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 ?

It was a hyperthetical scenario MrC.
What is a fact is that after administration contracts are null and void, which means should we have current contracts in place that are unrealistic new owners would not be tied to them. Redundancy is fairly easy to sort out but somebody with 2 or 3 years left on a silly contract costs a lot more to resolve, as we found out on many occasions recently with coaches.
Didn't Widnes going into administration clear them of the stifling contract on their stadium?
What is clear is that we must do whats best for LRLFC, if we have ticked boxes at the end of the season then administration is a no-no and we should have no problem building for SL with a new deal with LSV.

With 2000 new homes (in a already gridlock risk area), how do the new house owners get to work by car? In say up to 5 years time how many people can afford a car? government local and national have got to force the issue on this lazy attitude of dependent on the car and changing the mindset


As for going into convenient administration to wipe off debts and/or liabilities, that is so wrong to do.

Dont forget we dont have debts and sometimes administration secures jobs.

Wow how forward thing are the WMBC to come up with that plan.........Chuckles

How do you get to work......................I`m going for public transport to hazard a guess?

Tomorrow I drop my kids off in Lowton at 8am, then I have to get to some industrial park on the outskirts of Oxford for a meeting at 11am, then back to a site in the middle of nowhere, 7 miles away from Wolverhampton for a meeting at 2pm. I'll end up staying down there for another meeting in the morning, so will have to find a hotel somethere, get back to site, bring back a shedload of tools and equipment, then get back to Lowton to pick the kids up again.

Show me how I can meet those obligations without lazily relying on my car and I'll vote for your transport strategy

By canoe, along t'cut, to the nearest public transport hub? Admittedly a fair paddle, if that 'hub' isn't Leigh bus station!

BY barge surely, every 10 min from Plonk Lone bridge to Leyth bridge to meet up with the buses in the town centre.

I was going to suggest barges, but they aren't as environmentally friendly as canoes!
