we go camping up there pal, Red Bank Farm

I can see you becoming an 'ex-pat' like me, Fred ....

It might sound foreign, but at least he'll be staying in England

I'm no Genesis fan but the handling of that club by the council and the LSV is a utter utter disgrace.
I would hope the people of Leigh actually told there local councillers just what they think of this, I would be certainly asking them if they actively helped in trying to save the club or if the towns MP was involved in trying to save them from being thrown out of the LSV.

We may think Genesis going under will have no effect on us whatsoever, however with so many juniors now without a focal point / club they will find something else to do.
That could be the usual vandalism, drugs or lawlessness which a lot of youngsters now see as a solution, this inevitably leads to a spiral of costs to the Taxpayer and a unsafe enviroment for many to live and work.

Ironically after Englands national team gets hammered at whatever sport we are playing we will have the various governemnt and independent enquiries into what 'went wrong' and why we are not producing enough quality players from Junior age upwards.

Pure madness

Good point, isn' it, look you, Bach ....

Sorry to hear about Genesis. I remember going to the LISA meeting in the Mick Martyn bar before we moved when LSV rep (Simon Toone was it?) painted a exciting new future for both football and rugby clubs. Now with the towns football club is gone.
