Correct. sad truth is that we can have the best stadium in the World, but we also have to do something on the pitch, (as well as many other things) to qualify for an application. |

Widnes will not take a good following to Leigh, lucky to get 100 from us.
And im serious, our season has already ended.

You need to think back to the season you won your last Grand Final. At a similar stage in that season you had had a poor start and we won the league title comfortably.
Counted for nothing when those playoffs were over.
Keep your chin up. |

I am aware that you were talking about Danny Lockwood. It is his paper I have stopped buying. However, you are quite right, they all sing from the same hymn sheet. That is why I referred to Sky TV etc. Of course Leigh should have to perform on the pitch, but you cannot argue that a few years ago, when all this franchise talk came about, grounds were not a huge part of it, but now, amazingly they are not. What a coincidence!!! To me, performance should have always been key to promotion, but they changed this and put a large emphasis on stadia. Isn't it funny that since Leigh got theirs, this has changed. It is a very poor sport in that respect and really lets itself down. This is one of the reasons it will never spread effectively.

Indeed in 2006, April/May Widnes conceded over 50 points in each game, home and away to Leigh.
Who reached the Grand Final that year v HUll KR - WIDNES not us. |

True enough but I was talking about the season when we lost at home to Oldham in the playoffs then Widnes in the semi. 
I think Turk was as p.d off as the rest of us. |

We lost 2 that year.
Rochdale gave us one hell of a thumping 30-4 I think! 
The other was Doncaster |

| Quote etoile1="etoile1"Maybe I am being too cynical on your behalf, but I really do think that it is more than just a coincidence that, all of a sudden fantastic new stadia are not everything. Surely you have noticed this shift since Leigh moved into a superb new stadium. Every week on Boots and All, we are reminded now that modern stadia are not all that they are cracked up to be. What a joke. For years, Leigh were belittled and sneered at in the rugby press and on TV, due to Hilton Park. Now that you have a brilliant new stadium, I am constantly hearing what great atmospheres can be created on iconic little grounds such as the Jungle. Completely out of order if you ask me and just about sums up League Weekly, Sky Sports , the RFL etc. The person you are referring to in League Weekly always has a huge dig at Leigh when they are on Sky for one reason or another. In fact, his match summaries often cheapen the sport, no matter who has played. I have now stopped buying the publication because of him. Why can Rugby League people in positions such as him, not show more dignity and class. Why does everything have to involve knocking stuff that they know is quality? If Salford, Celtic and Cas had such wonderful facilities, I for one feel that we would never hear the end of it. This pathetic and childish bias really saddens me.'"
Yep!
Strange isn't it?
It tells you everything about what this [i'sport'[/i has become. |
