I see my prediction from 26th April came true

Having said that, the kids are not off school although I know of one School in Westleigh who have been asked to send a class to the LSV and one of the Year 6 classes has been selected.

Hope they enjoy the day, but Billy Boston

Whats wrong with Shandy Bass instead

Now whilst Boston is a RL legend and slating a man of such stature would be ignorant, but he has as much to do with Leigh as Billy Butlin does.

I'd sooner have the Elaine the Buttylass who for 3 years fed the lads who built the village.

That is an absolute disgrace and an insult to the entire town. Now the Queen wouldn't know the difference between Billy Boston and Billy Whizz, but thats not the point - what on earth does Billy Boston have to do with Leigh, or the stadium?

If any Leigh fans are allowed in they should boo the man on sight - if he had any decency he would decline the invitation.

Does anyone have an email address for W***n council to complain to?

Statements like this are a disgrace to Leigh RL.

Billy Boston is one of the finest rugby players ever to grace the game and a true gentleman as well.

It is not his fault that you are peeved that he has been asked to attend and to suggest booing him is ridiculous. It is an honour for him and his family and there is no way he should be expected to turn it down.

Grow up

Billy is also a good mate of AT's and I have seen him often at HP, so nothing against a true RL legend please.
It is typical Wigan council though, I trust Woody was invited to the JJB shindig

this is not personal against bb just that he has never had anything to do with our club and the honour should have gone to someone who has this is
wigan concil stickin there noses in and showin us that this is not LRLFC would never happen at jjb
