I treat each game as I see it. If they deserve clapping off I will, last night they didn't. Most of the season we have and my hands and voice were sore for days after Blackpool. As said before, I paid my money and its my choice. I left just before the hooter. One thing I don't do and never ever will though is boo the players. Great season, disappointing end. Now lets hope we can sort things financially over the coming months. Widnes did it, I'm sure we can.

Had we had a average and disappointing season, and last game was against better opposition and won, no doubt more would have stayed behind. That's what sports fans do - short memories. Each to their own.
Personally unless the team has won a trophy or had a special season I don't think the players should make a last game of season thanks apart from the usual after the game applauds for support.

Some emotional posts on here, some aimed at the wrong direction, and some not.

Should not be any slanging matches. We need some soliderity now, because any true fan wil know that there is a distinct possibility that we will become whipping boys next season.

The ref was not too bad but he got some decisions wrong.

1 - He was right to penalise Hill for what was a stupid lazy flop. Problem is, Henderson did this most of the game and it went unpenalised. Once the tackle is made, just one hand justifies a flop !

2 - Linesman bottle it on Yere's tackle on Donlan. A fair, hard justified hit turned into a spear tackle. He should have walked !!

Problem is, we didn't go for 2 points to square it at 8-8, lose the plot, and Yere supplies the break and pass 10 mins later for Sheffield to break our hearts !!

You knew then that it was not going to be Leighs day.!! icon_mad.gif

The booing was aimed at the ref and not the players

kcab sfrawdder 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 That couldn’t be done, and he did it!:9005.jpg

Quote: Starbug "We had consistent good form between 2000 and 2004 , our attendances dropped , if anybody who is a ST holder decides to not come next season because of 1 game , then they don't deserve to follow RL or the Leigh club'"



I recall big league and play off gates v Widnes, Salford, Oldham, Hudds and others during that time, great CC crowds v Salford and Wigan plus a magnificent away turn out at Wire.
I recall the 2004 disaster and the 2005 debacle that followed - we never recovered from that, we were clueless and gripped with infighting.
We need a new dawn and a new unity, 1000 fans paying £20 a month for season ticket/shirt will see us right in 2012. We need every passionate and proud Leyther behind keeping this club alive - we have no time for division.

Quote: Dick Jones "I stayed and showed my appreication of the season as a whole,we have played some brilliant rugby and Ive enjoyed it all , since Millward annouced he was going it s all gone down hill though. Ok we were poop tonight, and the players knew it.
I must say though, I was very disappointed that after annoucing several times that Basil and the players would be in Legends Bars after the game, that none of them showed up, left there at 10 and no players or Millward came in.'"

At least they were consistant last night then, conspicuous by their absence! icon_eek.gif

Are these the ones that couldn't be bothered applauding the players for their seasons efforts last night ?

So what?? Players come and go - fans remain!! I can't believe you're dishing abuse to your own fans, hell i'd be absolutely gutted if we'd lost at home in a play off semi.

I thought with it being the last game more would have stayed, to say goodbye to the ones leaving and to say thanks for all the good times, Im sure if Sheffield had lost , their fans would have stayed and clapped the efforts of their team.

I think all that was done after the Toulouse game.

Yes they are , dont forget , your RL club is for life , not just Xmas

And as ' gutted ' as they feel you still thank the players for their endeours through what has been an entertaining season

I wonder if the Gateshead fans all left before the end of their last game of the season ?

Did we all say goodbye to Hilton Park after the league game against Whitehaven or the play-off game?

Quote: Starbug "It would seem we had a lot of W1g4n fans watching us tonight , maybe some of them should get their boots on and have a go at playing the game , they are obviously better than the players wearing the shirt tonight , given some of their comments on here'"


I really can't believe some of the tripe spouted on here.

I left with 90 seconds to go - in your eyes that makes me less than you.

However I had my 10 year old nephew with me who I had to drop off in Bickershaw (he is in school today) before driving home to Appley Bridge so that my son could catch a train to join his friends in Manchester. What did you have to get back to?

I paid £48 quid for the tickets last night and over the years have spent tens of thousands sponsoring, investing in and supporting the various guises of Leigh RL.

I also played the game for many years and have the creaking joints to show for it so I know what it takes to pull on a shirt and take the field.

So don't criticise me when you don't know me.

You are not the only person who has put their money where their mouth is so stop behaving like it.
