Quote from the independant yesterday
www.independent.co.uk/sport/gene ... 14064.html
"Leigh hope to know by the end of this week whether they have been reprieved from relegation to the third tier of the game, Championship One. The club, who yesterday welcomed back Ian Millward as coach, finished last season in one of the relegation places in the Championship, but since then Gateshead, who survived, have said that they would rather drop down to regroup after their financial implosion. A meeting of the League's board of directors will discuss the situation on Friday.
"Hopefully with the Gateshead factor the club will get a second chance," said Millward, who coached St Helens with great success after his first stint at Leigh. "It would be good practice for the League to help clubs showing enterprise like this one." The future of another Championship One club, Oldham, appears secure after the withdrawal of a winding-up order."

| While that sounds like it might be good news, my attention in that story was drawn to Offiah getting his name in again. How many other player transfers that get reported have the players agent named. I saw another the other day, 'Offiah' trio commit to Quins. The guy is a pr1ck

| If we do get a reprieve there is another good chance to get the club on the TV again. Get a call out for loads of supporters to gather outside the ground a bit like a cup home coming, celebrating the fact we are staying up and get IM and the board to adress the crowd with the cameras there. Open the bar, set a few fireworks off.All good publicity for the club.

| Well I'll be down at the Cricket Club for the fireworks on Friday night, so won't be too far away. I'll gladly have a celebratory drink if there's good news tomorrow.

Hardly a cause for mass celebration - ATEOTD last season we failed and got what we deserved.
Personally should it happen I would be a bit more humble about it and sympathise with Gatesheads situation.
And get Millward or RP to speak to the media not Allan Rowley

| We did finish in a relegation spot, we always knew it was the bottom two English clubs.
One thing I would say is on this occasion from what I've seen all members of the club have been very dignified on the way they've handled both relegation and the Gateshead situation.

| It says [url=http://www.therfl.co.uk/championship/page.php?areaid=235here[/url
From 2009, two teams will be relegated from The Co-operative Championship to The Co-operative Championship One.*
and then further down
*Please note: Toulouse Olympique XIII are exempt from relegation and will remain in The Co-operative Championship should they finish in the bottom 2
Nowt about being demoted, no witch hunt, no lets pick on Leigh, simply the bottom two English clubs are relegated of which we were one.

Exactly. We knew the rules a year ago, can't believe people are still disputing them.

Think that had as much to do with Toulouse's collapse upon knowing they wouldn't be going down. Bar the odd brainfart, we deserved to go down anyway.

Way things are going SL will consist of around 6 teams within the next few years half of them are struggling moneywise those who promised the RL
they would have a new ground in time for the next round of dodgy dealings
have no chance RL is bug-er,d in this country run by empty yeds
who live in another dimension

Are you suggesting they didn't give 100% because they knew they wouldn't be relegated, which could possibly help clubs in a relegation fight. Whatever next, clubs/players in SL not giving 100% due to no relegation, nah, never happen

| At least one other club doesn't want us to go down!
Taken from News and Star. 4-11-09 (Article does not appear on their website)
"Ambitious Leigh Ceturions should retain their Championship status if struggling Gateshead are relegated.
That's the view of Whitehaven general manager Nigel Beaty, who believes Leigh would add box office appeal to the competition after signing some top talent for next term."
He also goe on to say "The best thing all round for the competition financially would be to keep Leigh up. They always bring plenty of support when they play at Whitehaven... They took 400 fans to Toulouse this year - more than any other Championship club - which is indicative of their travelling support."
