Indeed , and also the rumoured attempt by Mr Argyle to purchase Leigh prior to setting up TWP , if I did get the chance to meet either him or Mr Perez , I'd inquire to what exactly were their long term plans for the club |

| Quote: Harold Rigby Jnr "Good Evening Alan, this all maybe so. However I remember going to Warrington for a pre season friendly. I remember it vividly, firstly all the talk pre match was that Rowley had been offered a head coaching role at a new venture in Canada. In Canada no less, by heck I thought, Canada, no it was not April the first. Umpteen people told me that on that day, secondly I remember young McNally being carried off in front of me, stood as I was in front of the try line in the corner of the terraced end.
Brierley probably pushed his luck, possibly badly advised granted, knowing his position was strong as the club's only fit half back, and the club called his bluff. I did not like what pursued in his statement, it caused untold damage to the club and every bit of it was unwarranted and unnecessary.'"
Hi Harold. Whose statement - the owner or Ryan?
The offer of a coaching position in Canada, wasn't just restricted to Paul - I believe Neil had one too! |

Well, I'm glad we aren't playing our home matches in Canada - even in blocks of four.
Steve, would it be correct to say that London Broncos, in the days of Richard Branson, were also interested in buying us? Now, if that had happened, we might have been in SL next season!!  |

Financially from his point , a ' no brainer ' , but it would most likely have seen us playing in League 1 as TWPs ' feeder ' club
You think that's a better future for us than our current situation ? , tells me ALL I need to know about your love of LRLFC |

I think that was more a way for Mr Branson to ' get out ' of his commitment at London without being seen to just dump them

As I put , more a way of getting out of his commitments to London without losing too much face , he realised that London Broncos just didn't have a SL future , most likely still don't

Still amazes me that the sport couldn’t build on the decent crowds at Fulham. A couple of rival teams in centre of London would have got our sport to stage. |

' They ' told you this ?
I didn't realise you and Mr's Perez and Argyle were on speaking terms
It would have been a short cut to SL , invest in Leigh , attain promotion , then move franchise to Toronto , reapply Leigh into League 1 to be run as dual reg reserves , thankfully Derek isn't as stupid as you |

Glad you now recognise the past is the past and should not be constantly dragged up to score petty points on social media , I look forward to you following your own advice |
