In that case, is it being demolished by the council as a matter of public safety as I don't know who else would pay for the demolition, unless a decision is imminent on the planning permission? |

Surprised the council didn't leave them to it for a few months - would have save em a few bob. Could have knocked it off our Council Tax  |

| Maybe they have come to an alternative arrangement rather than Wi*an MBC having to fork out for demolishing it!  |

But 'alternative arrangements' still need to be paid for Plonk; forgive me for being a cynic, but maybe the planning application might go through a little more smoothly if the housing developers foot the bill for early demolition?

I was trying to say that in my last post but with a bit of tact   |

| In a couple of months time you'll walk out of Asda and think there's something missing. A new view will replace HP with an historical local landmark gone forever.  We will only be left with the memories!  |

I think Asda will have gone bust or moved to new premises by the time these bloody houses get built

Maybe the "GEORGE" department of Asda will have moved over the road?

I can tell you that the Leigh Asda store is one of the biggest moneymakers in the Northwest (After Wi8an) They have been looking to expand for years and tried to buy the piece of spare land between Patak's and Sainsbury's!

Amen.
Like Matt said it's probably for the best that we move on into our new stadium and start a new era of Leigh Centurions.

..... and I'll be standing in the Hilton Park stand, yes that's right I've named the North Stand myself: |
|
| I'm upset HP is going but obviously we have to move on now.
We've all got so many memories but I didn't want to see the old girl decay any further, it's really taken some stick the last 12 months or so from complete idiots who need flogging publically in my opinion.
RIP HP we'll all have many happy memories from the past  |

Glad the place isn't going to be left to rot away. We all have our memories of HP so it's good that it's finally going to make way for something new. Wonder if there'll be a few hauntings in whatever is built there, after all there were quite a few ashes spread on the HP turf.
