So in a nutshell, what you are saying is that the grant recieved on the back of Leigh East included a sum of £74,000 to fund a development officer for 3 years. This was not made known to Leigh East and was pocketed by Wigan Borough Council or someone else but definitely noit Leigh East, and to add insult to injury they want £60,000 in rent a year off you.



Well I hope you mnake sure it gets published in other places than here and you either sue the backsides off them or the Sports Council or whoever it was reclaims the grant due to improper use. Perfsonally I am appalled if the above is true

May have something to do with the work going on around the ground. Bollards being put up all round the ground to stop people ram raiding the shop o wait a minute, ram raiding legends bar for takings o wait a minute. Why they putting these up again

East have no reason to make it up, so I've no doubt it's true that it was part of the grant, but that doesn't necessarily mean it's been pocketed, it may never have been claimed. That doesn't make it right though as East or whoever could have used that money for the purpose it was intended.

official line is "to stop people parking/driving on the paths"

i think its a load of bollards

The grant hasnt been called off yet as we havnt signed the lease, but they werent goinng to tell us about it and thats for certain.Oh what a tangled web we weave when what we practice is to................ guess the word

Does it start with D and rhyme with weave

There's four caravans at the LSV site, with small dogs running around. There was a battered van early this morning. There's a video surveillance van nearby. Maybe there's a funfair at the Harriers centenary on Saturday, and that's why they're there.

i wouldnt fancy using that car park tonight, feel sorry for the lads using the 3g pitches

Well there will be an abundance of pegs for sale, and cheap tarmaccing of drives on offer

I'd have security watching it 24/7 till they leave

Surprised there haven't been any comments from Widnes fans yet

They`ll be pig sick of being moved on again..............
