Time is right




He is going to be watching some video nasties

I think this statement goes directly to the players.They must shape up or be shipped out.
Now lets see whos interested in playing for Leigh Centurions!!!!!!

well he should have them any day now, thats when he changes his mind

[i'Gee Arthur you didn't tell me the job was so bloody hard'[/i

Ive not raffled a DVD for ages on the coach, no one would buy a ticket, sorry FRed

Hopefully anyone wanting a new contract with the club and who wants to be coached by Millward will get their finger out (apart from the usual suspects that is)and Friday is as good a place to start .

Great news.....welcome back Ian.

Nice of you lot to have some good news for a change, he's a good appointment but you have to stay up to make it worthwhile.

slightly O,T but what would happen if the worst thing happened was that we got relegated, then next year we win the N,R,C and promotion back to this league, would that still count for the franchise?

Yep it would....if you win the N.R.C you can apply for a franchise (as long as you are in the championship), just means we would have to promoted next season also.

Yes it would also being in the GF for 2011 would count (read the wording of the last years refusal notices) so if they choose the 2012 teams before then clubs should have a recourse to law?

the franchise applications go in in 2011 so it would allow us to apply if we won the N.R.C next year.

No offence mate but i think your getting a little carried away there, the championship 1 salary cap is much lower than the championship cap and you would meet stiff opposition from the league above so getting to the final is very doubtful. Your crowds would also drop even more (possible sub 1,000) how can you then afford to run the stadium etc.

Getting relegated would be a disaster for Leigh.

i cant even think about us getting relegated.I would be Gutted

Can I just asked if anyone has made a 'Millwards red & white army' flag yet?

'me digits are soor wi sowint blanket'

And we all know every team stays under the salary cap.

We would of course miss the massive away followings that we have had this season!!!!!

Not good but not a disaster,we had little chance of getting a Franchise next in my opinion. I'm still convinced the goal posts will be moved yet again and none of the teams currently in SL will be relegated unless of course they go out of business.

You reap what you sow and we gambled on an inexperienced squad this year and unfortunately its not worked, but several of the players will develop into good ones and its up to the board to keep them and build up a team again.

Bit of good news for u guys for a change, the Championship needs a strong Leigh club. Hope Ian can work some magic for you, unless you are playing against us.

Just made a celebration tea Lobby of course,made some extra and going to offer it to the Lobby god as a thankyou for delivering us good fortune, will also ask him to keep us up

Hopefully this will help us get back on un "upper". Really we've been in a bit of a freefall since 2005/6

I'm working in Pembrokeshire at the moment and it's my birthday today and guess what my cards havent turned up. I was goiung to out and get drunk to drown my sorrow. But now I'm going out and getting drunk to celebrate the return of our best coach.
Come On You Leeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeigh.

Happy Birthday,

what a present.

Fanfookingtastic news, a real coup for the club and exactly the boost we need.


[size=59Still worried as to what would happen if we go down though.[/size
