As a fellow Leigh supporter I find that embarrassing, I would be delighted to play at London in the MPG.

Sadly thats the bitter underlying tone that comes out of a number of Leigh posters. Its all about the crowd. We all know London don't have great crowds and didn't in SL. If league status was based on crowds of course London wouldn't be anywhere near the top.
At the end of last season London let 2 of its better players go to rivals (Barthau and Ackers) whist bringing one player in plus promoting kids from the development squads. Its living to your means and Wardy has done a good job with what he has available.
Leigh have lost to a 14 man squad, Batley ....in recent times not forgetting missing out on the top 4 and now they are in a financial pickle but have decent crowds. Looking in the mirror sometimes isn't a bad option.
