Please explain who is a true Leyther, you dont me so does that make me not a true Leyther. A bit of a generalisation there me thinks

John , you have me misunderstood , im definately NOT in my Element as you put it about this Twinning malarkey , im just fed up with it , in no way will aLeigh twin with Wigan , IT WONT HAPPEN ,you know me well enough by now , im a Leyther through and through , but im NOT a Wigan hater , my wife is a Wiganer ,yourself along with the rest of us cheered on Tom Spencer , Matty Russell , and others from Wigan this season , i think the D-Rs are a good thing , but TWINNING ?It wont happen at Leigh , lets stop the worry and look forward to a good season next year .

As i have said im backing Leigh to win the League next year , also my Wigan relatives are thinking of Sponsering Leigh next year

are you going to tell me they shouldnt ?Because they might try to take over

.Or would anybody have complained if the Ainscoughs would have tried to Take over ?All this Anti-Wigan stuff is old hat , just because i Dont Hate Wiganers doesnt mean anything , im still 100% a Leyther you know that .

Good Afternoon CL ,you ask me to explain who i regard as a "True Leyther ", well for me its like being a "True Cockney ", born within the sound of Bow Bells , a True Leyther was born in Leigh , that makes them rare these days

as most are now born in Wigan

very IRONIC dont you think ?I was born at the Firs Maternity Home , making me Born and Bred in Leigh , im no better than anyone else though , just a Leyther .

Other than that plenty are still "True Leythers ", to me even when not Born in Leigh , im not sure what you mean by "You dont me so does that make me not a True Leyther ", you can live in Wigan , Blackpool , the Moon , even Cumbria and be a True Leyther .

Charlie I fit your criteria of a True Leyther, born and bred etc, and have spent most of my working life in Wigan, and despite my name haven’t really got an axe to grind with them.

The issue isn’t with them its how independent is my club?

Anyway that’s for the other thread, as for this one think Nicholson needs adding to the list.

Charlie i was born and bred in bedford watched Leigh from the age of 4 with my dad, im now in my early fiftys. Lived in Cumbria for ten years but still get to watch Leigh when i can work commitments. So i feel im a true Leyther as you put it, or is Bedford out of the true Leyther zone, we need to bring supporters in from fare and wide you wont attract new supporters with that attitude. Thats my opinion.

What Attitude ?As i have said you can live on the moon and be a Leyther ,ive lived over Butts Bridge for nearly 50 years now , again i never said you werent a True Leyther , you asked me my opinion i answered you ,i dont think True Leythers would also like to see our Great Club in trouble , but i do feel one or 2 on here delight in this .

Good on yer for still watching the lads when possible .Another thing that bothers me is this Anti-Wigan thing , i lost my own Brother 23 years ago , but regard my Wigan in-laws as my brothers now , i know they would do anything for me , so i LOVE WIGANERS

, ive said it and am proud to say it .

If you we'ren't a Leyther I'd be

ing you for that last statement

Some have said alot worse , calling me a Traitor , i admit i take alot of stick about this , even from the PIES .

Wigginers are next best thing AFTER Leythers, but a long way behind. After that its a close run thing. Do you remember when Leigh were in Division 1 and Wigan in Division2??
