2132 views in less than 5 days on the new forum and to think one committee member said to me 4 weeks ago that nobody bothers with the forum? typically out of touch!

It's not looking good at junior level and I heard today that our ladies team are struggling , hope it's not true . Social media is massive all major sports club use it to there advantage , all major companies use it . The ones who don't use it are called dinorsores . I suppose this will become the main unofficial forum for leigh east in the future so well done Wez and well done to everyone at leigh east who are working hard to sort the club out , I hope you get the club back to the great times it once had

Keith, Ladies Team has folded, majority crossed the border to eat pies. Final opportunity to see them together under the guise of Whitworth Warriors in the main final at Featherstone on Easter Sunday.

What's the reasoning for the ladies folding? They have won trophies for the last 2/3 years they should be going from strength to strength, or have they to been affected with what's happened at the club over the last couple of years? LIVING THE DREAM

Couple of reasons, League wanted to move them up to Premier Division but the Ladies could not commit week in week out to have a full strength team to compete at the higher lever due to work commitments, also appears to be issues over commitment of the coach & backing from the committee - in the end time ran out, they want to play rugby, refuse to go to the 'dark side' so crossed the border to eat pies.
Went to watch Pies against Miners, interesting to see the two o/s players for the pies were Leigh East Ladies & despite a large squad more than half were from Leigh East.
Heart goes out to the young Thompson girl from Miners, horrific injury though an accident, pity Miners coach a Grade 1 plonker who thought he knew it all despite experienced nurses & qualified 1st Response people being on hand to assist prior to Paramedics attending.

I can't believe your calling their coach who is an experienced Police Officer? He's just seen his player sustain a very serious injury. Until we stop maintining this obsession with Miners we will never get any respect. Have they been on message boards calling us while we have been a laughing stock? Lets get our house in order and get our own house in order.
