They went down to the old division three a couple of years ago and still 30000+ went to Maine Road every home game getting behind the lads. So come on, yes we [sizeCOULD[/size be in Champ 1 next season but lets get down to the LSV regardless who we play and get behind Basil and the boys.
COME ONNNNNNN YOUUUUUUU LEIGHHHHHHHHHH
Keep the faith
So City fans knew they could not get back into the premiership for at least 5 years if ever at all??
A similar drop off in fans would kill us anyway, LSV needs SL to be viable let alone C1.
Fans who walk away will not find their RL elsewhere they will simply become dormant fans, those dormant fans we should have been targeting last year but we played the field of dreams card instead, after antagonising the RFL first.
Let Millward become chief exec/coach, let him appoint his own staff and lets clear out the clueless deadwood who are stuck in the 80's.
If we do go down I will buy my ST if we have a clearout, just wont go to many games as my leisure time is more valuable than C1 RL

| You're not down yet! I still believe you will survive. Batley will not win at Fev. You must beat Haven tho and they don't travel well.

| lets open the east stand as the family stand so we have spectators opposite each other to get more atmosphere ( no swearing in this stand ). Get more children in they are the future adult supporters
Get the concources (SPL) with paintings and sports shirts and make LSV home.
Get lobby on with better priced food and beer (like Batley and gateshaed).
Lets get LSV our home and our fortress so we have a real home advantage and WIN.

| Let me ask this. How many clubs in C1 have a fan base like ours? Of the teams or team that will be promoted to The Champ, how many will take the numbers away like we do. The loss of Leigh to the Champ is quite a considerable one. I'm sure Gateshead and Toulouse's fan base will not increase much, unless the RFL give them a help with that aswell. Mr Chairman knows something that I think the club knows aswell. Hence the lack of panic over signing halfbacks. Hense the IM signing. If we do go down I hope IM does not have a clause letting him go to a SL or Champ club when he has lifted us back to a decent team again. One more thing why are we sighning players on probably Champ contracts if there is a real chance we are going to be relegated. Thats madness is it not. I dont know why but I am already looking forward to next season in C1 or the Champ. Oh one more thing, IM should have a clear out of the people he does not want.

| Was just thinking last night about the fanbases of Batley, Gateshead, Toulouse, Dewbury, Sheffield and how we will be missed at least from a potential attendance point of view.
Widnes must be looking forward to all those massive Yorkshire/French and Geordie derbies!

| There is a possibility that someone could get relegated on 32 points - actually that would have to be us, as all three teams would have to have won on Sunday. Will it enhance the Championship to relegate a team on that number of points - probably only 11 points behind the runners-up?

At the moment, but sometimes goalposts shift, eh?

It might not enhance the Championship but we will have fully deserved to have gone down, 2nd Bottom in our league see's us (rightly) drop down a divison to rebuild (unless your are Toulouse - but thats just a RFL sponsored franchise club en route to SL in 2012 so shouldn't be taken seriously in anyway whatsoever).
We might be on 32 points but having been to all games bar Toulouse away I'm gobsmacked we got that many

We was also close to winning a couple more (Barrow home, Fev away that I can think of). Its a very very fine line indeed to be relegated with such a good points tally in a very competitive competition and being one of the 1in5 teams to get relegated. Its a f really. We will be different club next year it seems if we stay up and would show this in the league, but instead could be facing a big step backwards.
Hope we can do it on the pitch but would deffo take the 12th place in the championship if only it would happen.

On your bike! I haven't had any time off since March.
I also have to contend not only with the fixture patterns of Leigh Centurions and Genesis, but also Blackburn friggin Rovers!
