How is education supposed to make me feel smarter? Besides, every time I learn something new, it pushes some old stuff out of my brain. Remember when I took that home winemaking course, and I forgot how to drive?:icons077e_files/4864-863FALH-msnicons.jpg |

Which I am sure would be the same response a Swinton fan would give to a Leyther  |

| Quote: furryenzo "It annoys me as a Swinton fan to see so much negativity on here about us.
I dont know how many of you know the details, but we have significantly reduced costs at the LSV due to only one stand being opened on match days (except im guessing when we play you).
Our chairman John Kidd isnt the richest man in the world but he does have money, and hes Swinton through and through, he not a business man looking to make any significant profits for himself.
If any of you actually read the article on Tom Armstrong you will understand that he is concentrating on his studies and only playing part-time. Now im assuming in his eyes looking at Leighs position they couldnt garuntee him a contract and so hes looked elsewhere for assurance hes playing the highest level of rugby he can in his personal position. Being a saint helens lad the next obvious choice in our league would be us. And why not, a championship one winning side who have retained almost their full squad, with a few quality additions and a coach with a very good reputation and track record. Were not kidding ourselves, were not trying to get in S.L we want to produce an entertaining brand of rugby as we did last year and earn a respectable position in the Championship.
Our squad consists of young players with bags off effort but maybe not the most quality (who arnt demanding much money), quality experienced players i.e. Ian Watson and Mark Smith, (who at the back end of their careers arn't asking for much money, but are still motivated to play) and this year we are signing a handful of quality signings to strengthen the squad and add the extra push and spark needed at this higher level. These players may want more money but there are only a few. I.e Chaz I'anson and now Tom Armstrong (and as rumour has it a couple more of your lads).
We are not busting the bank and we dont have a hidden benefactor. We are just being run sensibly for a club our size and have realistic ambitions.'"
well you won't get any negative comments from me pal, any club who tries to improve, and providing exciting rl for their fans deserve all the credit, and when time allows and obviously leigh games i shall be down the lsv watching swinton.  |

A lot of players say he is weak and has favourites too. But thats probably what the 'not quite good enoughs' want. |
