Unfortunately I don't think he'll (phil60) be the last to say something similar



People are just fed up of the false dawns I think. At the moment where money is tight turning up at LSV every other week (or month in our league

) this kind of cash can be put to better use in some people's eyes.

thats it kevster just got better things to spend my money on and i have watched leigh for 40 yrs and it is hard for me to say this but now i would rather pay 2 pound and watch the miners just sick of being let down over the years with false hope that things will get better never happens

If things dont get better , they'll just get worse

dont think it can get any worse for me than yesterday

In that case, the only way is up, and now is the time to enjoy us rising again

bit like the titanic and that never happens either

Great attitude! If AT did this we'd have no club and there would only be Easts and Miners......

Sport is in cycles. Some people can't stand not being top dogs in this comp any more. I think many people have a point but I think the malaise set in last July when the whole Franchise debacle came to light.

The seeds of Leigh's downfall came when it won the Grand Final against Whitehaven.

The squad and fabric of the club was ripped out to go SL and it damn near killed us.

I can't see any more white knights on the horizon. The club is in a downward spiral currently this season and play-off ambitions will have to be put on hold until the club has achieved at least 2 more victories.

I'd agree there, but I cant throw the towel in becuase Id have to spend more time shopping with the wife, and thats just not an option.

Can you imagine this board if we lost to Doncaster in their current plight

soz but dont think u can call my attitude AT hasnt been payin is money for 40 yrs like me

I was taught two things in life.... you'll get taxed on earnings and Leigh will let you down... Both great snippets so everything else is rosey

I'm not convinced they'd come in again...

Too many folk have long memories and won't go near the place cos Leigh didn't get Murph's name on that extended contract in 1971, or because of Mick Higgins or because Ashy said something out of turn back in 1992.. the excuses are endless and I don't believe the former fans can be brought back.

They are happy to snipe in the pubs and clubs.

and it is that shortsightedness that has gripped this club like a cancer in recent years.
We have a half full glass, that seems almost empty to most.

I was out of breath reading that............. I take it you like a cardio-vascular work-out....

my dad started to take me wastching leigh when i was 7, i am now 38 in july. i go home and away, and class myself as a loyal fan, i have a moan and hate it when we play bad, and love it when we win and play well. I will always be a leigh fan and will continue to be loyal to my club till they hammer the final nail into my coffin, watching and supporting your team is about the emotinal roller coaster that rl and sport is all about, i can see why people are upset, but come on we have been in worse positions than this, and come back fighting, what we need is for the loyal fans to stay loyal and continue to support our club, even if we think it can be run better, and who doesn't,m but to walk away is not a option, not for me anyway, loyal leigh fan til i die.

Are you wembley71...........

well said that man

no bart i am not. but i am wolrab and i shall be at haven in a few weeks and halifax shortly afterwards, i may even boo my team if they deserve it, and clap them also when they deserve it, but the important point is i will be at the games, and come that day when we win something and it wasn't to long ago when we did win a trophy or 2, we can all say well we've been with our club through thick and thin, very thin but we're fans and supporters and we won't walk away, we just can't, my point made i think. keep the faith no matter how hard it is.

C,mon lad stick with it a bit longer cos when you get to sixty it,s only a quid at the Miners.

My Grandad always said "Ah well, if things don't happen they'll stop as they are".

oh ok I,ll go to both games too.

As I point out every now and again, I have lived in Toronto for the last 7 years so I have no choice whether to attend games or not. However, I will be over for two weeks at the end of July.

By complete coincidence I will be in the Lake District when we are playing Barrow away. I WAS looking forward to popping along, until our results got even worse than they had been, and I have been having serious second thoughts about whether it is worth the effort.

But having thought about it, Leigh is still MY team and I WILL be there, win, lose or draw, rain, hail or shine. Maybe we can perform creditably, maybe we will get a bonus point, heck maybe we will snatch a famous victory! It would be great to have a lot of fellow leythers there to cheer the lads on and boo them enthusiastically if things go pear shaped!

Excuses ,excuses , part time fans like you are the reason we are in this situation



Your 7 year absence had nothing to do with me joining the board did it ?
