I think it's more that there arms were so tired from all the clapping and cheering, they just wedged the straws in the gaps in their teeth and sat back

Don't blame the lsv for the poor performance of the club - when leigh recently beat widnes at the lsv the posts where very different.
The franchise system is the biggest cause - taking away the clubs ability to challenge for sl is the problem for me.
But to think the lsv is the root of leighs problems is wrong in my opinion. They have a facility but a business run by amateurs and volunteers.

There is no doubt as a club we are underperforming both on and off the pitch , but also the total lack of reality of the LSV management is not helping things

They have been hampered by some incredibly bad planning and building decisions but unless things start to change in a big way the sustainability of both the club and the LSV will be in doubt

All are to blame and all need to look to work together to rectify things

But I somehow doubt it will happen , possibly pride and an ill concieved self importance will get in the way

Given the numer of wages at the stadium , the security costs [ I notice that the corners where the turnstyles are have now been fitted with roller shutters ] and the lack of virtually any office tennants , something in the region of 3/4 s of a million a year I would guess

I would counter that argument by saying the LSV is run either by amatuers or idiots

It would seem every suggestion made to the LSV is met with a negative response

Might as well shut the place now for me
