We really don't know how to take advantage of a winning position - fantastic try from Watson to pull us level at 22-22 but, after umpteen consecutive sets of six, we didn't have the quality to 'turn the screw'; 'Haven went up the other end and the rest is history.

For a 20 minute spell in the second half, we were superb. Problem is, that has to be maintained over the other hour as well and, to be quite honest, performances don't matter now - it's all about the results.

Get yourselves to 'Fax, get behind the lads (as the Leigh speccies did admirably today) and you never know, we might achieve the impossible.

Best dust off the Great Escape theme.

Well done but rather than whining why don`t you realise that we`ve no god given right to be successful in this tier of RL..... We had a pretty good run from 2001 -2005...... as you say you`ve been watching for many a year you`ll be pretty aware of some lean years previously............ its just history repeating itself... take the good with the bad and move on...

Yes you`re entitled to your opinion as I am..... so we`ll agree to disagree.....Not too bothered what the majority opinion is as well, this could be diluted by folks trolling or

To tell the truth this is the bit that I think you will find annoys most fans like me and possibly Bart

We dont watch through rose tinted specs , we fully understand that things are not good and see that our performances are not of the acceptable quality

BUT the point is it is OUR team good or bad

Whinging and moaning will not help one iota

What is needed is the support of all the fans of the club , just as our neighbours did a couple of years ago in their hour of need

Constant attacks on the players , coaching staff and owners will not improve anything

Questions can be asked when our status as a Championship club has been secured

Till that time I will not overly critizise anybody at the club , once that point has passed , well that is another matter

The pies found themselves faced with what was, for them, an unthinkable prospect.

Leigh being relegated from this division is hardly that - a good deal of fans were predicting this as a genuine possibility at the start of the season - your good self included I think, starbug.

I can't see the fans flocking back because we've got the worst side in over a decade that are finally in the mire many saw coming.

There might be a handful more who turn up because there's a meaningful fixture but that's about it. There'll probably be more who'll stay away.

How much TV money do we stand to lose if we do go down?

Relegation kills the club, but is that a bad thing.
It will allow more new clubs into RL and put an end to our annual disappointments and let downs. East and Miners could fill the void, and Wire arent too far away for the odd game.

I'd start preparing your comments now as I reckon it may be quite long plus I reckon we will know within the next 5 games. We can discount the Donny game as all the candidates have still to play them, so will Gateshead and Batley win one more game than us in the run in.

They might and they might not

But I will be at every game left [ except possibly 1 ] cheering us on to make us win one more than them

Me neither to tell the truth , but hopefully the ones we do have will get behind the team

As the reaction to our little dillema will tell us more about us as a club and a RL supporting town than getting to a GF
