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 |

You mean like its now ' profitable ' ?
Oops , no it isn't , it hasn't ' moved on ' at all , it hasn't expanded , it hasn't challenged RU or football , it is exactly the same as it was , just that there are now 9/10 clubs getting 1.2 million a year to attempt to keep up with the 4/5 clubs that are managing to break even without massive sugar daddy investement
So yes we are bolloxed , but dont try to pretend that the clubs in SL are any different , they aren't |

No hand outs for us ok then so why not put that practice all across the board and no hand outs to SL clubs ,there is nothing divine about it by the way and like I said if your club was in our league you would be singing from a different hymn sheet end of |

So uncle Ken tipping in a million a year is ' OK '  , Mr Hughes at Quinbroncos , over a million a year , Salford ? , Bradford ? , Crusaders as was ? , even your good selves needs input from Mr Moran occasionally , Saints as well
You have no idea |

HKR somewhere between 1 and 2 million lost in the last 4 years. Good job they have a backer prepared to stump up the above.

[quote="littlerich":1czuya0c]Widnes will be glad to get away from Leigh. They've been regularly pumped, roasted and left in the alley-way by the lobbygobblers. Talk about being bitched - what a torrid time they've had. They'll be looking for some A&E rest time for the next three years at least.[/quote:1czuya0c]:1030.gif |

What a strange thing to say.
If you want to be part of the 'grammar-police', you may want to do a bit or research beforehand. |

Matters not that we are NOT looking for any handouts just an advance on payments that will fall due to us in the coming season by the RFL.

Yes it is okay, as long as they're happy doing it. But theres no point sitting at your little table resenting them for it. If uncle Ken dies and Huddersfield can't be self sustaining they'll soon find themselves back at your level, its the way it goes. But moaning for 3 years about how it isnt fair because no one will do that at Leigh just gets tiresome: even by your standards

In another post you refer to someone else's bad grammar and slag off the poster, telling them to get back to their Y5 text book.
Here, someone else pulls you up on your infantile command of the English language and since they know more than you then they must be an old codger.
You also generalise, showing genuine prejudice, about the population of a town. Poor. Uneducated. Stupid. Is this really acceptable behaviour? Even for a child?

Im a busy person, I run RLFans in the background while at work for a bit of fun and made a little mistake, easily done and I acknowledged that. Its actually a very common mistake to make that one in particular and I should have known better. Is ol Fred denying he's at a mature stage of his life?
However not knowing the difference between a statement and a question is a crime and gramps should get his old cuffs out.
Its not uneducated, I just tell you people the truth you don't like hearing. Leigh is two or three small village districts stuck together by a tiny town centre in Wigan. Its no wonder you can't find a rich backer within that lot. Sad but true.
