Pint £3 plus Pie £2:70 = £5:70 so £5 is "an offer"

not a very good one mind



As I know very little about Stockport, Sale or even who the hell Kennedy is, what did he/they do and why would/should that effect us?

Emotive and ignorant topic.
Sale coming to LSV and booting out BRFC and Genesis would be good for the town of Leigh.
Its good for LRLFC due to being a shareholder in LSV and for our SL aspirations.
Puffball fans at SCFC are having a right moan but failed to take ownership, in the same way as we luvved up HP with GHE and then the lease with SCL.
Kennedy saw a no risk opportunity, get the ground for £4m, sell the club without its assett to the fans for £1, let them love it up. Then look for the council to bankroll a new stadium that Sale would fully own with the threat of moving if they dont.
Kennedy has done what a good businessman does, got something cheap because the circumstances were right.
GHE got HP cheap because Higgins was weak and the supporters werent organised, Kenneddy just paid a bit more for Edgeley park. LSV would still be owned by its current parties, Sale would be a lodger only with less rights than LRL.

So have I got this right.

Kennedy owns both Edgeley Park and Sale RU, but not Stockport which is owned by a Supporters trust as he sold it to them for £1?

The local council aren’t willing to fund the redevelopment of the Edgeley Park (or a new stadium) presumably because he owns it? So I guess he’s going to sell it to a developer and now needs somewhere for his team to play? Leaving Stockport without a ground?

Why would booting two teams out for one be good for Leigh? and why having Sale there does it improve our SL aspirations?

Completely agree. One of those teams has already been booted out though, sadly

Is it now confirmed that Genesis will no longer play at LSV now then? Were will home be next season?

Although I'm not a follower I will be saddened by the loss of Genesis, as they were and as far as I'm concerned should still be above all outsiders, part of the LSV dream.

We were told categorically that there was 'no place' for us at the LSV next season - looking like Crilly Park should we be able to bring it up to league standards etc but the clock is ticking. Will just be glad to play at a ground that is actually happy to host us, to be honest.

If Sale do move in then there's no doubt whatsoever that they will get priority over Leigh RL, which surely can't be a good thing?

Id rather Genesis be in than Sale any day of the week.

I backed you up too I refer to my first post on this thread. By the way last time this idea of Sale playing at the LSV was mentioned I posted it would be as daft as getting into bed with someone who you knew would stab you in the back as soon as you fell asleep.

If Sale did move in to the ground there'd be a full house for most home games, ive been to many games at edgeley park and away teams from leicester, leeds, london have brought thousands of supporters in terrible conditions mainly on friday nights ive been to night games and still away fans travel. Sale home fans are from all over the north so wud have no problem travelling and i believe it wud be good bringing them here. Kennedy may have ideas to suit himself but leigh aren't getting much at the moment anyway

Most of their games only attract around 6 or 7k with just one or 2 hitting the 8k mark. Obviously a lot more than we get at the moment but can't see the Cheshire set being happy coming to a rough @rse town like Leigh!!!

Ok mate, if you say so!!!

Do you know how much the LSV holds mate? Obviously not
