Why Friday? Is there a Black Friday event at the market stall? Surely if the criteria of the ban has been met it would be revoked immediately.

Well let’s wait and see atomic I really hope I’m right just to really get on your nerves

Some good names to be announced soon, very surprised at the quality to be honest and a few from out of nowhere. Actually starting to believe we have a chance of being up there.

At least one player has been confirmed for next season, Micky Higham !

From John's statement on re-joining Leigh:-

"At the minute we are trying to rebuild the Club and to do that we are going to concentrate on local players. Leigh lads who’ve played for the Club before and who are coming home, Leigh lads who have always wanted to play for Leigh and lads who want to come and play for me.

I’ve been part of teams like that in the past where everyone is local and on the same kind of money and you can build a fantastic team spirit.

It’s a one in a million experience being at Leigh and playing for the Club and those fans grabs you and you can’t let go of it."

I'm delighted at the initial focus on local players. Not necessarily because Leythers are the best, but because they should have a strong pride in the club and a desire to do well for their team. I believe a lot of that passion for the club/town has been missing from recent squads. Bring it on!

“This is a local club for local people” - get Tubbs in to do a promo for Leigh.

Always thought that as a part time team anything further than 25 miles is just daft , there are more than enough players within that radius

Great news are you visiting Leigh ?

I am. Will be staying with my Mum in Pennington for most of the time (2 weeks). Goes to show that kids never really move out
