Over 50 years of pain,pleasure,frustration,joy,heartache and ecstasy that supporting Leigh has given me but I would not swop it.: |

If you look at the average crowds in the Premiership then compare them to the ones in the Championship,I think the Crowds above when compared with SL will be similar ratios.
Based on todays prices and the competition for everyones money I don't think crowds of 2000 plus are crap, not brilliant but definately not crap.

Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity
Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike
SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done
But he with a chuckle replied
That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it!:9005.jpg |

Either way they are not good enough , especially when you dont have your own stadium to earn other revenue for you

Black Backgrounds/Gonzo the Great.gif you may think I'm an idiot, but it's nice to know I've been judged by my peers.:Black Backgrounds/Gonzo the Great.gif |

| Even though its what all of us were thinking at the time? you or the majority didn't know what went on behind the scenes on the lead up to that farce of a SL application fiasco, i'm only sorry the club can't/won't reveal the whole sorry tale and show up te RFL for what it really is?
theres a time for politics and a time for saying how it is, all this political correct bollox is just bull, even the widnes chairman said the same thing on boots n all as Rowley did, but was he crucufied by their teams fans? was he blood hell, if Rowley had crawled would we now be in SL? I think not so did it do any harm? only in the petty minds of some on here.
It's rugby not politics leave that to the politicians, me I prefer straight talking, not going all round the houses to call a spade a spade.

Half our problem is that we're in spitting distance of Leeds/ Bradford and Huddersfield which is where most of the support went when we got relegated.

..and that, ladies and gentlemen, is why we're not in Superleague.
I rest my case, your honour.

| I can't understand folk swapping their support for other clubs but can't say I have come across any. There are many who's next generation went elsewhere because the one before stopped, but thats different.
Giving up and losing interest is one thing but anyone who gives up on their club and then chooses another is nowt but a 5hithouse in my opinion, and I dont want them stood next to me anyway.
If Leigh packed up I'd have to get my kick from East or Miners becuase I'd sooner let the wife drag me round the Trafford Centre for the afternoon than support another club.
