August 9, 201412 yr so the teams in leighs league are playing for fcuk all, then may as well have used this year as one for preparation and developing players no reason for trying to win the thing
August 9, 201412 yr Hang on So Leigh won't be super league next season? That's nonsense that bit always makes me laugh
August 9, 201412 yr so the teams in leighs league are playing for fcuk all, then may as well have used this year as one for preparation and developing players no reason for trying to win the thing That's exactly what's been done in fairness as virtually the entire team are staying on next year and going full time. 3,500 isn't bad going at all with 200 away fans on a Friday night. Small steps and that. Tell you what though, it was absolutely bouncing at times, top atmopshere.
August 9, 201412 yr This year is about finishing top because we now get enough prize money to go full time next season which we need to be for when next years play offs happen against the bottom 4 super league teams. If we were still part time we wouldn't be able to compete. If we finished third then the money isn't enough to go full time so in effect it's a two year development plan.

My original questions weren't taking the piss, they were genuine. So, is 3500 a good size of crowd, S? Edited August 9, 201412 yr by Traf
August 9, 201412 yr Thanks for explaining. My original questions weren't taking the piss, they were genuine. So, is 3500 a good size of crowd, S? Super League crowds at Leeds and Wigan are around 15k; Hull, St Helens and Warrington 10k; the rest down towards 6k, except Salford (4/5k) and London (2/3k). So I would say 3500 for a (winning) team at a level below is fairly good. The shake-up comes next season. SL is reduced to 12 and then the 24 clubs in SL and Championship split into 3 groups of 8. The middle group are playing for 4 SL places.
August 9, 201412 yr My Leigh born and bred brother in law is a Leigh Stalwart. He is however one that insists Leigh is hated by the fraternity, especially since Lindsey was in his pomp. Conspiracy theories are two to the dozen once we are a few beers in. No idea whether there is any substance in his vitriol but he is passionate, Lindsey is and always was a creep though!

August 9, 201412 yr My Leigh born and bred brother in law is a Leigh Stalwart. He is however one that insists Leigh is hated by the fraternity, especially since Lindsey was in his pomp. Conspiracy theories are two to the dozen once we are a few beers in. No idea whether there is any substance in his vitriol but he is passionate, Lindsey is and always was a creep though! Ask him about the 1905 Challenge Cup match. Leigh beat Wigan 3-0 in the first round. Wigan protested about the eligibility of a player because he had not been at work for the week before the tie. Match replayed - Wigan won 5-0. They've not been friends since then.
August 10, 201412 yr Bi E's lot aren't doing very well so far. And his Chester mob got panned yesterday.
