Quote: Leeeigh Leeeigh "I still find it difficult to believe that there is not a reasonable explanation for this. Its crazy for governing body not to encourage clubs to contribute to its communities as such. It will be interesting to know the truth in this.
All we know at the moment is the big bad RFL are doing one on Leigh again just for sake of it - according to this thread. The same governing body that thought we could add to the current league we are in, and gave us a reprieve instead of relegating us.'"

But its not just Leigh though is it ,its all clubs bar Widnes,and as for giving us a reprieve they couldn't do anything else but after what happened .

Wigan had a pretty good 16's last season and a very good 15's who only last a game narrowly against saints! And they will have an even stronger 16's and 15's this coming year! Think there was 3 players from leigh area at Wigan last year and maybe just 2 this year (over both ages). So very much doubt ther is any chance of any sharing going on! Plus it's far healthier for Leigh in the long run to have their own! Plus what of all the coaches etc? Think Wigan would have any from Leigh on board?? Errrmmm nope! Chris radlinsky is over theirs!

So what for the coaches too? They are all just by the wayside too' not sure if theyyre all volunteers or on staff? But that's others hard work down the drain too!

The big question is, Why? All this thread has been mostly about is having another pop at RFL, and for what? We don't know reasons. This can be said about rest of clubs.
As for the repreive, they could have relegated us as the rules dictated at beginning of the season. Gateshead enabled RFL to do the sensible thing by allowing us to stay up. But a meeting at the RFL determined which league we played. If RFL are so against us as the Paranoia opinions on todays threads say, why didn't they take us out of the picture at that point ? Because its crazy to do so. Just like the club not being able to invest money in the community. Which tells me there is more to it.

Please do not send me any PM's I dont check this board often enough to be able to answer them, use my e mail add please fjparkinson@virginmedia.com All posts on this message board by me are mine I am NOT a representative in any way shape or form of ANY Rugby League club.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_2032.gif



some people who believe everything coming out of Red Hall s for the good of everyone in the game had better start to wake up and do it fast, I agree with Mr C but the trouble with that is that come the next round of 'good ideas' from Red Hall then all that be wasted, as it was once seen as a good idea that clubs had their own youth teams and structure.

The shared Academy never got off the ground

Second home the gym:



Quote: Dick Jones "Why are you sticking up for that shower of lying, incompetant to55ers, We was told this by our chairman and coach at the LISA meeting and knowing Arthur well, he does not lie and as been invovled with two other SL teams, so he knows what he talking about.
He also didn't just say it was LEIGH he said all of us except WIDNES.
I felt people should know what a set of bent barstewards all of the RFL are.

Basically with this and the other little criteria changes they sneaked in recently, they are in effect saying we want Widnes and then foreign clubs from now on,Leigh, Barrow, Fax, Batley and Fev, in fact of of you can forget about it as if you do make 2500 avage crowds we'll change it to 4000, if you turn over 1 million we'll change it to 2 million, and if you do ,manage these, we'll still turn you down, as you've no youth developement Good post Lynda. eusa_clap.gif

Is there anything 'official' out there, about scholarships and the Championship clubs. At the moment, everything appears to be based on what Arthur said at the LISA meeting. I'm not for a moment disputing what he said, but what else has the RFL said, on the subject? Keith seems to be putting an interesting, & logical spin on it and none of the other Championship clubs seem to have picked up on this - other than from our site.

No-one want's to stick up for the RFL... but at the moment the story that we have is Ian Millward and Arthur Rowley stated at a meeting that you attended last night that the RFL have forbidden all teams outside of SL with the exception of Widnes from running a scholarship side...

What happened when someone asked them WHY???
Because someone presumably asked them why... unless we are led to believe the RFL contacted your club said it was no to the scholarship and then just rang off and the two people above decided they had all the information they needed.

Lynda, where am I defending the RFL? The threads on here become way over the top before knowing the reasons, or the facts from both sides.
It cannot always be the RFLs fault - which it seems to be on here all the time. Thats all I am doing here, pointing this out. We all know its near impossible for Leigh to get into SL - and there are many reasons like RFL would prefer a team outside the heartlands for example, but we as a town do not support the club in enough numbers, and we are not successful on the pitch etc etc. We have loads of work to do, but we certainly don't make it a difficult choice for them at the moment.
On here if RFL created world peace and ended world hunger they would still be slagged off for one reason or another.

The main reason for all this gripe towards the RFL is the fact they keep moving those damned goal posts just to suit them now you can't argue with that surely .

The RFL would do a good job of ending world peace and creating world hunger if you gave them the chance.
Sorry - I wouldn't trust the RFL as far as I could throw them..and with big Nige that wouldnt be far at all..
