If you come top for three seasons running, you get promoted to being a St Helens fan

| Quote: ExiledLeythr "I am an exiled Leigh fan of over 50 years. I remember as a child Bev Rismans's debut. I saw Alex Murphy's debut. I was at Wembley in 1971 and at Whitehaven in 82. I ran on the pitch when John Henderson scored a late try at Warrington to keep us in the 1st Division in 87. I could recall many other wonderful memories over the past 50 years but i won't be boring. The problem now is that last season i attended 3 games and this year i have not been at all.
I ask myself why. I would say that i am totally disenchanted with the way the game has been managed in recent years. Super League is great if you happen to be in it. However i do believe that in it's current form it is damaging greatly the grass routes of the game. Rugby League in towns with a rich history in the game is dying. Huddersfield finished bottom of the top division in successive seasons but were allowed to stay up because they played in a good stadium. Keighley were treated very badly and should have been included in the first super league, whilst London won promoton to nowhere and got included. The sham of the meregers between Huddersfield / Sheffield and Hull / Gateshead - this was just a joke. The wilingness to help out London when they were in a financial mess whilst great clubs like Oldham would have been allowed to go to the wall. I won't even start on the fiasco's in France or the injustice of overseas player allocations favouring certain clubs. My dislike of the 10 metre rule and the fact i feel rugby league wrongly sold it's sole to Sky are issues that can be put aside. I dislike the dual contract system. Clubs that leigh should be competing with on an equal basis can now call the tune at my club - this is wrong. The final nail in my particular coffin can be sumed up in 2 words (promotion and relegation). I look at other sports. Wigan, Burnley, Hull and even Blackpool have all made it to the premiership - it is all about keeping the dream alive. This has been taken away in Rugby League. Promotion or allocation of franchises as they call it is decided not on the field of play. I can hear Mr Lewis saying that this system works in Australia or the USA. This is correct but what must be remembered is that this is not Australia or the USA. Sorry to be negative in my views but i do feel that they are fairly typical. PS just read Tomy Sale's bok and it is excellent.'"
i would advise to stop living in the past and live in the present!
i would presume your not the only fan who has the same reasons as yourself for not going, why not bring the people who you used to go with. that we bump up our crowd and were all happy. |

..... and I'll be standing in the Hilton Park stand, yes that's right I've named the North Stand myself: |
|

I wouldn't support Saints if they were playing in my back yard lol. God forbid Leigh ever disappears then I'm done and SL is killing the game outside it's own league anyway.
When will the idiots attempting to run the game realise this fact and amend their ways?

Agreed.
The phrase I would use is "if Saints were playing in my back garden, I would draw the curtains!"

I've a second, third and fourth team..... Crusaders, Saints, and Les Cats in that order. I can justify them though - raised in Wrexham, Saints have as much love for the pies as we do, and my surname has French origins. Feeble, but allowed?
Just felt the need to share.

| Thanks for sharing that with us Nik is being raised in Wrexham the reason for your relocation to the East coast ?
I suppose your support for franchising is down to your anti laissay faire which suggests a surprising contrariness probably due to your Gallic charm which shines through most of your posts.
i would not be surprised if your favourite footie team is Bolton Wanderers.
May I also congratulate you on your forthcoming nuptials.  |
