Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity
Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike
SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done
But he with a chuckle replied
That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing

I take it you drive around the rest of the NW with your eyes firmly shut 
Enjoyable weekend of RL  .
Needs a touch up on when its played (perhaps bring the Nines/NRC final forward to June). |

YOU CAN LEARN FROM THE PAST BUT NOT RELIVE IT.YOU CAN HOPE FOR THE FUTURE BUT CAN NEVER BE SURE THERE WILL BE ONE.: |

| Quote: jeffvickers "It was aimed at getting a full house at Bloomfield Road, and it worked, as it has got fans to Bloomfield Road who would not have attended the NRC final otherwise.'"
Although the Fylde day went reasonably well it added hardly anyone to the stadium to watch the 9s finals due to logistics of geting from one venue to another. Both 9s finals were played in front of a couple of hundred fans at best wouldn`t surprise me if some 9s fans missed the finals as we left Fylde before the matches finished traveled quickly by car and only just got there before the 9s plate final started.
I think if they run this comp next year they need to learn a few lessons .Especially the takeing care that there are better facilities for the players and not bother trying to force people into a 2 day event.
I enjoyed the weekend as the weather was nice. I asked Nigel Woods "how come the 9s dinner due to be held Sat night was cancelled with 4 days notice" He replied he did not know it had been but would make enquiries.  |

He only played the one game to be fair charlie.
He might have been sitting or standing on the side for the last one on saturday but he didnt enter the field of play for the York game, he was only involved for the Gateshead game.

Hope this is a windup or dud info passed on.
Doesn't do our club any favours whatsoever if true.
Surely our coach wouldn't allow the players out late before any kind of game

In fairness, Leigh weren't the only team out on the lash on Saturday by all accounts.

To be fair as well Jenky - the Leigh lads and York team, were the last to play and when the final whistle went on Saturday the Woodlands was virtually deserted.
Surely you can't begrudge them a bit of time when some teams had finished a good 2 hours before.

Its a competiton that (whether we like it or not) was there to be played in and won.
We are currently going down the league and off the field we couldn't sell a Meat & Pater pie to a Wiganer whose been in a vegetarian food only jail for 6 years, hardly time for a celebration (why not do it out of sight if the club wants to do a team bonding booze up  ).
I was lucky I got in for nowt and its local to me, some people from Leigh will have travelled up and paid.
If the players want (and in fairness its a big IF as we don't know they did) to go out and get hammered perhaps they could follow Blackpool Panthers and Widnes's lead and gone out AFTER they had won something. |

| Quote: Starbug "Jenky , read my original comment and then my second one
The Leigh team played in the last match on the saturday , all the other teams bar York [ who we had just played ] had already booked into the hotel , some 2 hour earlier as Dave posted
Upon walking into the hotel a senior member of the coaching staff commented that it looked like the OK Corral , this is before any of our lot had checked in
So I am not refering to our players
Got it ![]()
Don't stop me now, i'm on my soapbox
(For Wiganers accidently getting the care officer to read this to them, don't worry its a saying not lots of soap in a box)
