We`ve got some fans though Dr Bullsheight.....

It's been looked in to but the bus service that runs past Atherton station to Leigh is every 8 minutes Monday-Saturday and even then I think every 15 minutes on a Sunday so the service is already there really.

Of course he can't. Only individuals can go bankrupt. Companies can't.

Either way, we went through financial difficulties but the company in existence now is still the same one as previously.

Its just that after the play-off game there was lots of press of impending doom and appealing to the heavens for help. Now theres a squad full of good players and everything looks rosy.

Thats full credit to the fundraisers on a job very well done.

We do have a good squad but that is because us and Swinton are the only two Championship clubs west of the Pennines.

Regarding our survival' in the main it is down to the club borrowing money from the rfl and cutting down on costs not least wages for players and the fact that we have a small squad.

Fans have helped too of course.

Oh right ...........So who was the

aimed at?

For me Sheff and Leigh will be very close game wise this season , imlooking forward to a good game on Sunday .

For the financial difficulties Leigh had, the "begging buckets" for want of a better term that were out in the close season internationals (England and England Knights) that is one hell of a squad they've compiled.

I just hope that, for the supporter's sake, the new model is more sustainable than the old one.

We're all hoping for the same and thankfully this year's budget seems a lot less flawed now the sugardaddy element has been removed. 1,800 break even, 2,000 to pay most of the debt off, 2,200 average possibly achievable and would mean we're debt free by the end of the season. Our squad size is much smaller and obviously players realise their Championship options are ever reducing on our side of the Pennines.

Work it out.

Truly unbelievable comeback! Don't think anyone in the ground expected us to win that at 22-0 with 25 mins left, to be fair though we never stopped going and played excellently the last 20 minutes. The drop goal from Brambani was incredible, second time he's done it for us after his effort against Featherstone a few years ago.

We should qualify for the quarter finals now, for a change!!
