Did we ever get a chance of buying bits of the pitch?

Said chance will arise from various Westleyth outlets over the coming weeks

Come up ok for me LM - cheers



And whilst I can't be ar$ed logging in - why are the taking it down - H+S??

it was geting vandalised more and more every day

Links are working.



Only went there a couple of times as i lived in St Helens so watched them mainly but enjoyed it totally. Excellent fans though

In that case, is it being demolished by the council as a matter of public safety as I don't know who else would pay for the demolition, unless a decision is imminent on the planning permission?

Surprised the council didn't leave them to it for a few months - would have save em a few bob. Could have knocked it off our Council Tax

Maybe they have come to an alternative arrangement rather than Wi*an MBC having to fork out for demolishing it!

But 'alternative arrangements' still need to be paid for Plonk; forgive me for being a cynic, but maybe the planning application might go through a little more smoothly if the housing developers foot the bill for early demolition?

I was trying to say that in my last post but with a bit of tact

In a couple of months time you'll walk out of Asda and think there's something missing. A new view will replace HP with an historical local landmark gone forever.

We will only be left with the memories!

But if you live on the new estate being built, you wont have to walk as far to the shops

I think Asda will have gone bust or moved to new premises by the time these bloody houses get built

Maybe the "GEORGE" department of Asda will have moved over the road?

Do you know something we don't?

I can tell you that the Leigh Asda store is one of the biggest moneymakers in the Northwest (After Wi8an) They have been looking to expand for years and tried to buy the piece of spare land between Patak's and Sainsbury's!

Amen.



Like Matt said it's probably for the best that we move on into our new stadium and start a new era of Leigh Centurions.

I'm upset HP is going but obviously we have to move on now.



We've all got so many memories but I didn't want to see the old girl decay any further, it's really taken some stick the last 12 months or so from complete idiots who need flogging publically in my opinion.



RIP HP we'll all have many happy memories from the past

Glad the place isn't going to be left to rot away. We all have our memories of HP so it's good that it's finally going to make way for something new. Wonder if there'll be a few hauntings in whatever is built there, after all there were quite a few ashes spread on the HP turf.

I had a dream last night that just before the scoreboard was demolished the clock started working again

I watched it being demolished today and I've got to say it was very sad seeing all the seats being ripped out!

I'd like more pictures.... difficult for those working out of the town but these should be taken for prosperity.

Mr Chairman put me down for one

It was me who took the pictures at the top of the thread and I've got loads. I'm going to go every day to see what 'progress' is being made - I'm sorry but being new to this site I wasn't sure whether you could post photos!



If it's allowed then I'll post them with pleasure.
