Sports   (Talk about balls here.)

Arthur Thomas has been a breath of fresh air to the Leigh Centurions,he has kept the club going in the last four years and we are all very grateful for that,it was Arthur who has contributed out of his own pocket and got Leigh were they are today with a very very good Championship team,He has deserved his well earned retirement and we all wish him well, but Arthur is now 70 plus and wants to hand over to a younger man, there has been a deafening silence from the club,since his announcement yesterday.I wonder if there is an investor waiting in the wings,what is certain is that we could do with at least another thousand through the turnstiles every home match. but the Leigh public seem to be apathetic and I dont know why,all I can say is that the days of my childhood in the 40s and 50s when there were regularly 13,14,15,000 and more going to Hilton park have gone for ever,too many other attractions I fear,however Peawapp as long as his heart is ticking over will be watching Leigh and I know a lot more like myself. so what will happen without Arthur I know not but he has done well and I wish him the very best in the future.
