Not wishful thinking at all, or sour grapes just a realistic view of the amount of money being spent on signings and wondering if it can be sustained.

Nobody could deny that our crowds were poor last season.

Leigh have mow signed a player from Catalan, they must be up to their newly negotiated higher cap, funny one month ago we were refused extra cap for accommodation cost differences? in London and North.

Jaybs was not me that brought up Leigh I was just commenting on someone else's post and suggestion that it was sour grapes on our part far from it. In reality comparing our crowd numbers the last couple of years actually has no meaning as we didn't get the gate receipts from Barnet. I suppose that means we were not liable for any tax on the gate receipts so should not fall foul there.
The alarm bells do ring a little bit when you see the signings that Leigh have made and the salary cap increase, personally I hope they are stable, I don't want to see any club in difficulties

Started off poor by the end they were virtually non-existent.

Quite a lot, if you want ensure financial viability of a club.

Ah, the peddling of the great lie. Unless you're on here, slagging the club off at every available opportunity (without suggesting any concrete alternative) you're blinkered to the Club's plight.

Complete and utter rubbish.

Is it a Great Lie though?

There was a time (not that long ago) when jaybs was the lone voice of apology.

Now it's like a chorus where David Hughes is given a virtual Get out of Jail free card because he puts a team out on the park.

Literally in his case.
