You never know

just remember I'm on the glass half full side until told otherwise, admittedly some can't even see a drop at the bottom of the glass at the moment

INOUT

Blimey Charles the Grim Reaper will come soon enough keep

Yup

Now we're getting somewhere

Brilliant !

Looks like you beat Bongser to the rallying cry, HRJ (the Specsavers reference was for you btw). Why not repost it in thee weeks' time on the most special of Armistice Sundays?

Hilton Park had been there for Millennia as far as a toddling Bongser was concerned. What was there before the wasteland?

Serious question for once.

I was,

I don't think that anybody would say that we would've got to SL without Derek's money, the point being raised is that for all the investment made, should have a hell of a lot more to show for it than one season in SL and an apparent implosion of the club.

Harold, I've said before I've watched Leigh since 1961 and this is the worst situation we have been in,even worse than when the Blackpool Mafia tried it on,to say you can name at least 20 worse episodes,you should be on Tenable with Warwick Davis.

At the moment we have a handful or no players,our Coach is linked to Widnes and in today's RL paper we are being taken to an Employment Tribunal by a player who has not been paid in full since September. How are we going to atract future signings with this happening?
As for myself being in the trenches you obviously don't me, I never know when to give in, but I won't flog a dead horse either.The Forums 2 resident Spin Doctors will never influence my opinions,I make my own mind up, always will do.

I think the break from RL will do me good , I may feel different in the New Year.Take care . .

The history of the club, on the excellent Leigh Life website, says that the group of enthusiasts who built the stadium, 'cleared some fields, on the edge of the town.' The 1905 map, on the same website, shows church fields and other fields, on the site.

I've got my shovel ready, just in case!

Oddly enough, in looking back at the history of our club, trying to find an answer to B&B's question about what HP was built on, I stumbled across instances of running out of money, running out of players, having no kit, having no ground to play on, etc. etc. It DOES sound familiar, eh? Of course, all this was between the two World Wars, and was, obviously, before my time!
