Eh, you are going to put people off coming and joining us for a sing song charlie.

I used to go to the Concert Inn on Bolton Road when Jimmy Hilton (my mother's cousin) ran it. She had a shop opposite the Bacca Shop and Woodwards Garage, - the shop was demolished years ago for flats. I knew you just wanted to know that Charlie.

I'm back to sort the lads out! First song .. Sh111t ground no fans haha!

Ste what about, your supposed to be at home.

That one sounds good to me

No you don't!!

I'm led to believe that our lads (Leigh) have been 'squatting' in there since Sunday!

Well would you believe that Swinton have refused us permission to broadcast the game? I'm bloody fuming - I hope we give them a proper pasting now.

Can only assume that they're concerned about it affecting the gate (even though it's been shown it doesn't have a negative effect on our own crowds). At least it means I don't have to do a preview now

Haha trust you.

Thats a bit unfair that , what reasons have been given?
Its our ground surely LSV would give you permission to transmit anyway. Go over their heads and ask

They rent it just like us though Lynda, so i suppose they being at home have the right to say whether it can be broadcast or not i am afraid.

We are partners with LSV co, trevor said at the fans forum

You may be right then Lynda.

It's up to the individual clubs whether they allow it to be broadcasted.

As far as I'm aware, the decision is Swinton's to make and unfortunately I don't think they have given a reason (nor do they need to I suppose), but as someone else said (on my FB page I think), I wonder if they'd refuse Radio Manchester?

According to the journal yes we do

Absolutely pathetic. They obviously don't want their club name, or sponsors being mentioned beyond the confines of 'their' stadium. As for affecting the gate - well, it's nailed on to be their biggest of the season anyway.

Here you possibly see the type of obstacle that prevents Championship clubs from pooling resources for the 'common good'.

Not sure about the changing room thing now as it would seem the battle lines are drawn - I suppose we'll just have to wait and see.

According to the Jurinal, Leigh have the home Changing rooms but away Dug out, it'll be like what Blackburn do.

Let's get the Swinleighbury Lions stuffed !!!!!
and we can also sing "nice ground....no fans"

Alan, see THEIR biggest crowd is the pre-season friendly v Widnes (1,48icon_cool.gif can we beat that...bl00dy better had !!!

Gutted,I'll have to buy a ticket now as I was going to listen and save me dosh.

Now that's funny.

Be fair.

Swinton have been nomads for many seasons.

Wonder how many regular fans we would have if we had 'for example'to play all our home games in St Helens.

Don't forget there is no incentive to go to Championship games for a lot of people since the possibility of promotion was removed.

Our own crowds aren't too good are they ? Suppose you could say the same for ALL Championship clubs and those in the bottom half of Nonrelegation League.
