I can see where he is coming from. You brought what, 100 fans last year and half of them wanted to fight. On the rules you deserved to be relegated, personally apart from Donny i thought you were the worst team we played all year. Yes you will probobaly win the league next year but if you had spent the same amount of money you will next season as you did the last you wouldnt be in that position. On the plus side you have always got to admire the Leythers optimism, for some reason their fans think they have a chance of winning the NRC next season so they can apply for SL.

200/250 and 5/6 , get it right , if we get the chance to stay in the Championship great , if we dont , fine , we'll happily play the clubs in the lower division , who will no doubt all be looking to ' bloody our noses ' as we will be their cup final

Now that is harsh. And whats more one of your accusations is over estimated and the other underestimated.

Re our squad for next season however I agree with you.Oh and I thought we were bad last season too.

I like Fax folk in general but lets be honest for a team that had a good few years in SL and has been very competitive in recent seasons you fail to ignite the interest of the town looking at your gates and away support.

I remember cheering for you at widnes, imagine if you had gone down that day against a team backed by Hetherington and his loanees.

Typical biased bull from you, our position in the League was deserved but we beat several Top 5 teams ,Widnes twice and really should of beaten you lot at home.

If we do stay up which would make sense if Gateshead go down I think you will see a much better team than you did this year,and deep down you know that we would be a threat.

Re the fans, over last 5 years I bet very few teams have brought more fans to the Shay than Leigh have, pity Yorkshire fans don't reciprocate.

Anyway whatever happens we will still have as much chance as Fax of getting a Franchise,which for both teams is very little chance,no matter how many "boxes" you tick.

That's fighting talk.

Now that insolvency is official and 9 point penatly will apply, I guess it depends on whether Gateshead take the hit on this months points tally, or start next on -9. Or is that up to the RFL, does anyone know?
