Myself, being from wigan I've always seen leigh as a small club, simply a district in wigan with no potential to become as big as us.
But, I have changed my perception of you leighers recently and fair play to degsy for a big part of that. Wigan (inc leigh) imo is the epicentre of rl in the uk, junior and amateur teams are doing well etc. If man u and man city can can be based in the same city because the area is football mad then why shouldn't we have 2 teams based around wigan. As much as I detest leigh due to being a wigan fan, I actually hope you do well.
