Batley match all to pay. I’ll go 10/11 attendance 1,500 or under , 10/11 over 1,500.

Think it will depend on what ticket prices are.

Sorry, I meant for the Batley game.

Now is the time ... ... .... ... .. .... .. ... ... .. ... ....

Considering we lost 500 or so paying speccies in a week from the Swinton to the Sheffield game, I am assuming season tickets are counted as attending, it is difficult to imagine that next season we will post many 2000+ attendances, coincidently it will 2years and a week since we last played Batley in the Qualifying 8's by the time this repeat fixture comes round, that for obvious reasons was our best ever attendancein the 10 years we have been at the LSV 10556, I should imagine we will be at least 8000 down on this correspinding fixture.

Hopefully Harry holidays will have played a part last week , but as I said " Now is the time "

You are full of negativity Harry.

Sorry ATOMIC, I will rephrase that post,

"I suspect against Batley with all to pay, we will in Sept 2018 be approaching our best ever attendance at the LSV, we may even top the 10556 that attended the corresponding fixture in Sept 2016, Leigh fans are expected to flock in their thousands after what is probably the most dissapointing season witnessed in living memory (well at least mine, first game in 1959 and going ever since) a season that promised so much, was hijacked as it taxied down the runway, by and in equal proportions, rank bad management, totally inept coaching, and pi55 poor player performances on the field"

Lay it all down in chronological order from the MPG to were we stand and the predicament we are in today, it should all be chronicled and entitled [iHow not to run a professional sporting organisation[/i

Get real Atomic, I will be there for the games, but it will be more out of the habit of attending for a lifetime, not in appreciation of what this shower have achieved, but there are a lot more who's personal habit of watchin Leigh is no more than 2 maybe 3 seasons old, they will take a lot more convincing to turn up for the rest of this season and next.

That negativity you accuse me of being full of, is precisely how we as a club will be moving forward, short of Sugar Daddy descending on the club, someone will have to sit and look long and hard at how we budget our resources in the immediate future, and it could well be that monies we recieve through the turnstiles will be high on the list of contributors, it has to be taken as a realisation that attendances are going to cascade down, its no good "doing the ostrich" and pretend it ain't going to happen.

So tell me Harry , what exactly do you want me to do ?



Run around shouting " we're DOOOMED " in my best Scottish accent like Mr Fraser ? , or just get along to the rest of the matches , encourage with reasonable enthusiasm for others to attend and see what the future will bring ?



I'll be doing the later

As I stated Gubby I will still be there, but I get the feeling reading on these pages that everything is going to be hunky dory, OK those who take time (most of them) who bother to write on these pages are already the converted, but we need to take a realistic view of the calamity we find ourselves in, as I have stated previously I have followed this club through much more "thin than thick" but I have never felt as despondent of the future as I do at this present time, we have been down many times in the past but the goalposts have changed in recent times, no money = not a lot of progress.



Am I angry, you bet I am, Mr. Beaumont has poured his heart and soul into the club but with his best intentions his decision making has been his and ultimately

Leigh's down fall, keeping both Cunningham as his player advising guru and Jukes as the coach could go down in history as the death knell of the club, and I cannot put into words what that set of overpaid prima donna's who took to the field have dobe to this proud club.



Rant over, I needed to get it of my chest, I really care about Leigh RLFC, and like a lot of others feel totally let down by the club.



You are correct, keep a positive arttitude and see what the future brings, onwards and upwards, only time will tell.
