I treat each game as I see it. If they deserve clapping off I will, last night they didn't. Most of the season we have and my hands and voice were sore for days after Blackpool. As said before, I paid my money and its my choice. I left just before the hooter. One thing I don't do and never ever will though is boo the players. Great season, disappointing end. Now lets hope we can sort things financially over the coming months. Widnes did it, I'm sure we can.

Had we had a average and disappointing season, and last game was against better opposition and won, no doubt more would have stayed behind. That's what sports fans do - short memories. Each to their own.
Personally unless the team has won a trophy or had a special season I don't think the players should make a last game of season thanks apart from the usual after the game applauds for support.

Some emotional posts on here, some aimed at the wrong direction, and some not.

Should not be any slanging matches. We need some soliderity now, because any true fan wil know that there is a distinct possibility that we will become whipping boys next season.

The ref was not too bad but he got some decisions wrong.

1 - He was right to penalise Hill for what was a stupid lazy flop. Problem is, Henderson did this most of the game and it went unpenalised. Once the tackle is made, just one hand justifies a flop !

2 - Linesman bottle it on Yere's tackle on Donlan. A fair, hard justified hit turned into a spear tackle. He should have walked !!

Problem is, we didn't go for 2 points to square it at 8-8, lose the plot, and Yere supplies the break and pass 10 mins later for Sheffield to break our hearts !!

You knew then that it was not going to be Leighs day.!!

The booing was aimed at the ref and not the players

Not where I was stood it wasn't

I recall big league and play off gates v Widnes, Salford, Oldham, Hudds and others during that time, great CC crowds v Salford and Wigan plus a magnificent away turn out at Wire.
I recall the 2004 disaster and the 2005 debacle that followed - we never recovered from that, we were clueless and gripped with infighting.
We need a new dawn and a new unity, 1000 fans paying £20 a month for season ticket/shirt will see us right in 2012. We need every passionate and proud Leyther behind keeping this club alive - we have no time for division.

At least they were consistant last night then, conspicuous by their absence!

Are these the ones that couldn't be bothered applauding the players for their seasons efforts last night ?

So what?? Players come and go - fans remain!! I can't believe you're dishing abuse to your own fans, hell i'd be absolutely gutted if we'd lost at home in a play off semi.

I thought with it being the last game more would have stayed, to say goodbye to the ones leaving and to say thanks for all the good times, Im sure if Sheffield had lost , their fans would have stayed and clapped the efforts of their team.

I think all that was done after the Toulouse game.

Yes they are , dont forget , your RL club is for life , not just Xmas

And as ' gutted ' as they feel you still thank the players for their endeours through what has been an entertaining season

I wonder if the Gateshead fans all left before the end of their last game of the season ?

You and me both know it doesn't work like that Matt , last game is last game , no matter where it is

Did we all say goodbye to Hilton Park after the league game against Whitehaven or the play-off game?

I really can't believe some of the tripe spouted on here.

I left with 90 seconds to go - in your eyes that makes me less than you.

However I had my 10 year old nephew with me who I had to drop off in Bickershaw (he is in school today) before driving home to Appley Bridge so that my son could catch a train to join his friends in Manchester. What did you have to get back to?

I paid £48 quid for the tickets last night and over the years have spent tens of thousands sponsoring, investing in and supporting the various guises of Leigh RL.

I also played the game for many years and have the creaking joints to show for it so I know what it takes to pull on a shirt and take the field.

So don't criticise me when you don't know me.

You are not the only person who has put their money where their mouth is so stop behaving like it.

Steve, I really dont get your point here, the 1800 or whatever fans in the ground are the real fans. The ones who pay to watch, the ones in the pub or at home by choice are the ones sending the club into oblivion.
I nearly went with 5 or so to go but decided to stay and say goodbye, I do not blame anyone who paid and left early.

As much as we were disappointed, angry at the person in the middle, let down, and gutted we stayed to clap them off BUT I do understand those that chose not to stay and clap also as for booing i'm sure it was aimed at the ref for his ability to ignore the constant off side from Sheffield from start to finish ,I was convinced Millward would have pointed this out to players and so expected them to move off the line quicker but they didn't .

If we had been winning , would you have stayed ?

What does that have to do with anything?

Why don't you just accept that you have been wrong in your critical statements?

I object to the sanctimonious twaddle written by some people on here - I pay my money and have the perfect right to choose when I leave, irrespective of what the result is.

Don't judge me - I would award you the same courtesy.

The last thing we want now is a witch-hunt - Leyther against Leyther, or Leyther against the team. The vast majority of those who went last night are true fans - i.e. they turned up to watch.

Whether they leave early or not is up to the individuals - at least they turned up in the first place, where many didn't. (for whatever personal reasons)

We're all gutted, but right now there are more important things to focus on, like starting the battle to get our club back on its feet.

1,800 -2,000 fans, all pulling together, can make a heck of a difference.

I left with 5mins to go im a season ticket holder lisa member and lotto member i buy half time draw tickets every match and travel away most matches if i choose to leave thats up to me i was very very very disappointed with the result and the way the team played last nite and i could,nt take anymore
so i left so what Steve does that make me a life long fan since 1963 a scumbag or something similar


go and see your Therapist Steve the couch is getting cold

, as I said the strength of a club is measured in the loyalty of it's fans , not it's bank balance , and last night showed us how strong a club we have

Steve, you need to let this go. I saw how emotional you were last night and read your comments after last week. The fans who paid last night should not be your target, your morals/opinions of what is expected of a fan are just that, let others have theirs.

As they all keep telling me Neil

Yer pays yer money , well I paid mine as well , so I'll have my say as well , I heard enough rubbish being spouted last night during that match to fill Plank Lane tip
