LOL. If you're putting that forward as a serious defence of this perceived slight of Leigh, which nobody is decrying, then you already buy into the argument he's making.'"
You're right,it's totally irrelevant about the railway station, just like it being irrelevant that it's a baffling dilemma that someone in a small town like Leigh have bankrolled the club, but not in big city like Bradford.I just don't see why pumpy should compare Leigh to your failings. BTW- I'm not offended in the slightest.My team will be playing superleague rugby next season.

I'm not right about that, for no less a reason than that's not even slightly what I said.
Now, if you don't mind. This is about us. Not the things you incorrectly perceive as having been said about you.
If you'd be so good as to fsck right off that would be lovely. Thanks.

You are misrepresenting Pumpy. He CONTRASTED Leighs success with Bradfords failings. Compare means state the similarities, contrast means state the differences.

Pumpy stated....
What baffles me is not that you have a backer. It's the dilemma of how if Leigh can find a bit of wealth in a small town, how come there's literally not a penny to be found in Bradford or for that matter anywhere for the Bulls.
So in CONTRAST this statement is totally irrelevant. I'm sure there are many small towns,or villages in the country with very wealthy people,but that doesn't mean a thing.

| From the outside looking in, is there a possibility that this is some kind of strategic thinking? That they're getting wind that the case might not go their way, so they adopt a strategy that offers some protection or buffer in the event that they are hit with an immediate demand for £350,000, given that the application is to wind the business up? It messes up next season but somehow preserves the club for longer than that?
I said it earlier this year, but the mess is partly the fault of the Middle 8 system. How can a club budget for the season? If they aspire to compete with the Super League clubs, they have to spend money. Without a big backer, if they don't make the Middle 8's, they are screwed.
What the middle 8's will become is whipping fodder for the Super League clubs, all building to a one-off game at the end of it. For teams like Batley and Fev, it's just an unexpected financial boost before the whipping. Leigh are an exception because of their financial clout and what was, pretty much, a bottom half Super League team. A club like Bradford either end up settling for the Championship by budgeting for failure, or else risk going bang when they don't make the four.

| Quote Pumpetypump="Pumpetypump"I find it truly baffling that village teams in Wigan get millionaire backing '"
While I understand that you are angry PumpetyGrump, it is worth remembering that some Leigh fans have consistently shown support for Bulls in their plight & wished them well that they may return to be a strong SL force again, many also contributed when you were in the cack in the past.
FWIW I still offer my support in the hope that the Bradford Club can turn it around & if there is a call to arms from the RL family for a little financial support then I am sure I will find a £5 towards the cause, this despite supporting a Club from a small village in Wigan.
Best of British.

| Just a result of being in the championship with ever decreasing funds, lack of attendance (rightly), no tv appearances so reduced sponsorship and failing last year.
A warning to KR to take the championship more seriously unlike us

I'm afraid so, the L***h posters receive message alerts when the word L***h is mentioned & their on it like a rash.
If any of you have any will left - good luck.

Actually Leigh is not a village, with a population of around 70,000. And also, Bolton's Reebok Stadium, is 3 miles nearer to the Leigh Sports VILLAGE, than Wigan Athletic's ground. What's your favourite song by the Jam, is it 'The Bitterest Pill (I Ever Had to Swallow)' or 'Going Underground' ?

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, so Fartown copy us again with our naughtiest cheap ticket deal to shore up support. The only difference is they do have a sugar daddy, they would be well and truly screwed without him and crowds barely larger than we get in the championship.
