Quote: Mookachaka "If only we had all our Leigh Service Area players back, we'd have a decent squad
Stephen Ratchford played for St pats and is from Pemberton - Wiganer
Chris Hill, played for St Pats & New Springs he knows where his roots are - Wiganer
Tommy Makinson - Wiganer
Dom Crosby - Wiganer
You can keep the rest

2015 - major missed opportunity, 2016 - stronger teams = harder task (no problem there then), 2017 - OMG What now!!!:953.jpg



One of the few problems with getting to SL is having to put up with Wiganers who think they are a cut above.

Derek you surprise me with this opinion,today I will be at the game with 9 Wiganers,all very nice blokes,3 of them are Main Match sponsors, I know a lot of Wiganers,they don't think they are a Cut above , far from it , obviously there is always the lighthearted banter, but in the 31 years I've known this lot and the many Wiganers, I've only ever met 1 who was a pain in the Ar*e,the rest good people.

Congratulations today Ian and my Leigh friends.
Would like to pop over to Headingley on Thursday, not sure yet.
Are you and Salford lad meeting up before the game?
If so where and how would I get a ticket to stand with Leigh fans?
I do however draw the line at eating lobby.

Then prove them wrong!
From what I have seen on your forum you have the team with new additions to do it.
If they think they are a "cut above" then show them.

Hang on old bean, you can't expect to stand and associate with us Leythers and not sample a taste of Lobby, It just doesn't work like like that.

Good Evening John, hope you are well?It's always good to hear from you,it would be great to see you at Headingley,I'm not sure what Frank is doing for the game I think he is on the Mini Bus,as for the Lobby it's a nice dish.

John, you can rightly call yourself a friend of Leigh & thanks again for your nice comments.

Hope Fax can get it together one day & mount a big challenge on SL, Bradford too.

As for lobby, it's the food of Kings, in fact wasn't it Henry Vlll who said ......
"Let them eat Lobby" !!!

[quote="OFFTHECUFF":1xb0p6sn] Wish i could watch a team like Leigh. :CLAP: [/quote:1xb0p6sn] [quote="Steve":1xb0p6sn] Dislike Leigh with a passion, but they are a million miles ahead of any other club in this league, a sad fact. [/quote:1xb0p6sn]:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_24148.jpg



I was sat next to a bloke today who MUST have been in on a freebie.

Leigh were rubbish, Batley were rubbish, the ref was rubbish and the game was pretty much rubbish.

Didn't have a good word for anything all afternoon.

I snapped at about 70 mins when he said "Is Ben Reynolds even playing?!" when I pointed out that Reynolds actually had the bloody ball in his hands as he was moaning.

I hope these sort of fans come back, I just don't want them sat next to me!!
