Not from Leigh then?

In fairness, no he isn't! Although it's not exactly rocket science to jump on a bus to Manchester/Wigan/Bolton or even get a local train from Atherton. Was a good crowd of us on the train up to Barrow last season from all of the jewels of the North West!

If the club ran a bus from Atherton on game days on would boost your crowds.

It's been looked in to but the bus service that runs past Atherton station to Leigh is every 8 minutes Monday-Saturday and even then I think every 15 minutes on a Sunday so the service is already there really.

Of course he can't. Only individuals can go bankrupt. Companies can't.

Either way, we went through financial difficulties but the company in existence now is still the same one as previously.

Its just that after the play-off game there was lots of press of impending doom and appealing to the heavens for help. Now theres a squad full of good players and everything looks rosy.

Thats full credit to the fundraisers on a job very well done.

We do have a good squad but that is because us and Swinton are the only two Championship clubs west of the Pennines.

Regarding our survival' in the main it is down to the club borrowing money from the rfl and cutting down on costs not least wages for players and the fact that we have a small squad.

Fans have helped too of course.
