Leigh fans letting the game down

[Sir Kevin Sinfield]

It’s shame things like this keep happening at certain clubs when we are trying to build our brand and image as a family sport, it really does let the game down and needs to be come down on hard at all levels from junior rugby league to super league.

I clicked on this cos I thought you must have been mistaken with which club you were talking about given Leigh and fans don't normally appear in the same sentence. (come on Harry, give me your best shot ) 

Well they were probably annoyed cos they'd missed their train home. Oh wait. 

I'll get my coat.

So why title your post “Leigh” fans letting the game down,when by your own admission it’s a small minority of imbeciles at most clubs.

The RFL or whoever is in charge should give out heavier fines, and then the clubs might try harder to root out the fooligan’s.

It also happens with other clubs:

Why not mention Halifax and Featherstone in the title? Leigh fans on here take a lot of..er...er.. "stick" and for the most part take it (reluctantly at times) in good humour.   But why poke them with a sharp stick on this one?

You should have read the good things that Clare Balding had to say about RL fans in the Times earlier this week to get a more balanced view.

Were you bullied by a Leigh fan at school, you're beginning to become obsessed with everything about Leigh, there is a life outside of this forum
