Its the beginning of the end for everyone at the LSV unless they drastically slash their charges .

The LSV have got Leigh Centurions and Leigh East by the bollox now they have nowhere else to go unless they cough up the asking price .

Would be interesting to know if the clubs knew before hand that they were going to be taken to the cleaners and have little say in when and where they could play and train .

Did they know the costs and conditions before they were conned into leaving their old grounds and moving into this shiney Shangra La ?

Reminds me of that old bloke with the placard who used to walk round Hilton Park in the 70's " Repent The End Is Nigh "

Crilly Park it is then

Welcome to the world of LGFC

Crilly Park has a slope akin to Mount Pleasant so I suppose we will see lots of 40/20 attempts down the hill. The clubhouse serves decent ale. It's only a few hundred yards from the train station so away fans will find it more accessable. Lots of land down one of the touchlines to build a decent sized terrace. (I'm starting to look forward to it now).

Would cost a fortune to bring up to acceptable standards though.

Still cheaper than what LSV would charge





Anyway we could all chip in and help out......

Any brickies, builders, architects, nail knockers, electricians etc etc, i dont mind doing the networking cabling and IT stuff

"The house that built"



Don't think it's a million miles off the mark though, to be honest.

(Don't forget Atherton and Hag Fold stations are shut on a Sunday, so the railway benefit is out of the window unless we change matchday!)

what about a new stadium with only one seated stand and three terraced sides being built on that massive open space over the by-pass from Asda.

Friday night games...........yipee!! it just gets better. And only five minutes walk from the Lion pub with it's cask ale. I'm definately sold.

Is there a Heli-pad for those coming from Westleigh International Airport ?

Depends how big the new Tommy Sale Stand will be (opposite the grandstand), but I believe shuttle buses already operate from Terminal B.

Where is Crilly Park?????

Atherton. Home of Atherton LR football club.

Hag F old , Atherton

Now i know

Crilly Park;

Nowt wrong with that at all, where's me cable making gear??????

Being ex Fleet Air Arm (Royal Navy) i will personally build and man the heliport on match days before and after kick off.Just need a fire extinguisher and two table tennis bats!!!!

We're sorted then Dave , I've paid some kids a fiver to nick a fire extinguisher from school and they'll get the tennis bats off Andy Murray tonight



Thats his Wimbledon stuffed then

It will be anyway if he is playing with table tennis bats

If he wins a Tennis match with a Table tennis bat, he should be given the trophy anyway for being that good......

If he cant win with a table tennis racquet then he's not joining our Piggy team

Exactly Matt.........and all the people who scoffed and smirked last November should wake up and smell the coffee now before it's too late !!

Gillian and Diane won't be the only decent good hardworking people losing their jobs thanks to the "White Elephant" that is the LSV !

Crying shame.

Both are unsung heroes and always had a smile in that shop. I mentioned it to my daughter this morning and she asked 'what will happen to Gillian?'.

Hopefully something can be sorted one way or another.

Gutted for the girls in the shop,allways helpfull and friendly,lets hope something is sorted out for them

Apparently the club are looking at on line sales and having a ' mobile ' shop at the LSV on match days as Widnes and several other clubs have done and do at present

IF the LSV management will allow it , so dont hold your breath there then
