Tell you what, having spent the past 5 minutes being completely wound up by the SL muppets on the Virtual Terrace, I've come to the conclusion that it makes complete sense to let Super League get on with their own cock ups and hopefully the Championship clubs to work together at a much higher level than previously so that we're best placed to carry on regardless when the house of cards collapses (ask why Super League, the Challenge Cup and World Club Challenge are all without sponsors for next season).

Since you're so intelligent I assume you know what a rhetorical question is so I won't bother to explain why the original grammar was in fact perfectly correct whereas yours... Well, the least said...

And bad grammar isn't a crime, whereas publicly stated bigotry is verging on it.

I have worked in Warrington all my working life and have to say, I find it all rather similar to where I live, apart from the fact that Warringtonians seem to think it's a lot better than it is. Obviously, none of the districts has any strong identity so your villages find it easier to identify with a central town club than do Leigh which is a small town with a strong sense of heritage.

I agree that the odds of finding someone wealthy for us are longer by dint of a smaller populace but that is not all.

The odds are further lengthened by the fact that circumstances are not attractive to all but the wealthiest backers.

You'd disagree with this last statement? (Question mark - indicates question. This could be rhetorical, but it isn't - so please do answer).

What are you twittering on about it was Paul who had a go at your lack of understanding of grammar not I, you really should get that paranoia seen to before it results in something serious.

Quote: waterfield's finest "

You also generalise, showing genuine prejudice, about the population of a town. Poor. Uneducated. Stupid. Is this really acceptable behaviour? Even for a child?'"

He's so childish its beyond belief.

Also, anyone who thinks Chris Bridge is world class is away with the fairies!

Quote: Dico "
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.'"



You do realise that if the guardians of the game were actually capable of expanding the professional game into big cities beyond the M62, as they intended, then Warrington may eventually find their place in the North-West Counties League playing their local derbies against Leigh, Widnes etc?

I'd be a bit more grateful, and a lot less condescending if I were you.

I did not say that at all.
You said that Matty Blythe had improved beyond the level where he was a strong option for Warrington. I said that he wasnt in Bridge's class and as soon as we had two or even one fit centre on the park he wouldnt get a look in, which is exactly what happened.

FWIW Bridge is probably the best British centre in SL and has many attributes of a world class player but injuries have taken their toll and he lacks the size or pace anymore to be truly world class.

I would agree, however I also believe the current system in place is the ideal solution in todays climate. Its not perfect but not many sports can afford to relegate from the top flight to a completely part time comp. It is still possible regardless of what you claim to find a wealthy backer ala Widnes or Barrow, they just have to be patient and effective as opposed to throwing all their money at a first team.

Ol banned man.
His ethics were all wrong but he still had financial clout to take barrow from division 2 to the Chp trophy, albeit illegally. He was still a wealthy backer

Quote: Dico "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 icon_wink.gif

Quote: Starbug "Can I just point out the contradiction here

So you are praising him for ' financing all his money at the 1 st team ' , then stating they shouldn't throw all their money at the 1 st team , ? , make you mind up

Your posts are getting increasingly bizzare , i'd suggest you knock off the drugs

As Little jonny said when his teacher asked why he was a Widnes fan , " because my mother and father are Miss " , so what if they took drugs and stole things ? , " then I'd be a Warrington fan Miss "

This joke is courtesy of Chris Dalton , Widnes mod
Its not a contradiction at all you've misunderstood because under the CURRENT system which is what I was in fact praising Barrow got where exactly? Nowhere, their application wasn't considered as they didnt meet the minimum requirements set by the game. But one things for sure, they weren't scratching round debating how they could pay their players.

Regarding the sugar daddy comment, many a time on the VT you've said that in the modern climate you really need a sugar daddy to prop up the clubs. Its not ideal but, exactly as I said about three pages ago, thats the reality.
Rightly or wrongly I believe you to be envious of clubs in a more fortunate position than Leigh yes.
