Harry Stottle Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 4 hours ago, Krzzystuff said: As per the Guardian article shared in a different thread SL bosses are aware that NA expansion is key to survival (sorry Parky that must have gutted you reading that) so DB's feelings aren't a consideration at all. Go onto that thread Krzzy, and look what I wrote in reply to Bob8 the poster of the article, I stated that the mention of the TWP and the wording would produce different connotations to whoever the reader is, it does not state NA expansion is key to survival, that is your subconscious reading it that way, no apoligies to Parky nessacary, it could be your goodself on the recieving end of your well used STFU, time will tell.

We will wait and see but I see only positives for the game with us being there and i'm confident all the SL owners will as well, we are the key to bringing money into the game and they are all apparently greedy in the "Super Greed" as UK posters have mentioned many times. You guys have done expansion and seen it fail i get it but we are starting from the bottom and paying to play, were not the same a sthe other ventures. On top of all that is it safe to presume that we have gotten much more global and local exposure for RL than any of the other failed expansion teams? did they have deep pocketed RL fans as backers or just in in it to try and make money? you guys keep trashing our team and then get sensitive when we dish it back out...hence the sandwich for the haters.

You will never find that I have trashed the TWP, and for what it is worth I agree with all you reference in the first two paragraphs of your reply, infact I know a number of your players and coaches especially the lads native to Leigh personally. I am not against expansion contrarary to some of the posts that have classified me as such, but am I wary of it happening to fast and having an adverse reaction to the game over here, you bet I am. Your team have not even started their second season, and yet the fanfares, trumpets and majorettes are out in force on an expansion programme, not with the momentum of a snowball gathering pace as it proceeds down the hill, but a full scale avalanche is hoped to cascade. I have stated in the past, TWP should be treated as a work in progress, it should be evaluated, assesed, appraised, scrutinised, and studied, to see what works and highlight anything adverse. The information gleaned from such an undertaking would be to the benefit of those wishing to formulate new teams and for the authorities going forward. As you say, expansion has failed miserably over here, but only a fool would deny that the TWP have an offer far exceeding anything that has been undertaken before, and done correctly it should only be a win win for all concerned, and especially those clubs who follow.

I don't know whether Mr Krzzy is aware of my feelings on the expansion programme, I just wanted to lay down my aspect of the situation, anyway he must be in agreement he has acknowledged my post to him.

It is, as a few of us said, not some underhand deal that Bo Derek was rallying his internet warriors to pick up their pitchforks and fight, but a clear standard practice deal Give me strength.

I think that once he had dug the hole, then people pointing out he had already taken the shilling for the rights, pulled up the ladder and left him scrambling to get out, other thing was he also forget to tell his troops to put the pitchforks down, while he was swanning about in South Africa.

Kayakman Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 -I believe at the time I posted: "Even if an extra fee was offered you know it would never be enough with this guy Beaumont...this is a two bit hustler shake down I tell ya, not good. Finally, free broadcasts and international exposure for every team in Championship and Leigh (with this lunatic Beaumont) would put it all at risk for a few shillings...bush league...and don't pretend you don't know it...I know you know better." -then the attacks began.

Surely rugby boys can do it if soccer players can. TWP need to start playing at home earlier in the season, which means getting access to Lamport and removing the winter dome earlier. As I have mentioned before, I would like the TWP to try and get a contract with the city to manage Lamport stadium, just like MLSE do with BMO field. TFC's BMO field is heated. I'd be amazed if Lamport is. I'm all favour if they can do it, but my thought was it would be risky to push games into Feb. Clearing a few feet of snow from the field is easy, but kind of a job to clear it off the seats. There isn't a machine for that. It's pure grunt work. But I'd go and make sure I bring a wee dram to cut the chill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DemonUK Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 So back to the original thread topic title. Derek didn't threaten to bar or ban anybody. He simply said no arrangements had been made or forthcoming and invited contact from either Premier/The RFL or both. As I understand it Leigh were not the first team to contact the RFL .... but hey that doesn't stop the incredibly sad blinkered usual suspects on here .... they really do need help Here we go again .....
