Its a badly thought out initiative for 6 clubs,all the others have bought into it 100%.

As things stand i'll be picking and choosing my games this season, both home and away.
I have no interest in helping to finance a reserve league or any club in it.

Wholeheartedly agree about away games mate, won't be doing similar for home games though unless we end up going down the same route. A strongly worded statement from the club about it's intentions would be a huge help either way though.

A statement needs making about what is happening NOW and what is going to happen at the end of the 2014 season when the current licencing period is up.
Iv'e had enough of paying good money just to be treated like a door mat.

| Regarding Kylie Leuluai; he is Samoan so qualifies to play over here under the Kolpak ruling, and enjoys the same freedom of employment as the Bosman ruling affords to EU citizens.

A statement from the club??
They could make their displeasure at the situation known, but what else could they possibly say about either what is happening now, or what is happening at the end of 2014? We've no idea as the RFL have no idea, or are keeping everyone in the dark about it.
So on the presumption that you're not talkign about an RFL statement, I'd like to know what you think the club could possibly say to us. We already know they don't like the current DR setup, that was covered some months ago.

Sorry, I meant from the rfl,i don't think its down to individual clubs to pass comment on were this sport is going.
I wouldn't mind a collective statement from the chairmen of the championship clubs, if the rfl refuse to clarify whats currently going on.

That's good enough for me. I know the club have tried to distance themselves from it during pre-season, but the ball game has changed somewhat since then and it may be good for something of a reminder?

| Well by 'staying away' you are just walking into the hands of the RFL, thats what they want attendances to dwindle, revenue to go down and clubs to fail and go bang (outside of SL of course) then the SL clubs can have ALL the monies and sponsorships on offer, it's the quickest way to say goodbye to our club, and once it's gone I hope you all feel very proud, you can all have little badges made with I HELPED THE RFL KILL LEIGH RFC.

| Wasn't talking about home games Fred. By the way check out the champ attendance foe round one. Only two out of the seven games attracted more than 1000.

| Isn't it bloody great this sport. From being very upbeat a few weeks ago it has managed to bring about a complete feeling of dismay and no hope. You can't blame them Fred for feeling like this. Quite a few have given monies done work and followed our team through thick and thin. Now what could be the last kick in the teeth is delivered by the sports ruling body. A full on march is whats needed by every single amature and prossional clubs fans to show these tools that they are not the greek gods sat high on a cloud that they think they are. It's about time that they became accountable for their actions like every other despot organisation.

| Trying to send people on guilt trips doesn't work Fred.
This club ceases to be a club if its future is in a reserve league, and that "it seems, will be decided by people not associated with this club,so with or without our money,leighs future seems sorted one way or another.
Instead of having a go at us,send some emails to the rfl demanding clarification on the matter before the damage becomes irrepairable.

| Sounds a great idea that TV. However do enough of the fans care, many have walked away from the game in the last few years. The main problem seems to be the club Chairmen. Also the RFL is fast becoming an invisible and powerless body being completely swallowed up by the greedy and selfish Chairmen that make up SL. The worst thing about all this is that the same person sits at the top of both organisations (although he does need more than one chair to fit his humungous backside)
