IIRC We did the pitch and floodlights the year before and bought the golf stand on gaining promotion.

The East stand extension followed a year later.

No, but what you posted is totally inconsequential to anything since Leigh Centurions don't own the stadium and AFAIK aren't involved in its construction or maintenance.

Right. You fail to explain why that matters.



We've got great facilities and a secure tenancy. A different model was used to achieve the goal, as where could a club like Leigh possibly acquire the money to construct such a facility? It would have taken 20+ years of the clubs turnover to fund.



A club needn't heavily burden itself to get better facilities, and it was all conceived, planned and construction was begun during the P&R era.

Yeah, so it's completely inconsequential to the thread. It's about as relevant as claiming that the DW Stadium and KC Stadium are also victories for P&R. Good for Leigh, the council built them a stadium, that's great but it has nothing to do with a club like Featherstone investing in infrastructure and development rather than short-term on-field success.

Not to mention that Featherstone will own and run their improved stadium and therefore stand to benefit financially in the long run.

Who knows, but they did build a 2000+ seat stand back in the days of P&R.

It didn't look anything like that big a crowd on tv.

Not the only thing they developed at the stadium when P & R was in existence.



They improved the disabled facilities, built a study centre amongst other countless things.

I agree, but it has boosted their average for the season to 2,536 (just over the box-ticking number although I don't think this will apply from next year when some measure of sanity returns to RL).



This brings back vivid memories of Fax v Batley a few years ago.

FM, I would guess there was as many as the fixture against you guys, if not more. The main stand was full (commentary area), sponsors section, full again.



Wouldn't it be great if all the teams could start attracting crowds of this nature.

I agree, Chris, but I didn't believe the attendance figure for the Fax game either.

You are William Eve and I claim my £5. Seriously - what is the point of these sort of posts?



Why did they publish a faked attendance, then? Is 3,890 a magical number that will secure great advantages for Fev? Is 3,890 a number that when I looked at it, should instantly impress everyone who will then all say, "Wow, look, if Fev can get 3,890 in a league decider they must immediately be promoted to SL"? Or maybe they just want to pay more VAT?
