We will be going into liquidation I believe and starting at the bottom then the only way is up I will look forward to the challenge. These things happen in rugby it’s how we react

If you remember Jenky, after Arthur Thomas we had the consortium of Derek, Andy Mazey and a few others. One by one they left to leave 1 sole in charge, remember the public spat between Derek and Andy. Derek wanted full control, rightly or wrongly. Now all gone pear shaped.

People were worried once that happened again after Arthur, lots said it was a bad idea. Now we know it was.

But you cant take away it was one hell of a ride.

I believe *see think* we had a squad of 28 before Paterika Vai-Vai & Larne Patrick departed, that takes us to 26 ?
If our 8 best players leave then it would leave only 18 registered, I could be way off with loan signings etc ?

Anyone have clearer knowledge ?

Sorry but you are not 100% accurate with the £5 ticket claim. It was full price for most attending (York brought a decent amount over... 1k i'd say) but its true that there was some decent marketing to local schools too, which is how we built up the crowds back in the glory days (get them hooked young and bring mum and/or day too).

That aside, I don't wish anyone goes through what we've been through. Without knowing the facts of how much you actually owe, I'd hope that DB has caught it early enough to stop the rot but from what I'm told it will very much depend on DB's personal debt being written off.

Regardless of the outcome, in the trips over to LSV I've met some very good Leigh folk (and on this board too) and have every faith that Leigh will stay afloat and have its day again. You have too good a fan base to go down the drain.

Keep supporting and singing and hopefully we meet next year in the Championship. Best of luck!!!

We signed at least 3 amateur players who playing for free upto now

Just like to say thanks for the last 3/4 years Derek , its been a blast , we were so unlicky on so many occaisions last year

All the best for the future , I doubt we'll find somebody as generous as your good self

Nice words BIEL ....

Please don't take my £5 comment as a side swipe as it was never meant to be, just a post I saw on Facebook !

I really enjoy both the banter & the game day experience with Bulls fans & a small consolation (if we are not relegated by Administration) is that we will enjoy these games again next year, that + it would be nice to see some away fans & a 7K + crowd or 9K at Odsal !

Glad you've finally got rid of that poundshop Koukash, he was a disgrace to your club and rugby league in general. Hopefully you manage to get some humility back and develop a proper club over the next couple of years instead of the overpriced journeyman the clown brought in to try and buy success at the expense of the game

Really gutted for you guys, the brief Leigh Bulls rivalry was fun, although DB and Marc Green tried to spoil it.

If you go into liquidation, I really hope you get a clean start, not the one that the RFL handed us, -12 points, no players and in the championship where we endured a horror season. If a liquidation I hope you are given a 0 point start in league 1, you then have a chance to build momentum with a squad of players suited to whatever budget you can cobble together

Who's this Bell End /\

Somebody who wants Leigh to survive and thrive in the long term, that's something you would never achieve under the control of that throbber who offers people fights on social media and countless other things. You're better off shut of him

Bitterly, bitterly disappointed with this shambles! When the one-man band ousted the rest of the consortium and embarked on his journey, I felt there was only one way for it to end - it was just a question of when. We were encouraged to "enjoy the ride" but that's not easy, when you know it's going to end in a car crash!

But we were very close to achieving something like SL sustainability last year Alan , think back to how many games we were competitive , and how many we werent
Not forgatting some abysmal reffereeing performances and some just plain bad luck with injuries and suspensions
We were close to being able to establish ourselves
But it wasnt to be and we are here again , not for the 1 st time , probably not the last
the new year will hopefully bring with it new hope and optimism , you never know we might win a shield before then

Just waiting on a few of the old reserve squad to get back off their hols. Will have a team for Sunday and then a few amateurs/ex-Leigh reserves week after.

You surround yourself with clowns don’t complain your life’s a circus.

We will be back.
