I can't imagine that it would be economically viable to buy the LSV (£15-20m?) and then demolish it for homes.

There are also measures that I'm sure Wigan Council would take to prevent such a scenario developing should someone want to buy the LSV from them.

I can't see it being any thing like £15-20 million with the LSV tumbleweed complex making a fraction of what the council expected , I can see them wanting to wash they're hands of the White Elephant .

i never realized leigh had so many supporters with buisness degrees !everyone seems to know how the club should be run may i suggest leaving the running of the club to those currently in charge and concentrate on supporting leigh rugby

Councils will sell a losing operation for peanuts.
The tram system in Sheffield was built with tax payers money, then after a few years of horrific loses it was sold to Stagecoach for £1.15m.
To put that in perspective, the trams alone cost £3.5m each to build.
I would expect Wigoon Council to be onlt too glad to see the back of the LSV

You underestimate Leythers - most are fortunate to have either been to Harvard Business School or Manc. Road (Bedford High to the young ones) mate - both equally good schools.

IMO I don't see any harm in discussing issues - seem to recall Mr Barton inviting 'ideas' from those with some / any form of acumen - of which there are many who are true fans of LRLC!

But read it, it doesnt say thats what he wants, he just says thats one way out of it

I think you should point out Keith that I didn't write all of that, only the first part.

Doesn't going into administration carry a large points deduction ? , depend ing on where your from .

Yes it does usually 9

Wouldn't it also stop us applying for SL for the 2015 season which would mean that the next time we could be in SL would be 2018!!!

Possibly , although the SL clubs are playing to different rules on this , and SL applications should be the least of our worries ATM , IMO

It would cost us a further NINE points deduction, as Lynda has stated, THIS season. I think that would put paid to any play-off chances this season - and when you consider the prize money at stake, for winning the GF (should we be so lucky) it's not a move that should be taken lightly!

As we were apparently left debt free at the time AT withdrew, whats with all this talk of administration, we can't be owing that much yet. Why people want to blow things out of proportion and cause even more panic is beyond me........unless they think they can get support for there own ends from the panickers.

Haven't WMBC just spent millions on a civils project to get the redundant colliery at plank lane ready for up to 2000 houses?

Nobody wants it now cos no one get a mortgage and until that changes housebuilding (on a large scale) is on it's

The best thing about the houses they proposed to build was they were specified as ' Eco ' houses , ie no car parking spaces , so these new house owners were going to get to work how exactly ? , unless of course they were all going to get new jobs in Leigh itself ?
