the draw to take place in 1 hour

Quote: vastman "What a ridiculous statement. So you managed a new ground and I'm p[leased for you but that has nothing to do with Leigh or Wakey being in or out of SL. No one other than Leeds has actually developed their ground due to being in SL, look at Saints and Bradford in particular. You were fortunate to have a good Council and find a good deal, I really wish we could find the same.

As for us being no nearer a ground, how do you know? I think you will find we are but until everything is signed, sealed and delivered I don't think Ted will be ringing you.

The reason we are in SL is because we know how to put together a RL team on a very tight budget.

For us to move on we need a new stadium we know that and we are working on it but the sort of stadium we need don't come easy - fact. It's as much luck as anything else why most clubs have new stadia. Most in fact only have it due to them being partnered with a football club, ie Wigan, Hudds ans Hull for starters.

I like Leigh and I don't like franchise. Please don't make me dislike Leigh by taking up this we have a stadium so we have a right to SL crap. Don't end up like bitter low rent versions of Hudds fans, you're better than that.

Trinity are in SL because they keep winning on the only place it should matter - the pitch. If Leigh had of done that they would be in SL now. Sadly they are not but that's not the fault of Trinity or Belle Vue is it

Agree with all the above mate..........Leigh are heading in the right direction now - new stadium, chairman and coach etc.......the days of overspending and signing old has beens are behind us at last.
We have the right people in charge now who are steering us in the right direction - both on and off the field. No more over the hill players.....we are signing top up and coming players who are also local lads that will play with pride and passion for the club - its showing every week and its getting stronger.

As for Wakey......fair enough they have a poor ground BUT we are lucky enough to have a council who have provided us with a great stadium....Wakey dont have this luxury ( feel sorry for them on that front). Wakey have shown most clubs what you can acheive on the field on a small budget but with a top coach (they should be applauded on this).

This is the type of club that SL should want in their division, they also have brought in players from the lower divisions and given them a shot at SL and they are proving good signings for them.

Well done Wakey and good luck in getting a new ground cos you guys deserve one.
