Lease was sorted and signed by Leigh East but the Council filed it and never signed it,,,,,,,, but if I'm honest the way the last 6 years has gone it wouldn't have been worth the paper it was written on.
Very sad , frustrating to be dealing with local, prominent people who don't really care about anyone except themselves.

I really do hope this gets a lot of airtime as it really isn't a good thing for a council to be indirectly responsible for closing a community sports club that keeps the children active and off the streets (especially after the town football club and all its teams have been lost to the community in similar circumstances).
One wonders what the real agenda was when building a community sports village if it isn't for the actual community these teams actually represent ?
Mr Burnham should be seriously applying political pressure as it doesn't look good for Labour if more children lose a sports club due to a Labour controlled council wanting to make some money from it.

Hi Mr Chairman, sent you a PM mate.

Leigh County Promary School and Sacred Heart lost their playing fields

Do you think this is a Wigan-wide conspiracy Wys?
First they make the Centurions the Wigan Reserve team, then they get rid of our amateur teams. Next the town of Leigh will be renamed "Wigan East".

Can I just ask one question?

Can East PROVE that contracts have been broken? Or is it just promises that have been broken. If they can prove contracts are broken i'll feel a lot better to be honest.

Advocaat I have been telling them that Wiggin will be playing at the WSV next season. It will just start with a couple of on the road games to entice the youngsters of Leigh to support Wiggin. I would be very concerned about what Wiggin Council is doing to Leigh East because it will be Leigh RLFC's turn next and over time they will get kicked out to make way for Wiggin.

I just hope Leigh East can win this battle because it will be Leigh RLFC to be kicked out of the WSV next.

The only team left in Leigh will be Leigh Miners.

It is so obvious to enlightened people like me. Not like yourself Mr. Popular Advocaat :O)

I've merged the two Leigh East threads together, it seems silly to have two going at the same time, talking about the same thing.

Not a massive job Ian to fill in the corners and reposition the big screens but I think you would still only have just about 15,000.

Still wouldn't be big enough for them in my opinion Tony, and they have no need to leave the DW as they have a massive lease on it.

The thing is the atmosphere at a sold out extended LSV would be far superior to a third full DW.

That's a joke the bit where he mentions young people having access, and they want to stop the kids from East , can't believe it!

Keith - another email just sent FYI
