My take is that Haggerty has shown some promise which can be nurtured/mentored in the Championship by an amicable and experienced DoR.

Tight hammies are a ###### when it comes to a teamsheet - any player not wanting to play can find a reason not to. We had a squad on its arriss, no middles and 4 hookers/halves on the bench at one point but still no hand went up. Suppose the club can't call him out as very difficult to prove.

We had the religious guy post game at Hilton Park - his banner was ''The end is nigh'' with the crowd responding '' you watched the game then''

Thank you Did Salford owe the council £1.3m in un paid rent, and is the rent £0 at present

Thank you for the correction, so that I am up to speed What was the deal? and what was it previously? Someone told me the council agreed rent free unless over 8000? What was not repaid when the CVA was broke?

You will have some clubs with a vote who would lose nothing by staging a Mon night game - they will take anything

granted, I could pay staff £1 a hour just wont get staff

Having been to the old Moor Lane when Swinton played there I can only comment what a total hole it was then and that the fun of 2000 Wire or Saints fans descending on the area for parking is worth a tv channel on its own. As commented on Salford decided not pay rent but players - and have got away with it

I enjoy your reasoning, it brightens up a cloudy day. Historically about 50% of boxes are for season and are at about £1k average, higher for some and lower for others - 10k loss 100 diners lost would be about 6k Main match sponsors reduced by £5k Plus gate drop by 1000-1500 plus secondary spends will be 40-50k in total plus ###### off fans who have had their day taken away = immeasurable. This needs filling from the deal otherwise you are expecting clubs whose central funding has been decimated losing even more

Leigh were told in 2001 to fit out the TS stand with seats in order to meet Framing the Future requirements and gain entry to SL, despite numerous SL clubs not meeting those requirements and still dont. Leigh spent what was in the squad strengthening budget on meeting that criteria - Widnes brought in players and won promotion. The RFL/SL are not to be trusted

not when they dont pay to tell them

Lets say Leigh are to play Fev in a sunday 3pm non televised game next season with both teams up near the top, if not a top2 fixture. Corporate would be packed ie 20 exec boxes, sponsorship would be fully taken and dining room would have 200 in generating £40-50k, one would hope dependent on time of season a 4/5k gate and local pubs and on site beer/catering doing well. Fast forward that to a monday evening and that income would conservatively drop by £40k and probably more. If we have a deal that compensates the clubs for the losses and limits games that can be shown to 1 per season at home plus 1 away by lets say £50k per club then lt works, or indeed pay £50k per game shown to the home club. If this is a fekk all deal then burn the paper its on unless its a major channel

As stated basic English and ability to listen is a big problem for you it seems, so let me try again - in big letters REMOVE ALL TW FIXTURES AND RESULTS OF THOSE FIXTURES FROM THE FINAL POSITIONS. LEIGH STAY ON 32 POINTS AND WILL HAVE PLAYED ONE GAME LESS THAN THE OTHERS DUE TO LOSING TO TW 3 TIMES (BASH FIXTURE). THEY LOST TO LONDON AND FEV WHICH TAKES THEM TO 31 AND 30 RESPECTIVELY - SO WITHOUT THE EXTRA FIXTURE LEIGH WOULD HAVE FINISHED 3RD AND WITH THE 2 PLAYERS COMING IN ON TOP OF THE QUALITY WE HAD PLUS THE FACT WE HAD BEATEN ALL OUR RIVALS IN THE SECOND PART OF THE SEASON AND SALFORD IN THE CC LEADS ME TO BELIEVE WE PROBABLY WOULD HAVE BEEN PROMOTED.

Nope.

Pretty true but its not a SL quality ground, and does not take away from the situation of Salford being in SL is because the didn't meet their CVA obligations and cant afford rent at the AJB - ie they spent it on players. If they had settled those bills would the squad have been good enough to stay up?
