Hope that they can get things sorted out over there. Its not good for RL in general when heartland clubs are struggling. Good luck Leigh.

Personally would be sad to see anything bad happen to Leigh. Got some good mates over there.

Re: Trouble At Leigh : Fri Sep 30, 2011 8:47 am  

We need Leigh in our League next season.
No disrespect to all the others but there is only Fev, Leigh and us to get excited about and hopefully Barra.
I do not include Sheffield as whilst they are as good side, their attendances home and away bring nothing to the League.
Good luck Leigh.
Good luck Barra.
O'h and good luck Keighley.

Hope it turns out okay for Leigh, hang in there guys and if I can help in some small way I will.

This really sums up the problems we face in the lower leagues,When a team who have done as well as Leigh this season are struggling what chance everyone else.As long as the powers that be focus solely on the super league we in our divisions are going to struggle.Good luck Leigh hope you can get things sorted.

Thanks to all our Fax Friends , the situation isvery SERIOUS at the moment , but we are hopeful , a meeting next Wednesday will hopefully give us some light at the end of the Tunnel .

2 things concern me about why Leigh are where thay are;

1. Why did they allow themselves to exceed a salary cap knowing they might have restricted finances
2. why did they base their financial plans on achieving a GF spot.

I hope they pull through and sure they will but something smacks of poor management to me, surely clubs have budgets to work to that are designed to keep them solvent?

I think we (Batley) may cause a moment or 2 of excitement as well, in the same way we have over the last couple of years

Good luck to Leigh though, hope they sort things out. A proper, traditonal club with a great set of fans.
