fully agree..its a risky stategy but its the only way this great club will get back on its feet again.

at the moment we are slowly bleeding to death.

happy soul i am in the morning i know but these are worrying times

Its good owd chicken n egg, aint it Mr C. Cat n horse etc but I agree put it in now to stop doing so later.

I would love AT to actually state we cant sign folk because the Leigh public arent interested.
We should be a community based club working with our amateur partners who would sit on the operating board, bring transparency to the business and a common, united goal.
AT has put way too much in but I cant see any signs of him being bothered about that fact.

apart from this being the team that last won the top grade championship does anything else spring to mind

I wonder exactly how long some people on here have actually watched Leigh for???
We have a long history of paying money we haven't got for so called superstars any player we sign is paid for by AT as the rest of the town can't be d turning out to support us.
I NEVER want to have to sit in another meeting where Tommy Sale pleads for money to save us we've done it too many times. unless someone wants to pump loads of cash into the club we have to play with what we have and make do!

As for not paying enough money out maybe if the public of Leigh backed Arthur then we could sign such players'"

if your comparing the two Sheffield and Leigh then explain the FULL comparison.

Quite simply I was wondering whether Sheffield got more people watching than Leigh.I do not think they do.The Eagles average appox 1200.

i agree we will never play in super league again theirs not enough interest in the town no more most people have had it kicked out of them.

I suggest will carry on has we are but hope people dont moan on here when we do get a few beatings.

Correct me if I'm wrong, wasn't Roy Howarth (Leyther) loose forward the night we won the the trophy at Whitehaven?

thanx keith glad somebody picked up on wot I thought was obvious,the best and most consistant team we had was home grown and cost next to nothing,the problem we have now is the inability by our board and coaching staff to sell the club to decent players from leigh area.and yes roy did play in final,the team I put forward was the players that played the most games in that season.

Wan,t bad was it ?I think we lost 5 league games in 81-2.

maybe the young players in Leigh are scared of getting 'bagged' every week by the numpties on here and thats whyb they go elsewhere.

I would think every fair minded NL1 (or whatever they are calling it this week) supporter would agree Keith, gone are the days when clubs like ours could compete with SL clubs at ANY level as you say its ALL down to finance (or lack of it) and anyone who thinks different realy needs a reality check.
