Athy Colls or LR would be a disaster, a start but a very bleak start, I would expect only 1,000 of the most hardened supporters to survive that move !

Edit * I would rather share with Miners & let WMBC swing *

Agreed 100%!

Just think of the taxi fares Ste.

It has ben established that LSV have previously only charged the club for match stewarding during previous times of financial hardship, especially after Arthur left, basically playing rent free.

LSV and Mr Toone are aware that the club is in a very precarious financial position again and understand the importance of this town's Rugby League team remaining in it as its anchor tennants, ie it is ultimately used for what it was built for. Leigh RL

The CEO confirmed that there has been interest. He believes the business is salable. However its current liabilities , including a law suit against the club issued due to the the MPG aftermath is proving a risk to investors. Even if the club believes its case is water tight.

Hope that's not from the same person that thought Jamie Acton had grounds for appeal last year.

Or that persuaded McNally to plead guilty to shoving the ref at Salford!

Well the Club and the RFL believe their case is water tight.

It would be a concern to some potential new investors if not to all parties

On the subject of potential new investors , a multi millionaires lovely nice Jaguar has been parked up outside the LSV this week. It may or may not add credence to 'Atomics' interesting posts regarding the club and stadium purchase.

I thought I would just throw that in here.

God forbid it were to happen but if we were to move out of LSV we’d possibly never return and become the next Swinton playing here there and everywhere, with forever dwindling crowds.

As for the ‘water tight’ case it may be in the contracts, written in the RFL rules etc but the problem as I see it, is unless there is a precedent then there’s no such a thing, it was the same in football prior to the Bosman ruling.

Lets hope the Jaguar driver doesn’t get a parking ticket.

Very, very true, all of it !

I hear this is not to far from the truth

Hope this is untrue. We need to stay at LSV this is our home! If true DB has left us in a poorer position than when he got involved and all the money put in has been wasted. What about the custodianship that DB has spoken about? If this happens his legacy will the mess he left us on not the great teams and achievements we have had over the past years.

That echoes my thoughts exactly. However, I would be surprised if our current owner would want to be remembered for such a disaster!

The trouble is we don't know what is going on and rumours are just that. Would be good if LSV could reassure us as to any future tenancy, but suppose they are still salivating over the Utd Women attendance.

The LSV do what ?

Reassure us over what ? , they do want us yes , but they will also charge whatever they want to given our circumstances at any given time

Would ' they ' sit down and look at ways they could help us either reduce costs or increase our fan base ? , doubtful

As I've said , worst case scenario and we ended up in League 1 , no point playing at the LSV

The LSV was built for us as a replacement for Hilton Park. Whatever league we are in we are at n we should play at the LSV... have Bradford moved from Odsal, no because it is their home. If we are forced out of the LSV it is not fulfilling its responsibility to the town and should be boycotted.

Blimmin well said L14.

Define ' forced out ' ?

How about:- 'Given no option, other than to leave, as a result of an unreasonable rental charging mechanism?'

I thought Leigh RL club had an 11% stake in the LSV ?

Unreasonable to who ?

Us ?

Or Wigan council ?

The council Tax payers of Leigh/Wigan ?

Yes , but 11 isn't a majority

That situation would simply never be allowed to happen. If that was the case, we would have been 'forced' out when Arthur left. A deal was struck then for the club to contribute towards stewarding only. That is a fact.

Does anyone really believe the LSV are in a position where they would happily price Leigh RL out of the facility that was only built because of Leigh RL in the first place.

As it happens we pay less to the LSV than other clubs pay for similar facilities and any newly formed Leigh RL club in League 1, would pay a very favourable rate accordingly no doubt about that.

The nature of the LSV structure is a relationship will always need to be managed,but it is in both parties interests to have Leigh RL as anchor tenants at LSV, irrespective of its financial situation. Let's be clear about that.

It strikes me that there is a lot of scare mongering taking place within this thread by people who are historically or well renowned to be anti LSV.. IMHO.

Let's wait and see where we kick off next season and discuss it all then ?
