Take a look at Leigh's crowds and compare to ours

Nobody could deny that our crowds were poor last season.

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.

Quite a lot, if you want ensure financial viability of a club.

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.

See you never responded to my Huddersfield attendance problems, remember it was only a short while since they were top of Super League, they survive with a chairman who has pumped in a lot of personal money, and this is the birth place of the sport, take away Leeds, wonder how many clubs attendances pay the bills? Wigan, Hull, Warrington, they may be all close. Look at Championship clubs, how many pay their way from attendances.

The great lie repeated. Believe it or not I did actually note that attendances in the last couple of years may have fallen short of the 15,000 who saw Fulham play Wakefield at Craven Cottage. Believe or not I did note that we were playing Batley instead of Brisbane last year - despite the similarity in the kit!

There is not one person who doesn't recognise that this club has been poorly run and is a pale shadow of the team from 1997. Guess what - I'm going to watch them anyway.
