maybe just the history of hp that made it feel more like home plus cant be much fun for the players when they score a try in front of the south stand and look up and there is no one there cheering

lets not forget that when the LSV was asked why there was no Leigh Centurion signs/memorabilia the answer was that the club hadnt asked

I know that the LSV are not doing the best job - but neither are the club imho

facility quality - but whoever designed it needs to be shot - legislation says you can not have a beer and be able to see the pitch - they didnt do it - the bloody scaffolding is there which looks pretty bad

I still have the email from LSV stating that Leigh Centurions have not asked for the Hall of fame to be displayed!

Sorry Ste but if you hire one of my cars and ask can you go racing in it I'd say NO, or hired one of my properties and asked if you could have a 'rave' (ahh those were the days

) in it I'd say no (and you have to have clearance just to walk through the front doors of the LSV, its worse than Fort Knox. What Im getting at is the owner/landlord is king, I don't necessarily agree with not being allowed on the pitch to train but theres sod all they can do unless they pay and the rates those robber barons charge just try renting one of the 3g pitches for a couple of hours



and ask Mr C how much it costs East's to train on what should be their own ground, at least Dick Turpin wore a mask.

Guys, coming from a widnes fan you may or may not like this comment, but Hilton Park was a mess. One of the worst grouns I've ever been to.

Nostalgia is temporary. But what you've just moved in to is far better than that.

I for one think that the new stadium is fantastic. Well planned and set out, good vision of the pitch wherever you sit (or are allowed to sit). It's a ground to be proud of playing at and calling HOME.

But I am concerned about the management of the place - seems to be a lack of common sense and of any assistance to give LCRL a 'leg up the ladder' so to speak - surely a free hour or two per week to train on the pitch is not asking too much considering the potential revenue we COULD bring.

Not too bothered what they charge for 'refreshments' like hundreds of others I will not buy anything I consider too expensive.

Pre and post visits to Leigh East club house for bargain booze, atmosphere and good grub means I can stand / sit (great to have the choice) and watch the game without the need to be tempted to waste my hard earned cash! As said before LSV need to look around on match days and compare / compete

That only applies to football games, and has been enforced for LGFC matches.

Love the ground but it does need something that shouts out LEIGH CENTURIONS PLAY HERE

Definitely need a place to show off the memorabelia too, at the moment its just a fantastic ground that we rent it should say more than that lets hope the club will be able to sort something out like a sign that says THE HOME OF LEIGH CENTURIONS.

The LSV won't feel like 'home' for a while. We need a bit of history behind us there. People running the stadium need to listen to the fans too. Surely it makes sense to have a bar for fans to drink in before and after the game. The money they are losing by not providing this is criminal. Overall the stadium is fantastic but as with all things new there are things that need ironing out.

You mean there is nowt nostaligic about standing in other peoples pi55.

I love the ground

I get a great seat where i get a great view of the game,

I don't get 'weet thru' when it rains,

The clock on the scoreboard works,

I don't get pee on me shoes when I have a wazz,

I can hear the announcements on the tannoy,

There are no dark patches in floodlit games.

Etc... etc...

Stadium is great. Simple as..


Maybe the big screen could display the old scoreboard from HP for the ones with a bit of nostalgic memories.

What memorabelia? we did not have any at the last place. Just a few photos/pictures and I think they would have belonged to the past players association not Leigh Rugby.

Scoreboard clock

I hate sitting down, especially when it's freezing. Plus being charged the pleasure and killing the atmosphere all the same time.

Ok but what about all those plaques people paid for ,did they give them back plus im sure some fans have some memorabelia that they would gladly have on display.

It was in the paper and on the web about those name plates. They were taken down and could be collected from the old office.

If anybody still wants their old ' brick ' , I still have most of them , but I will not be keeping them much longer

This is just another example of what's wrong - wouldn't you have thought that someone could have made arrangements to have the 'bricks' displayed on a type of memorial wall?

If you don't want to keep them Starbug, I'll keep them just in case they ever decide to use them in future.

You cant build an extension with them M

Ah well you can keep them then!





Seriously don't throw them away or anything, when you want to get rid, PM me and I'll arrange to pick them up.

Perhaps that "someone" could have been you if you cared so much?

Yeah cos I own LSV and make all the decisions - idiot!
