Re: Looks like leigh have good chance of being saved.

It's not just Margate that have problems. There's been little positive about Telford recently. Prospective buyers have failed to materialise, the manager Mick Jones has been sacked (although he was working for nothing), most of the players have refused pay cuts and the Commercial Manager has gone to Forest Green. Their best bet might be a takeover by a supporters' trust that's just been formed. Another option is to go into administration and hope for the best. Latest news is at http://www.shropshirestar.com/sport/...le_17119.shtml.

Personally, I'd be very sad to them leave the conference. The ground's just down the road for me and I've seen a number of top sides there, such as Spartak Moscow and Manchester United, as well as seeing most of their cup exploits in the 80s.
