..... and I'll be standing in the Hilton Park stand, yes that's right I've named the North Stand myself:



Quote: rugbyballs "I think this is the most observant comment so far. The RL don't seem interested and the club is obviously struggling to enthuse the fans. I think the whole concept of leagues below SuperLeague is in danger. I don't think the authorities care and that is worrying.'"


Even more worrying to me is that alot of clubs (defo not Leigh) outside SL don't care either... I asked one of the directors a while back if we they had spoken with other clubs about a breakaway after the franchise debacle and he said that other than 2 or 3 clubs most weren't interested whatsoever. icon_eek.gif

This is spot on. Super league then BARLA...nothing in between. Every club in between needs a sugar daddy or they would not survive. And to be honest, I don't think the RLF want semi-pro clubs like ourseves. The end is nigh.

Slight over reaction from your lot i feel, i had a similar experience a few weeks back after we suffered defeat by a shambolic unknown team. This was always a tough month fixture wise and you wil pick up points soon enough.


5th for you lot this year.

I think all you doom sayers need to take a step back, take a deep breath and chill out.

Every team has its ups and down, God knows Fax have had enough of them over the past six years. As for dodgy signings, we all do it. You should have seen Danny Arnold in a Fax shirt !

Its taken us time to build after SL and you guys seem to be suffering the same ill effects. As an outsider looking in, you have a good coach, good stadium, dedicated core of fans and a team full of young local lads and your making progress be it slow and painful at times.

So stop bleating, have yer say and pick yourselves up ready for the next game and support your club.

Well said pal....its too true.

We are building for the future with young local lads who will be here for years to come.....not players near retirement who wont be with us for long......things will come good. NK is taking us in the right direction IMO.

This is were some fans are misled. Do you think these lads will suddenly gain a yard of pace or ball handling skills or any other skill? 16/17yr olds are young players that could come good - ours are now at an age when, if they haven't got it they never will have. If any of our lads show a little promise do you think we will be able to keep hold of them? I agree with the theory of building for the future but, for example, Chris Hill would be number 1 in that process but I feel that we will not be able to keep him mutch longer. We then have to find a replacement (if available) who will take another few years to develop. It will go on forever unless we suddenly find a Woody + Dessie + a few more lads in the same season who are willing to commit to Leigh for several years icon_rolleyes.gif

The Hilly replacement - don't go just yet Chris please, is waiting in the wings and has been ever present this year. His name is Danny Meekin.

I think the leagues outside of Super League should get together and discuss things like pricing strategies etc, the common goals. I know Starbug had an excellent idea about everyone going with the same kit manufacturer for example to save on costs.

It's hard to promote a competition that is treated as a second class citizen and where despite there being good money available to win it, gets you in a lottery to go into a room where you know Widnes or Toulouse will get a Franchise.

We need to turn the rest of the game back to winter and try and appeal to those floating Super League fans who don't have games to attend.

It's a damn shame because I've been entertained by the passion of a lot of games and that league table is wide open at the moment.

Well I, and many more I know would prefer warm / sunny days than winter mudbaths.

Do you think these people would turn out on a cold wet & windy afternoon to spend a minimum of £16 when MUFC or Bolton etc where live on telly?

Go with a Saturday evening in summer to catch new & floating fans.

I see your point but the game competed with football for fans for 100 years before summer rugby came about.

I suppose it's a chicken and egg scenario. I'll be supporting my team for as long as its there and I'm here was just thinking of other avenues which have probably been done to death anyway.

On the young lads, just dont expect them all to become superstars. Some will come and some will go, but if those who are up and coming see local lads getting a chance in the team, they will be more likely to sign for you than your SL neighbours.
