Leigh aren't skint mate. The sudden departure of our benefactor left a hole to be filled but it has been. At the end of the year new Shareholders will be in who make O'Connor look poor, time to focus on Academies to tick all boxes - 5 will move up next year, 3 of whom have played some part this year in Hopkins, Nicholson and Briscoe - Pownall would be the 4th but limited.
Full time academies linked to Leigh college will be running in September, next franchise farce makes us a shoe in.

All the best with that then

T'Humbles aren't big enough to stop it.

Goodbye Salford.

Why don't they just do a ring around the family and move the Appleby Horse Fair to Leigh for one weekend.
