As much as we were disappointed, angry at the person in the middle, let down, and gutted we stayed to clap them off BUT I do understand those that chose not to stay and clap also as for booing i'm sure it was aimed at the ref for his ability to ignore the constant off side from Sheffield from start to finish ,I was convinced Millward would have pointed this out to players and so expected them to move off the line quicker but they didn't .

I left with 90 seconds to go - in your eyes that makes me less than you.

However I had my 10 year old nephew with me who I had to drop off in Bickershaw (he is in school today) before driving home to Appley Bridge so that my son could catch a train to join his friends in Manchester. What did you have to get back to?

I paid £48 quid for the tickets last night and over the years have spent tens of thousands sponsoring, investing in and supporting the various guises of Leigh RL.

I also played the game for many years and have the creaking joints to show for it so I know what it takes to pull on a shirt and take the field.

So don't criticise me when you don't know me.

You are not the only person who has put their money where their mouth is so stop behaving like it.

What does that have to do with anything?

Why don't you just accept that you have been wrong in your critical statements?

I object to the sanctimonious twaddle written by some people on here - I pay my money and have the perfect right to choose when I leave, irrespective of what the result is.

Don't judge me - I would award you the same courtesy.

The last thing we want now is a witch-hunt - Leyther against Leyther, or Leyther against the team. The vast majority of those who went last night are true fans - i.e. they turned up to watch.

Whether they leave early or not is up to the individuals - at least they turned up in the first place, where many didn't. (for whatever personal reasons)

We're all gutted, but right now there are more important things to focus on, like starting the battle to get our club back on its feet.

1,800 -2,000 fans, all pulling together, can make a heck of a difference.

Because if you would have left anyway , the result would not have had a bearing on your decision , therefore you would not have been party to any criticism

However I'm fairly sure the vast majority that left were leaving due to the result [ notice I say result , not performance ] , as I said the strength of a club is measured in the loyalty of it's fans , not it's bank balance , and last night showed us how strong a club we have

Re: Disgraceful : Fri Sep 23, 2011 4:30 pm  

Steve, you need to let this go. I saw how emotional you were last night and read your comments after last week. The fans who paid last night should not be your target, your morals/opinions of what is expected of a fan are just that, let others have theirs.

The lads should not have been booed it was poor coaching that saw us peak to soon (as per last season except we had a superior squad this time).

I always remember Tony Smith at Huddersfield in our lge talking about momentum and peaking at the right time. He liked to get the best from his sides early on the season get in a good position then drop the intensity and take the foot off the gas leading into the final few games of the regular season keeping things fresh for the buisness end.

Fev didnt set the world on fire early but have hit the straps when it really matters and Sheff have a knack under Ashton of timing it right and getting big results at this time of year that do not reflect there form in regular season games.

RL in Britain like Aus now is all about the play offs and ultimatley the GF winners.

Millward failed in my opinion given the squad and backing he had any of the current Championship coaches and even people like Steve Mac and Stanky at Hornets wud have at least equalled the achievements hes made.

Cas have droped a bollock Maurice lyndsey wigan style.
