I watch Coronation St as well, so spill.

I quite like that we have an owner & director so approachable by the fans, I like that he's a bit of a character and enjoys some of the banter & fun that makes RL such a great sport to be a fan of. His commitment to the club in terms of finances, time, work & the success he's brought is unquestionable. However some people seem unable to tell the difference when he's being serious, when he's hyping up the club and when he's making a joke and so without actually reading what he has to say just assume he's the devil incarnate & can only slag him off. Case in point:

When did he make a dig at Batley?

However I do sometimes wish he didn't always have to have the last word. He absolutely loves the club & is a die hard passionate fan first & foremost. It must annoy him even more than it annoys us when people make up lies and rubbish about Leigh & he's never been one to let something go unchallenged, people with nothing better to do know this & deliberately try to get a response so they can slag him off some more. Do think sometimes he should just shrug some things off, laugh at the trolls, ignore them and focus his attention on all the fans that like him support Leigh Centurions RLFC & just want to enjoy being a part of what's being done at the club.

All this over a bloody statue!

Exactly

I can't believe the dross on the banter page and on here that seems to be being posted and at the moment we seem to be making all other clubs hate us .
I sometimes wonder what we all used to do before fans forums and message boards



Tap room gossip .....

Focussed on hating Wigan and Leeds.

It's only now that niche interests like hating Leigh have come to flourish.

Storm in a teacup.

King Degsy's outbursts on Facebook are Legendary, the man is a true Koukash wannabe,about 400 million in difference ,I love reading his rants and raves at you Leighers,then telling you all what good deeds he is doing,he could be the Bob Geldof of Rugby League.

Link please?

Mick you Yorkshire folk dont half go on about Derek... is there anything to write about your beloved Fax....

he's a colourful character that can't keep his gob shut. He says, writes and behaves in a manner that is only going to attract attention. Maybe that is intention? I don't know?
It isn't geographically isolated to yorks. I have mates from the dark side who assume "shakes head" mode re Delbert.
I suppose unless he changes his media use or assumes a much quieter profile, public comment on his diatribe is likely to continue

Robin we in Yorkshire all know what Derek says goes and it will be very interesting on Sunday, imagine what will happen if Leigh lose,you won't be able to get near the Canal for Leighers,throwing themselves in.Charlie the Clowns bet will look pretty fragile,I love it.

As we learnt last year Mick, its winning and losing in August/September that counts....

Providing that we win enough games in February to August, to be still playing in September, of course!

The filth and abuse being directed at DB on FB following thea test loverugbyleague article is shocking. In all my years in Rugby league I have never seen this sort of abuse and behaviour from opossing fans. It's no wonder Dan reacts sometimes. I would also advise him to ban all correspondents from that publication from the LSV.

I haven't read anything else from him so i`m not too sure what most are referring to on this thread.

I did find his comment about your away following funding the whole Batley teams wages (Or something along those lines) particularly disrespectful, I just don't think there is any need for it at that level. If our chairman come out with something like that I would feel a little embarrassed.

I think he was trying to make the point about a good away following being good for other clubs, and tried to quantify it to give context. Trouble is, it came across as patronising and was pretty much irrelevant to the post as well.

It was simply stating a % of the Batley players would be funded by the Leigh following, not speculation just pure fact. Jog on with your complaints...

Ahhhhhh Facebook the bane of all neanderthals lives, it used to be never let your left hand know what your right hand is doing.I'm on my way to Sheffield very soon, ready to watch RMS boys whup the Seagulls, we at Fax have harmony at our great Club, don't you wish you had?

Wow, you actually attend matches thats a step up from some of your twitter fax gang... enjoy the game i hope you win

No complaints from me Mr Tripster, it's always good reading whatever you post about Mr Beaumont, I know you will always give an unbiased opinion





and will deliver us from evil.

We at Leigh have harmony come match day Tel,when all the family comes together as one.

Why thank you Mr Steven

I miss very few Fax games and am looking forward to tonight as it will give us a true reflection of where we are and how far we have progressed under Richard, it's a pity Mr Marshall isn't available to be lured away I feel he is a cert to be Coach of the year.As for Twitter?I'm not on this , so I don't know what my fellow Fax fans are writing, can you buy Vinyl on Twitter?

Good Evening Mr Atomic ,I have this about all the Leigh families coming together as one

is that Legal?Or healthy?Anyway I can't read to many of your posts as I'm driving very shortly.I hope you beat Oldham on Sunday,it's a pity we have a Jagger family get together, as I would have attended for drinks with the Tripster.

Total bollox Steve and you know it. A pathetic statement that the traveling fans of Leigh will have funded 25% of batleys wages is a dig and a DB throwing his teddy out of his pram. The same pathetic statement could be said about any traveling fan to any away ground. Therefore I will be funding a percentage of the Leigh teams salary this year!!. FACT.

He could have shown his class and been dignified in defeat. Instead, he showed what many already think. Arrogant and misguided.
