nfp ??





where have you been the last few years?

at least you dont get wet when its persisting down!

I would say the Russians have got worse , they looked very much like Union players in build

Apparently thier competition isn't very competitive as it once was

As for the crowd , back in 2003 it was the first game under the new ' consortium ' and our first against such ' exotic ' opponents , maybe if we had played a French team on sunday a few more would have been interested

And got to say it was bloody cold , I have worn a circle on the North stand terracing trying to keep circulation in my legs and did consider for the first time ever leaving early to go to Easts for a ' warm ' beer

How would you know that if theres no atmosphere or not if you dont go to the place. The LSV ground has only been open a few months, give it a chance. Why not try getting behind the club instead of slagging them off? Either that or go and watch W***n, theyve got a ground full of moaning buggers like you.

Going off thread a bit, I see the Miners is advertising on the bypass near the roundabout for pre match drinks and food. There seems to be a bit of competition building for this trade.

well if the fans stay away like you have how can there be an atmosphere?

there was an atmosphere at the haven game but you probably missed that one as well

There was an atmosphere when their lad went slicing through our defence. Everyone was cheering.

that moaning bugger has bought a season ticket,,,he is supporting the club

As there should be - LSV don't seem to care either way, so the trade is up for grabs - good luck to whoever grabs the chance I say!

Except from LSV who are charging to go into a bar when all around Leigh, bars are shutting down.

I didn't say they were bad I just said it's nice not to have to rely on them. We've had some excellent overseas players like Adam who did an excellent job for Leigh and I welcome future imports. All I was saying was that it's nice that local lads are being given a chance and local talents are now playing for Leigh instead of going to other clubs. That is what I'm congratulating Neil on not performances on the pitch although to be honest I'm happy with that too. Hopefully we can crack on and have a great season.

It seems a bit stupid doesnt it, the interested parties need to have a chat and create an environment that folk want to feel part of again.

Agreed Mo, its one thing providing a great stadium, its another providing a great home.

That said, the atmosphere at HP has been dire for a couple of years.

We need a supporters bar where the young fans can meet their heros after the game.

We need a bar and also some tables etc outside in summer.

We need face painting for the kids outside the ground.

Maybe a bouncy castle somewhere.

And wait for this a lot of the people who I go to the games with, leave before Half time as thats as long as they can last without a cigerette, I know the guests in the coporate are allowed outside to smoke, so why isnt there somewhere these lot can go. I kid you not about them leaving early.

They'd save a fortune in 'toilet attendants' watching for folk going in there for a crafty smoke. If I saw a boke in an orange jacket loitering around any other public toilet, I'd be ringing the bobbies.

Its not going to happen though. Too many obsticles and too much like hard work.

LSV have defo shot them selves in the foot with this one

I agree totaly. I am against smoking in enclosed public places and wouldn't like someone sat next to me smoking, but the way smokers are being treated is surely against some sort of rights. What gets me about the whole smoking thing is that you see people who are keep fitters running by the side of congested roads expanding their lungs to the max, inhaling some of the most toxic fumes known to man. How can running through a city centre be good for your health.
The coroners report would read."This lad had a cracking heart but his lungs are knackered. Must have been passive smoking".

How do these smokers manage to sleep or get any work done?

I'm a smoker, and it hasn't been an issue to me so far. Have a fag just before going in - and spark up again as I exit the ground.

If someone can't manage a couple of hours between tabs, they are going to have serious issues. That 2-3 hour flight to your favourite destination in the Med is gonna be a bugger!!


If someone would sooner go and spark up at half time, than watch a nail-biter like the 'haven match, then more fool them!!
Take some bluddy chewing gum, or get a patch FFS!!

I smoked for a 15 years and found it quite easy to work around my smoking, i was just concered when the work got in the way

Hmmmm, nicotine bottled water......

Won’t it be difficult to light?

Nicotine in Marmite bottles so it could be spread on bread

That will be £3 thankyou sir.
