Thread over

I think what Detroit is getting at is the fact we never seem to be in the running to sign any of the quality players when they become available. While our rivals are strengthening we only seem to sign young kids who many of are untried at this level. We seem to be forgetting that we can't even apply for SL unless we win the NR Cup or get to the GF either this year or next and with the team we have at present I think we can forget this year.

This is so true and the reality is looking grim at the moment.You cant blame the rest of the Championship clubs for building a stronger team albeit full of aussies.

We need to wake up and look around at what is happening with the other clubs.It is ok to build from a young side but for which franchise year.

Come on leigh wak'n up

Short memories me thinks. Last year we signed Moran, Toa Balboa and others and didnt really get us anywhere, i am willing to be patient and get behind these young uns and then hopefully keep the best of the bunch and add some quality during pre season.

thats the problem though! we dont have the professionalism or the reputation to add quality signings. We MUST have the one of the lowest wage bills in our league and probably the league below!

The clubs infrastructure is rotting inside out, we as fans just dont see it, we just know about it through third party info all the time.

Clearly leigh is not very high on the list of clubs people want to go to, i know for a fact that Paul Prescott and Bryn Hargreaves couldn't wait to get away!

Face it we are a laughing stock.

What do you think is our playing budget, how do you think it compares to last years and what should we be doing to generate income in order to be part of the ambitious club?

Was released a couple of months ago from the club explaining the bit in bold as above.

Well said.
Hope while we are live on TV that fans don't get on the backs of the players, and get encouraging them - it does work

Would be good to generate some sort of atmosphere on the TV, problem being there will be very little opposition fans to do this with.

We generated enough at Widnes and they were silent! Thought they were asleep other than the odd yell of forward

Gets back to my posts on other topics we are falling behind other clubs how can gateshead attract another class aussie!!!

get a grip Leigh we are becoming a laughing stock!!

Some fans can only be loyal for so long, watching dire performances, week in, week out, Irrespective of where people think Leigh should be at right now.
People aren't telling me that they really look forward to a game this season, as they have any other in the past 10 years, unless you love the new ground that is. Apart from financial reasons, even the most ardent fan is beng 'pushed to the limit' right now, because we are not used to being regularly defeated at this level. Wait till we get relegated !!!!!

As I walked from the terracing at Widnes I don't recall any Widnes fans laughing!
