No.
As a fan. No. Furious. Still. Nowt to do with the TDC this is just me as a fan of over 30 years whose spent thousands supporting them all over the UK and France.
I got to limoux and back by every other way imaginable when the dust cloud was up. I probably wouldn't walk across the road if we played today.
An informal loose friendship with anyone is fine. Nobody will tell me the likes of Tom spencer doesn't put in as much effort as one of our own.
Everyone knew. It was fine.
That's all that was needed. Maintain the status quo.
Having the love of your life officially announcing to the world she's now in bed with your bigger and better neighbour who you have never cared for too much in the first place, and being told you can pay to join in at £18 a time for which he shows you a few of his moves and tells you how he keeps up a good performance week in week out doesn't fill me with enthusiasm, even if he's going to lend me his lawnmower once in a while.
I've got a lawnmower, I don't want to watch my neighbour sharing my wife, and I certainly don't want to pay for it.

Hate is a strong word, I don't hate them. Maybe I thought I did when I was young and daft but I don't hate them at all.
Jukesy, duffs, mado, beswick, spencer, all Wigan lads. Sound as pounds, top lads. We can't hate them, they're wiganers but they're 'our' wiganers. 
They're simply from our long established rivals, sporting politically and socially. Any rivalry in sport is what it's all about otherwise we might as well go watching morris dancing.
Where's the rivalry now? Where does it sit?
The ambition or dream to be better than them, just for a moment. It's what drives sports fans. It's what makes us do what we do. |

Hate is the wrong word yes.
Although who ever Wigan play against even LEEDS I want that team to win.
We have had Wigan lads play for isn't Aspinwall one too?
Chris Hill also .
This isn't about that this is about Leigh being an independent club, we are one step of a feeder club as it stands, dress it up how you want, but that's how it looks to me.

Yep the history of LEIGH rugby is littered with wiganers but its never stopped the banter.It feels like we're being racist when ever we say anything now.Odd thing is,its not wiganers who are bothered 
There is no rivalry now,the town has been swallowed up and the RL club is now wigan borough centurions,serving the wigan community. Gutted is an understatement.
I stand by what i said on another thread, the BOD must see this through to its end.What ever that is.

| Leighlife radio won't be there either as we're going out with relatives for the day (that's presuming Swinton Wolves would even allow us to broadcast - remember last year when they banned us?)
We will be there on Monday though. |

Noticed a post further up stating if a Wigan DR player appears in our team then that's it. You must have stopped coming when we had 4 from wire then so what does it matter to you. Whilst not happy we have to see what it means as many things posted on here as to what it is bear no resemblance to the press reports or Trevors interview.

Let it go now Derek,whats done is done and enough damage has been done on the message board already.
Fans will turn up and back this new direction and the club will prosper or they'll walk away and the club could fold.
Either way its down to the individual to decide if he/she want to finance it

We need fresh bodies for Monday with such a short turn around so with that team selection we could have Duffy, Thornley, Nicholson, Taylor [size(pending concussion)[/size & O'Donell fresh. |

You're quite right John. The only thing i wish people would do is base their decision on the facts we currently have as opposed to what they think are facts. However i do think my analogy was fair...based on what we know to date. |
