| Quote: cherry & white "And Leigh east? Do you have a view on their predicament Alan?'"
I only know what I've read about East, and the situation appears to be shocking. However, I'm afraid I don't have any direct involvement with their situation, or knowledge of the 'other side' of that story - there always is 'another side' - so I restricted my comments to the situation of the Centurions.
Obviously, for the good of the Sport in Leigh, the sooner East get the security they are after, the better.

| Quote: mr. chairman "Well if you don't know about Leigh east predicament then you ain't a leyther lol. I told the partners meeting how we felt about still no lease agreement after 4 years , 37 meetings , 25 hrs of phone calls . 14 days off work and more stress than we can cope with . Last time I spoke with Andy he promised it would be sorted by Christmas . It didn't happen because Wigan council told him to butt out . It's a long story but the Lsv company told me I was speaking to the wrong people by talking about our problems to Lsv directors . Yet in the meeting were lord Peter smith and Trevor Barton , who runs the Lsv the council or the Lsv , please tell me who makes the decisions'"
And did he 'butt out'?? - From what I see / hear of Andy Burnham I doubt he would have or have WMBC got some clout in that field to make him??

For an amateur club still 3 years down the line and still havent signed a tenancy agreement because of their ever changing demands is astounding!'"
At least you're still in existence, unlike one of the other original LSV partners

Mr C i would imagine after 4yrs you could answer this yourself. Lrlfc could well find its way onto the Lsv portfolio. God forbid.

In our current situation, no options should be ruled out, in fact I'm kind of surprised this hasn't been looked into more.
Looks like Hunslet are going down that rlroute.rl

Keep fighting the good fight Keith - as long as you're the most likely tenants then it will get sorted one way or another. We were only pushed out of the door once Blackburn were sniffing round and the LSV wanted to 'save' that expensive main pitch of theirs.

| I'll say this for Burnham, at least he shows an interest. How many MP's for Leigh from the past have given a stuff?

| Quote: davo1979 "I'm not sure how anyone from this town could have anything bad to say about andy burnham. He is certainly the most forward thinking and high profile MP this town has seen irrespective of political allegiance.
It would be fair to say that we wouldn't have the LSV without the political clout he carried at the time.
Not only that i know for a fact that in the past he fought for government financial support for a number of leigh engineering/manufacturing workers when they were screwed over by their employers as the company went bust.
Furthermore he is at Leigh games home and away pretty regularly with his family which makes him OK in my book.
Think this is a case of 'what have the romans done for us......''"
I know that coming on our site and admitting to not being of the same political beliefs as Andy I will be chancing it, but I say (since I originally lived in Leigh and am a "Diehard" fan), I think he is the best MP Leigh have ever had or could hope to get. His input to getting LSV was brilliant and if by broadcasting or by any other means he gets someone interested enough to keep us afloat, then I will change allegiance and vote for him to be PM.
