It is Great news if what is being said is correct.

Lets hang fire for the press release and the ink to dry before we crack open the champagne.

If there's ink on a tenancy agreement that Easts can live with, then it's great news. If nothing has been signed yet, then given the past performance of the council it may turn out that noting gets signed.

Great news, well done to all concerned.

Thought the same myself....don't leave the room 'til you've got Lord Smith's signature on the agreement....preferabley in blood!!

Well done to all concerned!!

Take a look at our joint statement from Leigh East and Wigan council www.leigheast.org.uk/news-253-a- ... ncil-.html

Fantastic result for Leigh East and congratulations to Keith and everyone involved in this from Leigh East. A real David v Goliath, which shows what can be done by team work.
I hope that every Wigan Councillor who has been involved in this shameful affair has a long, hard look at themselves, particularly if they are taking their children or grandchildren this weekend to participate in sport organised by amateur clubs regardless of what that sport may be.
Where would we be without all the hard work of these unsung heroes?
OBE for Mr Chairman in the next honours list maybe ??

Well done Leigh East and all concerned great news for our RL Community as a whole IMO.

I luv Leigh and all the Leythers who live there.

The Leader of Wigan Council, Lord Peter Smith, saiddiscussion with Leigh East Rugby Club about the future operations of the pavilion at Leigh Sports Village. We are very pleased to have reached an agreement....oh really Lord Peter !!!!

WELL DONE TO ALL AT LEIGH EAST !!

Well done Keith reaaly pleased for you and all at Leigh East,they obviusly did'nt knock all your brains out on the rugby field mate

Fantastic News - Massive well done to all concerned at Leigh East and to those who supported the cause in particular Heyman and Co for all their work done for 'gratis'

This really is fantastic news.

I will however be tempted to tell Lord Smith the next time he comes canvassing or pushing leaflets through my door how unhappy I was at the thought of the council nearly evicting East out of their own clubhouse and therefore threatening a huge sports club's existence, at the sports village.

Chuffed !!!!

Well done Keith, and to all concerned.

It is great result for the club and it will mean a few councillors will be a bit twitchy next election time.
