Jill Halfpenny fan Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 Have to admit, I'd miss Leigh if they went up, always a game to look forward to in this division.

All I hope is that whichever club is given the spot we can see that the decision has been based solely on the criteria and no underhand shenanigans.

No you are our voodoo team, do you save your best of the season when you play Leigh? Or us it we save our worst for Widnes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes Barry, the vast majority of posters were not Leigh fans though, think about that one, Bradford, Toronto and Leigh get the most threads, Fev creeping up on the outside a nose in front of London, and now the yearling of York making an appearence. Good job we don't have to rely on SL clubs for something of interest to while away the hours, just saying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scubby Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 Given the quality of bids from Leigh, York and Toulouse in particular, it would be very fishy if Bradford were given the nod. On and off the field the club has been a basket case for the last few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Browny Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 I thought the video was great, did a good job of bringing out the atmosphere and passion Leigh can generate for big games. Did slightly get the giggles at the dodgy Rod Stewart tribute act though, I'd have cut that bit. I can confirm 30+ less sales for Scotland vs Italy at Workington, after this afternoons test purchase for the Tonga match, £7.50 is extremely reasonable, however a £2.50 'delivery' fee for a walk in purchase is beyond taking the mickey, good luck with that, it's cheaper on the telly.

The Blues Ox Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 Am I the only one hoping that Fev's bid is on 1 page but hastily changed to 2 pages when they see the size of Leigh's bid and their promo video is like something from This Is England. Then the outcry when they get in because in the RFL's words "The Featherstone Rovers bid was the most complete and factual bid put together".

Whippet13 Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 1 hour ago, Niels said: I think it is very well presented. Importantly it has the support of Andy Burnham, who was the former rugby league president. He usually speaks a lot of sense and is very aware of the Leigh community. To me, we are always wanting more investment for the north. Therefore it makes sense for those of us who live here to support a northern bid. Andy Burnham is a big Leigh supporter isn't he? I would expect him to support the bid if that's right, regardless of it's merits or de-merits. This isn't about economic investment in the North, that's for the national/local Government we voted into power to lead on. The selection committees' brief is to measure against what is best for the SL using a set criteria regardless of where the applicant clubs are based.
