Perhaps some people want to acquire rugby clubs with bags of tradition and potential?

Plenty millionaires throwing money at football, with most I'll bet losing millions

A rugby club should be a much more cost effective investment, though albeit lower key

They could buy the whole sport with what they are paying out for one fusball club, now that would be a great tax deductible expense.

And you are honestly convinced that the name of the club is what is keeping 'the missing millions' from attending......and all those potential big money investors??

Tell you what - you find someone with several million to sink into the club, and he can call it whatever he wants!!!

As a Leyther, you’re one of us the moment you come here to wear the shirt. I don't care where you were born, what colour you are, what religion you are, what language you speak. You're one of us, part of our culture, writing our history as you create your own, and making us stronger for it....

And does anyone else find it laughable that there are posters on here that support the motion to change the name, yet have the Centurions logo as their avatar???

I blame the education system!! :roll:

:lol: :lol: :lol:


I'd have the Leigh badge as my avatar if we were called Leigh Bears again, doesn't mean I like the name or badge.

So, why not just have the town crest then?? Seems a bit stupid to have something you detest as your avatar!!

You might as well have a W*gan badge up there!! :roll:

Possibly - at least in terms of merchandise

I haven't bought a new shirt since the Leigh Cent-ur-i-ons era started, and won't be doing so until the club goes back to being called Leigh Rugby and makes it out of decent quality

I did buy the unofficial traditional long sleeved cotton shirt with only the towns crest on - Majestic

When Frank and I were lads they were the "Comics".
Not seen much to change this in recent years.

We could revert and approach other well know, fairly local comics for some sponsorship - the comedy club is already quite famous throughout the UK!

The branding for the Leigh Centurian is completely wrong anyway, the Roman soldier on the badge is a legionary. The centurian wears a completely different head dress, we cant even get that right.
