Maggie Tate Posted September 10, 2016 Posted September 10, 2016 Oi Smiffs - tell the class where you were on the day when Leigh last got promoted whilst all us men were there! Fuckin mega. Lots of time on the M5 and M6 beckons next summer... Quote
Boby Brno Posted September 10, 2016 Posted September 10, 2016 For me it will be Karma if Salford get relegated now that Leigh are Super League. Well done the Leythers! Quote
RoadRunnerFan Posted September 10, 2016 Posted September 10, 2016 Congratulations Lobby gobblers! Quote
Salford Trotter Posted September 10, 2016 Posted September 10, 2016 (edited) Congrats to Leigh so let's hope we can enjoy the derby next season. Looking like a Hull KR or Huddersfield v Salford for the £1m game Edited September 10, 2016 by Salford Trotter Quote
Underpants Posted September 10, 2016 Posted September 10, 2016 Well done Leigh. I know that Leigh is a rugby town, and Bolton is football. Leigh have a good contingent of Wanderers fans, but do Leigh get much support from the BL postcode? Quote
Smiffs Posted September 10, 2016 Posted September 10, 2016 Congrats to Leigh so let's hope we can enjoy the derby next season. Looking like a Hull KR or Huddersfield v Salford for the £1m game Hkr by far the worst of the 3 mate. Salford v hkr in million pound game...too close to call in a cup final especially as you'd lose home advantage with sale playing that day. Quote
Smiffs Posted September 10, 2016 Posted September 10, 2016 For me it will be Karma if Salford get relegated now that Leigh are Super League. Well done the Leythers! Dayne was full of praise for you mate. He will be back...he's had stuff done at one of the biggest RL clubs in the world and really appreciated your work. Quote

I watched salford demolish HKR at our place only a few months back but a one off game is a different proposition Quote

Salford Trotter Posted September 10, 2016 Posted September 10, 2016 Exactly mate it will be tough either way but give Salford their points back and they shouldn't even be in the mixExactly but Koukash has brought this on himself so we are where we are. My grandad played and funded the club for 25 years in the early part of the 1900s so i have a personal connection with the club so their current plight is particularly hard to take Quote

Enjoy the ride! Quote
leigh white Posted September 11, 2016 Posted September 11, 2016 What a day, Leigh getting promoted and massive celebrations in the sunny George & Dragon beer garden with the ale and cider festival on. Well looking forward to Catalan away next season. Quote
Smiffs Posted September 11, 2016 Posted September 11, 2016 Exactly but Koukash has brought this on himself so we are where we are. My grandad played and funded the club for 25 years in the early part of the 1900s so i have a personal connection with the club so their current plight is particularly hard to take He also took over a basket case and has thrown in some good coin. He's realised there are rules too...a bit late now but the problems run much deeper. It's a shame they were established at the willows and moving them to that faceless place on the outskirts of nothing will kill eventually them. Quote
Leyther_Matt Posted September 11, 2016 Posted September 11, 2016 Well done Leigh. I know that Leigh is a rugby town, and Bolton is football. Leigh have a good contingent of Wanderers fans, but do Leigh get much support from the BL postcode?Support in Bolton is certainly growing in my experience, seem to have more and more coming each week. It probably helps when the alternatives are Wigan and Salford which both obviously have footballing connotations that aren't great for BWFC fans, and I suppose there's a similar outlook at being a reasonably big club in the context, but with a lot of your own town support somewhat drawn to bigger neighbours.

Leyther_Matt Posted September 11, 2016 Posted September 11, 2016 Anyway, fuck me it actually happened. I did call it weeks ago that we'd get promoted yesterday, but still a huge shock! Quote
Site Supporter Spider Posted September 11, 2016 Site Supporter Posted September 11, 2016 I'll be jumping on the band wagon next season supporting Leigh. True blue gunner garoo all my life. They don't serve lobby at the ground though do they? The pungent whiff of 1930's cuisine drifting across the stands might put me off. Otherwise, me and the lad are in. For the odd match. Against Wiggin. Will they do a Haka before matches now? They can just fire lobby at the opposition from catapults. Quote
Sweep Posted September 11, 2016 Posted September 11, 2016 They don't serve lobby at the ground though do they? You have to wade through a trench of it on the way into the ground Quote
leigh white Posted September 11, 2016 Posted September 11, 2016 Took a while for me to adapt to LSV after the times spent on a Sunday afternoon at Hilton Park, still, we have to move on. Quote

no balls Posted September 11, 2016 Posted September 11, 2016 (edited) Next home game (Saturday 17th) is free. Bolton are away so if you're not going I'll not be at either game. #shittestfanever Edited September 11, 2016 by no balls Quote
Traf Posted September 11, 2016 Posted September 11, 2016 Spiralised carrot surely That's already in the lobby Quote

I had friends over from Australia who love RL recently, so I took them to the Leigh v London Broncos game. Stood in the terrace behind the goal ( which was an experience in itself) there were quite a few who had come from the Macron stood around me, in Bolton shirts etc, but i actually got some grief for being from Bolton off some pissed up twat and told what was I doing in Leigh, he told my friends that of all the places in England they shouldn't go it's Bolton as its full of wankers and we were as bad as Wiganers! Think he was a minority, worked in Leigh for 20 odd years and never heard of any sort of hatred or rivalry before, just that they hate Wigan, it quite surprised me the level of his vitriol towards Bolton.
