I heard today that only Doncaster will be relegated , Dont know the reason why, was just wondering if anyone else had also heard this .

Keeps cropping up this.

I want us to stay up on merit.

I would say thank you very much. Said it b4 that it was stupid relegating 2 teams from 10 clubs. Its been a good competitive league this season from top to bottom apart from Doncaster. I don't subscribe to "its given us an interest" upto now, because 3 going down would also have done that - don't mean its fair tho.


Tho would be good to finish outside bottom 2.

I ve also heard this but unless it anounced offically Im taking it that if we finish next to bottom we are going down
Unless Gateshead finish next to bottom I cant see them changing it, unless they are having 12 in next year, and for obvious reasons like spoiling the playoffs they cant say aanything yet.

Quite a few people have heard this rumour would like to know where it started

It could have legs so to speak as 11 teams has'nt worked out very well really with 2 from 10 of us sent packing,anybody in Yorkshire heard the same rumour or is it just us Leythers clutching at straws

I think most Leythers would prefer us to stay up on merit but the effort put in by our players on Sunday and our previous two games gives me hope.

The Championship 1 GF would be dissppointing for the winners however. but in my opinion, I,d rather the two leagues were amalgamated as I have suggested before to give all clubs more league games and much needed revenue.

I don't care how we stay up although like everyone else I'd like it to be on merit.

However I have a feeling the club may know they weren't going to be relegated and that is why people are signing for us. That would make sense for sure but I'd prefer to survive legitimately.

I assure you the former international half back signed from down under will play in whatever league we are in.

They'd still have to promote 2 to make it 12 teams.

You know the RFL - why would they just promote two, when they could relegate three, (but not necessarily the bottom three!) and promote five, via a series of complicated play-offs?!

Whilst anyone supporting Leigh would welcome this I'm sure it would be more fair (yes, I know that word doesn't exist in RL anymore) if 3 clubs came up and we still had 2 down from the Championship.

Then again I still believe all clubs should play under the same rules & regulations, so what do I know

i have also heard this rumour.....i hope you guys dont go down, however to run a league like this, if the rumour is true its a joke!

any other sport and i'd say "thatl never happen!" but then you 4get whos running the league!

theyl make some excuse to keep gatehead in....and this could well save you guys,

and i think if it happens it will be decided already and just hasnt been released

The exact same thing happened when Millward last took over IIRC.

We finished bottom, and there were no relegation that year. Then we finished top 4



Deja Vu ??

Perhaps they don't want another season like this where Dewsbury have walked away with the league as the likelihood is whoever goes down with Donny may do that.

The RFL dont give a stuff any more about anything 'under' stupor league surely this latest fiasco has proven that.

Time for a change at the top then - How do you make them jump??

Has know one read any of my previous 20 posts on this topic? If i knew how i would post them all on this post


No sense in anyone else but Donny going down all will be revealed befor e the last game just in case Gateshead finish 2nd bottom!

It would be a disaster if Gateshead went down, as they bring so much of note, to the Championship:-

The most sensitive supporters
The least supporters
The most overseas' players
The shortest pitch on Earth (does it meet the legal requirements?)
The most attractive pitch (all the different markings - you can even see some rugby ones if you look closely!)
The most inaudible PA system.............................................



All tongue in cheek, of course - let's lighten up and get back to worrying about relegation!

Now there's irony.

Is that Sean Long in drag?

Swampy in drag

They ll be someone jumping, they are being lined up as we speak.... but it wont be dumb and dumber

Not unless he finally combed his hair!

Saints fan has chip on shoulder!! no surprise there then.
