a bargain.
Agree that £10 would be too much to ask.
It would be interesting to see what the councils vision is should the club fold (i sincerley hope it doesn't). They would probably lose even more !!
Heres praying for a bit of common sense, and well done to Janet who put Easts side of the story to Beswick well. Its just a pity no-one from the council had to balls to debate it live. Beswick would have had a field day !!'"
subs are £6 a week.i think £4 goes to the club and the other goes into the team as well as what funds the parents can make during the season.not sure at the miners I think its either £2.50 or £3 per week |

6 quid a week! Bloody hell must be a more wealthy lot over there - it's £15 a month at Miners with discounts for siblings (and there are no bar proceeds either). Still, I hope things turn out okay for the black and reds! |

I think its £4 for a second child but 2 kids a tenner a week is stretching it but if it goes upto say £10 a child you could be paying anywhere say between £60-£80 a month for 2 kids and £40 for one child(only a rough guide).of course the council are not bothered about things like this,they just appeare to have blinkers on and seem to just want to go one way. |

Lets be honest, the facilities available at East are far better than the Miners. |

Is that junior section because what rent do they pay compared to east for their fields because if east rent was lower im sure subs would be less |

In what way? - East junior section has use of the outside pitch and the plastic pitch - Manchester Road has the main full size pitch, 2 further full sized pitches, 2 mod-league pitches and 2 mini-league pitches. In winter the junior section utilises the all-weather facilities at Bedford High, Lowton & St Marys. Work has just commenced on extending the clubhouse/changing rooms. So in what way is Leigh East facilities FAR BETTER than Miners?  |
