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.

They would have to make the LSV a few thousand bigger to accommodate Wigan Graham, they average 15,000 or above and have over 10,000 season ticket holder I believe.

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. |

Whilst like everyone else on here I support Leigh East in this dispute I have to say your theory that Wigan Warriors will take over the LSV next season is bonkers.

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

Just a reminder that the Leigh East problem is being discussed on BBC Radio Manchester at 7.50am (I think).

Good luck to everyone at leigh East. SOme of the best times of my life spent there watching my son play. It would be a tragedy if they folded.
Absoulte shame on Wigan Council. Maybe we should all refuse to pay our council tax.

Can I just ask how much subscriptions are now and how much they would have to be raised by to cover the shortfall?

| Quote: mr. chairman "Yes mish no problem . Subs at the moment are £4 per week per child over 40 weeks this is different for the open age as there year is shorter . If they take the bar then subs would increase immediately by £3 then another £3 in three years . Making it a total of £10 a week per child and lots of parents have two and three children at east . This assumption is based on the current figure of 200 paying players if numbers decrease on affordability they would need to rise again'"
That's a massive jump Keith and obviously numbers would drop dramatically if prices were raised to such an amount.
Is £4 the norm? Is this the sort of amount that the kids who play at other amateur clubs pay? |
