They must drink in Leigh as well, do you also get them telling you how they used to go all the time, that every director has robbed the club and that they wont bother until SL?

I'm sure the Albion's tills will be ringing to Leyth dollars as per on Sunday anyroad, albeit not from my offshore account

My favourite kind of fan.

Especially when they have a go at ME for contuining my support throughout these "tough" times. (I happen to enjoy going to see Widnes.)

We bumped into a couple of these ' fans ' last friday as we walked through Leigh after disembarking the coach from Wakey

" Have you been watching Leigh ? " , fairly obvious considering there was 5/6 of us wearing replica shirts at 10.30 pm on a friday night , but that question alone gives you an idea of their mentality

" Leigh are crap ", was the next statement , Have you watched them this year ? , er no , so when was the last time you watched them ?

" They were good when Millward was there "

The Albion got new owners a while back and they have made some nice changes to the pub, you get them bandwagon fans in most pubs around Widnes. Whenever they ask me i just say we won 90 nil (that's my default reaction score)

My mate used to work there and his sister assistant manager, heard its been re opened but only on fridays, saturdays and sundays.

No one have Patto in their team for Friday if fit? Widnes' most under rated player imo.

Team for Leigh/crowd : Wed Apr 08, 2009 10:56 pm  

Wildbore
Gaskell
Varkulis
Toa
Flynn
Thackeray
Webster
Ostick
Smith
Gannon
Doran
Fletcher (Simm if he aint fit)
Duffy

Kavanagh
Grady
Thompson
Simm/Strong/Mills

i would probably agree. hopefully get 4,500-5,000 crowd with it being a derby as well.

another point i have asked this before does anybody know when Bannister is back?

Well TKL turns up for us and plays well too.


No wonder you Leythers are feeling all bitter and twisted about it.

Well don`t know about that, you lot have played Fax twice first time he was garbage and the second time he didn`t turn up.

Toa didnt like Leigh, they didnt make him feel wanted, you know you have to make your club like a family Maurice. I notice the same situation is now transfering to the fans of Leigh, the club dont have that warm glow about them like the Vikings family do. Toa is now part of our family again after a brief visit to our poorer relatives from up Wigan way.

Must just be Leigh because Mark Roberts has come back to Fax too after a year in Leigh. They said he was rubbish for them too but has come back and played immense for us...

He was injured in that Fax game and missed the next Fax game as a result. You see, if you base everything on those two games while ignoring the rest of the games he played, it may give you the same jaundiced point of view that the Leythers constantly seem to look for in their ex-players.

Toa has been excellent so far this season.
