Tell me have I missed a trick here and Leigh RLFC have suddenly bought the sports village, if not then Leigh are as much squatters as Swinton since both clubs pay rent.
Incidentally it was Leigh who requested they play Fev on the Friday and Fev who objected, despite the fact I believe Leigh have to travel to Fev to play them in the league on a Friday.

We are shareholders and Leigh people pay council tax which goes towards the stadium plus it's in Leigh and built for the Leigh community so it's our home - go find your own ground.

Pretty sure Leigh have an 11% stake.

Bugger off to Warrington Marshy I'm sure they will let you play there

So when are Swinton Wolves playing their game against keighley Bulls lol

Good morning Marshy.

Leigh are playing at Fev, in the Championship. on the [uSunday[/u after the cup tie. (unless of course, changes to that one are afoot!

)

As for the cup tie arrangements, well they have been a bit of a farce, haven't they? I listened to an interview with Keighley coach Paul March, on Sunday, and he said they were still preparing for a Sunday cup tie - unless they heard to the contrary.

Alan a truer word has never been said, Leigh wanted the Friday night and Swinton confirmed the Sunday with Keighley, Featherstone throw their dummy out of the pram and low and behold the RL come down in favour of them. On Sunday the LSV management were insisting that the RL were looking into this yet they had sent e-mails to Keighley telling them that Leigh's game will be on Sunday..... Dogs dinner springs to mind.

Marshy when you know the date and venue for Lions v Keighley could you post it on here as a few of us Leythers do watch you when we aren't playing.

Aye, more or less snowy.
(the below figures are from 2007 though)


Wigan Council 65%
Leigh Harriers 15%
Leigh Centurions 12%
Leigh East ARLFC 4%
Leigh RMI 4%

Can’t see those being right now.

I’d be amazed if Leigh RMI and even to a lesser extent Leigh East still had a share.

Will do

Leigh requested the Friday night so released the Sunday date over to Swinton, who then swiftly agreed it with Keighley and both of them officially announced it.

Only problem was that Leigh had banked on Featherstone just agreeing to the Friday night and they didn't, hence the farce.

So surely the two innocent parties here are Swinton and Keighley therefore common sense should prevail and Leigh/ Fev find an alternative date?

That won't happen
swinton can play at 12.30 it's not as though there will be a Hugh crowd, also charge um an extra fiver and they an stay and watch both games, sorted !!!

I don't think you really mean that.

Give Swinton and Keighley the east stand and the keep/share the gate receipts for that stand and everyone's happy.



PS this is tongue in cheek by the way because of the corporate side of both games but it is an interesting solution.

Yeh, make it a double header.

The attendance might go up by eerrm, 306 or 307 or summat like that !!
lol

Can't the baby Wolves play on the East or Harriers at the same time.

Nah they can play Friday night

But haven't the RFL just said that no games can take place on Friday nights?? Or is it just us that applies to?

Swinton v Keighley now appears to be on Saturday 26th April - wasn't that day a 'no-no' because of another function? keighleycougars.com/coach-travel ... ton-lions/

Salford lad our game is now on Saturday April 26th KO 3pm.

Thanks mate I will be there.

The RFL probably haven't said they can't take place on Fridays, as I've said before we played Pat's on a Friday, its probably as simple as its ok being a Friday if both teams agree but if not then they decide.

If Fev were already planning on putting cheap coaches on and bringing around 1000 fans then their case for a Saturday/ Sunday was probably a lot stronger than ours, especially being a shared gate and our lack of evidence that Fridays are better attended.

What if your bus doesn't turn up ?Or the weather is hot ?Or your not feeling well ?Or your cat is ill ?Charlie knows

.And I WILL be there .
