I think many folk in Leigh won't be appearing on University Challenge any time soon but I think it's fair to say they've got enough about them to realise that, should they be so strapped for cash, they will save their money to watch Leigh on the Sunday rather than going to watch Swinton on the Friday because the money is burning a hole in their pocket.

| For the bigger games. We could do what batley did last year against the catalans. Obviously you have to show a season ticket and you get dumped in west stand or east stand

Say Leigh s/t holders in for a fiver (for example) to Swinton 'home' games, and Swinton s/t holders in for a fiver at Leigh games? That could amount to moneies that neither club would otherwise get.

And by the same logic, none of us will be going to watch England v Wales, at our stadium, will we?

Referees are like women, they make snap decisions and never reverse them.
[b]Littlerich wrote[/b] Widnes will be glad to get away from Leigh. They've been regularly pumped, roasted and left in the alley-way by the lobbygobblers. Talk about being bitched - what a torrid time they've had. They'll be looking for some A&E rest time for the next three years at least.:simpsons/PDT13.gif |

Swinton fans have been nomads for 20 years, this is no big deal for them!
Also, their stay might not be as long as some expect if their ground starts to be built soon.

Yes, they have a guy who, though he keeps a low profile, will always "help out in a substantial way" financially

| I don't understand being anti Swinton. If they pay LSV the full amount then it's more income to keep the stadium running. If Leigh play at home when Swinton play away the fans that don't travel to away games (the majority) could see a game at the LSV. Personally I have little interst in watching Swinton but to make sure the stadium is used as much as possible must be a good thing, especially if it keeps the costs down for all users.

| If the LSV has been so crippling for Leigh one wonders what it will do for Swinton with half our gates.
Are Swinton playing on Friday nights all season or could we end up with the situation whereby we get booted out for a game or two so Swinton can play at 'home'.

Surely whatever they pay is whatever deal they negotiated for themselves for what they require? Same got you guys.
E.g. Swinton will only need one stand in use whereas you guys often have 3?
