Freedom for supporters of the government, only for members of one party - however numerous they may be - is no freedom at all. freedom is always and exclusively for one who thinks differently.

| Quote: brian2 "How have they managed this, and what was the price? the RL owned the freehold didnt they?'"
No, the freehold of Odsal is owned by the local council, the RFL bought the lease and sub-let to the Bulls. As far as us buying land, back in the eighties freehold land for development in West London was over £1million per acre - not very feasible! | | |

They say the is the council who are driving the deal to sell the freehold, to release cash, deal should be done later this year.
As for buying in he Eighties, West London was not the only option, there were cheaper areas.

What has attendances got to do with it? should Huddersfield not be allowed to spend because they only get 5,000 attendances? Leigh have mow signed a player from Catalan, they must be up to their newly negotiated higher cap, funny one month ago we were refused extra cap for accommodation cost differences? in London and North.

Jaybs was not me that brought up Leigh I was just commenting on someone else's post and suggestion that it was sour grapes on our part far from it. In reality comparing our crowd numbers the last couple of years actually has no meaning as we didn't get the gate receipts from Barnet. I suppose that means we were not liable for any tax on the gate receipts so should not fall foul there.
The alarm bells do ring a little bit when you see the signings that Leigh have made and the salary cap increase, personally I hope they are stable, I don't want to see any club in difficulties

Started off poor by the end they were virtually non-existent. |

Ah, the peddling of the great lie. Unless you're on here, slagging the club off at every available opportunity (without suggesting any concrete alternative) you're blinkered to the Club's plight.
Complete and utter rubbish. |

Is it a Great Lie though?
There was a time (not that long ago) when jaybs was the lone voice of apology.
Now it's like a chorus where David Hughes is given a virtual Get out of Jail free card because he puts a team out on the park.
Literally in his case.
