what.sale relocating to a town full of flatcappers and whippets your avin a larff

This could surely benefit both rugby codes in Leigh if it were to happen.

Lets just get shut of Wendy ball altogether at the Stadium, its unsightly.

If you think football damages the pitch Dave, wait and see what 8 months of rucks and mauls in the rain does.

do Leigh Centurions have a 12.5% stake in the Stadium ?

I'm not on about the pitch, i'm on about wendy ball being crap!

Well we all know they'll be sharing at Salford's new ground very soon.



I can't see Sale playing at the LSV either.

It would certainly suit Salford to be in bed with Sale over the new stadium. If they were to play in the same brand new stadium I think you could see the first 3G pitch used in SL and RU.

What and rugby union isn't. The fact of the matter is, Leigh Genesis whether people like them, support them or whatever are a part of our town and the LSV should be working by their side and trying to help them reach their potential as a club but the LSV are only interested in £££££ and forcing anyone out who aren't meeting thier standards finanically. They (LSV) are greedy pigs and we don't need them in our town ruining our clubs, they nearly did it with Leigh East and it looks like they are succeeding doing it with Genesis.

Well I am not a big footie fan but Sale's treatment of Stockport County would suggest that any RL club would be very unwise to share a stadium with them.

I also understood that the LSV was for the benefit of Leigh's sporting clubs and to that end I feel very aggrieved for Genesis.

Me to Frank.

As far as I know we were promised a community village, all the clubs bought into this concept. They brought whatever they could to the table, in return they became Partners and they were allocated certain rights, be it % shares, rights play at the stadium, pay x amount in rent, run the pavilion, etc.

The way I see it LSV Co. job is to sell the spaces not allocated to the Partners, not to kick them out. I don’t mind Saints/ Sale/ Chelsea or whomever training on the 3g Tuesday afternoon (assuming its empty then?), but if someone said the College couldn’t play their game on Wednesday afternoon because of one of these, I’d be truly P’d off.

I go watching Blackburn Reserves there but I don’t think that should be at the expensive of Genesis.

Maybe it time the Partners got themselves together and reminded LSV Co, who they actually work for?

Alan I can`t see LSV being of the same opinion. My source tells me that Centurions pay 10% thats approx £4k in revenue.based on the figures he gave me, Last seasons average of 1750 would have generated approx £1900 per fixture x 13 approx £25k, he also says that Blackburn Rovers pay around £5K for the use of the stadium per fixture. If these figures are factual then it doesn't make good reading.

Sorry to hear about the problems of Genesis. I normally go at least 2 games a season but not been since the move - just not got round to it.
Can Genesis not link up with one of the big clubs in some way, as a feeder club or something?

Wasn't it agreed when the initial contracts were signed that both Leigh Centurions and Leigh RMI (as they were then known) would be allowed to play at the new stadium in return for the sale of Hilton Park to part fund it? Surely it was and if it wasn't then why the hell did they sign the agreement?

No as Grundy Hill backed out of the agreement.

Who do you reckon the other will be Keith? I have whittled it down to three.

I would put Saints in front spot. Only for the fact that their fans would probably easily travel to us.

Saints have to be in top spot because of this season being their last at Knowsley Road and no sign of the new ground. And they'd near the top spot in the LSV's minds as well, even if they don't fancy matching Blackburn's £5k a game.

Do they still train here?

Leigh Saints. Centurion Saints. Sainturions. Take your pick

Leigh Sainturions. Like it.

Are the people who changed the name to Genesis still involved there? Maybe they should look at moving out of the town or back to Horwich. They've struggled for support in Leigh for years sadly.

The ground can only hold just over 12.000 this wouldn't be big enough for Stains.

Well Saints did not have many crowds over 12000 last season Dave oh and in reply to another post on this thread our average last season was around the 2000 mark not 1750. Re the last point though still poor.

I beg your pardon?!?
