Having a Chairman who has put an incredible amount of money into the club and countless millions from Sky,probably does help Warrington be "better run than our club", but don't look down your nose at us,the Town,the club and the fans don't deserve that.
Fans like you who can only see SL are whats wrong with RL at present and why I for one have no time at all for SL either watching it on TV or reading about it.I'll always support my club no matter which league we are in and thats all I care about.'"
Your originality astounds me.
Our club doesn't owe the chairman a fortune, there is a debt there which one day will probably be recovered but it isn't a fortune.
Your fans are thee most bitter out there so yes, they do deserve that.

| Dico,as you obviously hate Leigh so much,I'm sure you will let us know about it on Sunday,we all like a good debate in Leigh so please don't be shy just come to any pub in the Town and vent your spleen, you might feel better and as we are all old codgers you will have nothing to worry about.
Or are you just a keyboard hero who would,nt say boo to a goose away from his screen,I think you probably are.

Yes sir.
Although hardly a keyboard warrior, I haven't exactly made any threats to anyone.
Just described Leigh to a tee and it's fans: all 4 of them
Quote you are a n0b ed Dico'"
Case in point, the typical Leyther.
Uneducated and adds nothing to a discussion.

| Oh I knoww, i'm just having a bit of banter.
Though the majority of Leigh fans I come across both on here and in person are very bitter for some reason regarding the SL, as if they have some divine right to be there when instead of creating a better run organisation are falling behind multiple other clubs. The average Leigh fan does seem to be Longer in the tooth and with it well out of date with modern rugby principles (in maaah daaaay) and i'm unaware as to why you don't get the youth through the doors?
Even the most loving of your town leyther has to admit it's a small dump, there's no real shopping network in your town centre.
I discussed. If any of you older gents would like to discuss further i'll be in your wetherspoons on sunday from about lunchtime onwards

You mean me , but it shows your ignorance of the issues that I have for several years been suggesting that Leigh are not ready for SL and I dont want them to enter SL until they are ready
But what I do want is strong sustainable tiers below SL where all clubs are treated with respect by the RFL , basically you havent a clue what you are talking about , Make sure you take your false ID on sunday , it wouldn't be very cool to be refused a beer

| Quote ="Dico"We took more to Wembley than exists in your 'village'.
We certainly aren't the biggest club around but by god we're a hell of a lot better run than you are. The town of Leigh is and always will be too small, it's no disgrace that you've been left behind just one of those things. If you wanted to be a SL club you've had your chances and you've blown it, 05 was a joke'"
True our 05 season was a joke bottom with a average of 5k on which wasn't that far behind the mighty wire
Seems we had a bigger average than a few that year but don't let facts get in the way of a good rant
But I suppose only having one joke season is better than having 25-30 joke season which warrington to there credit do very well...
But I loved your reply of your not in debt but you are and it doesn't matter because you will repay it one day classic,which day will that be
No doubt you'll be back on sunday night crowing how you won well with your multi million pound funded team compared to our 100k one
But what if you didn't win so well

Sorry its not just banter, its insulting. Matt if you have any money left over from the latest flag, maybe we could use it to get a 15 foot banner....oh I don't know....maybe "DICO IS A ......"
Just a bit of banter you understand, I'm sure you can take it as such Dico

Of course you had a higher attendance than a few, what must be asked though is do you bring more to the table than those other teams. The franchise application would suggest not.
25-30 joke seasons? Your fans would love as many 'joke' seasons as us, never been relegated and has stood us in good stead for the future. You're talking daft.
I full expect us to win by 30 on sunday, if we didn't i'd chalk it up as a good performance by Leigh.
Quote You mean me '"
Again Buggy, no I don't mean you at all.
You have fair views, I don't necessarily agree with them but you put them across fairly and have a point in most cases

| What do you know of our franchise application? If its from the Dick Lewis interview on Granada reports then you know nothing. I think he stated we had no youth development compared to Celtic....absolutely laughable.
Remember this...and Widnes suffered too....the contents of our franchise applications were completely ignored.

The Murphy one is half-completed at the moment, hoping we'll have it in time for the Humbles game but not sure. Rest will be out for the Wire game and will probably be at the front of the North Stand (can't be bothered with the hassle of getting 'clearance' to put them in the East).

I didn't say I knew anything.
If you were the best application then you would have got the gig.
You didn't. I thought the RFLs comments on the matter on their website seemed fair enough.
If over the next few years you got 3000 down to the LSV, and competed well as you've a fairly British side, great facilities you'd stand a much better chance. Lets be honest Wakefield and Salford will be gone and the Crusaders are hanging on a thread

The RFL wanted to expand rugby league so that's why Celtic in your words "got the gig" not because they had a better franchise than us or widnes!

I'd love to claim the credit, but it was a group effort by many on here contributing ideas, and the final design being completed by [size=50a Wigan fan.[/size Hoping it'll look even better in the flesh (or is that cotton?)

A franchise is what you can offer the competition.
Many at the time would have agreed Celtic had the potential to offer much, they still might but yes, in hindsight now it does look a mistake.
We will see but in your opinion what would Leigh have offered different? What would they have brought to the table that Salford, Warrington, Saints or Wigan in this small area don't already?
