Referees are like women, they make snap decisions and never reverse them.

Talk about being bitched - what a torrid time they've had. They'll be looking for some A&E rest time for the next three years at least.:simpsons/PDT13.gif |

It is this last statement that has helped me stay cool and relaxed about this.

| A massive thankyou to Arthur who has dug deep and steered us in the right direction
Hope that we do get someone in soon , uncertain times for us , but certainly a great advertisement for a new chairman / backer to come in , Top of the League , Coach with a proven record , a team that are playing with as much passion as they can muster , state of the art stadium and facilities and if we can win a couple of pieces of silverware this season we'll be ticking as many boxes as the RFL can throw at us

| It's a shame he didn't hang on until the end of the season before pulling out. We may have been in a position to entice someone to invest. As it stands we have won nowt and haven't ticked any SL boxes so we are less of an attractive proposition to any potential investors.
Its up and down like a brides nightie when you support Leigh!

| I did say if we win a couple of pieces of silverware
I also said uncertain times aswell , and yes it's always been a rollercoaster ride supporting the Leythers , I wouldn't have it any other way , at least it's not boring or predictable
Keep the faith WE BELEIGH'VE ! C'MON LEYTHERS !

It is suugested that Mark's leaving is more to do with internal issues rather than owt at the RFL!

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 |

| Having only spoken to those close to him and not directly to Mark yet, I'm reluctant to post reasons on a forum. Dirty linnen in public n'all that. and even then, I'd be hesitant at posting anything that could damage the club.
Safe to say, I believe it's more of an an internal matter and absolutely nowt to do with policy direction of the game/RFL etc.
I hope he re-considers.

| We rely too much on such people. Dez, Mark and your chair etc - without their cash, the club has to downsize their costs!
Unless our clubs can build up the crowd sizes significantly so, I'm afraid some players who can't get gigs in SL will find the financial reality that is biting everybody else's @r_se, will start to have a nibble of theirs.
Fax have reduced their costs this year. Dez's pockets do have bottoms to them - despite the popular misconception.
We may have to trim next term as I suspect Leigh will.

I have stated all along that the break even at the LSV is 4,000 paying spectators , it was around 2,800 at Hilton park , I'd have thought slightly less at PO road , which leads me on to looking at the crowd for Fax's visit on sunday , there is some serious work needed at our level if clubs are to be sustainable
