I believe East were told by the Council 'To tell Burnham that it's got nothing to do with him, so tell him to keep out of it'.

It's your local Councillor who needs to know how you feel now and to realise that come the next batch of local elections their position is vulnerable.

It was the council cheif exec who told him to butt out of local politics, the same one that ducked and hid away from meeting sport england.Im led to believe our MP has had words with her.

Weren't telling him to but out, when he was championing the cause...

Look at it this way I don't think Wigan Council need the bad press of evicting an amateur rugby club 1 year into it's new home because they've put the bloody rent up already.

The country is in recession which is something the LSV committee seem to have forgotten. They've had some praise from Leigh Centurions recently but they won't be getting any from me.

But is he not the MP for Leigh as well as some big wig in the cabinet. Or do they give up on their constituency when they move to central government? Who is this chief exec who said this and does he or she have any vested interests in the LSV? Is wigan council not a Labour run council and why can an elected MP in the government in power (which is Labour if I'm not mistaken) not have a say in such a matter. The sooner Leigh Borough Council (and nothing to do with Wigan)is brought back the better.

JOYCE REDFEARN is chief exec

No you won't mate im still on holiday, do you think im daft enough to put that on here knowing you'd be seeing me on Sat

Good news lets hope things change for the better now,

Thanks for the update, but I can't see how these 2 actions are connected with being "evicted"? If Easts have done nothing wrong, what will these actions do as far as Wigan Council are concerned?

Good on you Mr C, stick to your guns and prove to those morons just how unrealistic they're being - show them up for the fools they are.

Yes well done Leigh rugby union

Fantastic gesture - lets all hope there will be no need to take them up on it and WMBC back off

What a fantastic gesture - well done to Leigh Rugby Union Club.









(Though let's hope you never need take up their offer eh?)

A big thank you to Leigh Rugby union. I hope it does not come to this but good to see union working to help league

I thought the LSV was built for the town and not for profit.

The gesture from the local RU club is to be applauded.This facility at Easts should not be exploited by Wigan Council. It makes no sense.

Question - if Leigh East cannot afford to pay $60k..then who will..will it just be unused? If so this would be a bit of a farce wouldn't it?

Just think it could be Leigh Centurions with this same issue in future years! Never EVER trust WMBC....

Leigh Miners........

Naughty Naughty

well trevor barton has got something to do with them has'nt he

In the Navy, the Union and League fraternity are working extensively together under the banner;

"Together Stronger"

BTW, the Navy beat the Army 11-10 in Portsmouth on Friday, so clearly something's going right for them.

Best of Luck Mr C

There's no way any other amateur rugby club would touch it with a barge pole if Leigh East got kicked out - and who the hell could afford it anyway?

Perhaps the 60k is just the charge for East only?

Both happy to be involved when her majesty was in town

Now they keep their heads down and let the ' legal dept ' sort out the ' dirty washing '

Discraceful
