History

The club was founded in 1896 and was known as Horwich RMI F.C. until 1995.^[1] RMI was one of two football clubs founded at the locomotive-building works of the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway; it was started at the main works in Horwich. The other club was started at the Newton Heath works and later became known, and famous, as Manchester United.^[2] RMI played in various non-professional conferences over its first 90 years of existence, primarily in the Lancashire Combination, before moving up to the North West Counties League in 1982,^[3] and then onto the Northern Premier League the next year.^[4] The Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway (L&YR) was a major British railway company before the 1923 Grouping, although in 1922 it had already entered into a working agreement with the London and North Western Railway. ...

Manager Les Rigby led RMI to the final of the GMAC Cup in 1988 against Weymouth, which was played on the sloping pitch of Grundy Hill. The home field advantage was credited by many, including Rigby, for spurring RMI's victory in the match.^[5] Weymouth F.C., also known as The Terras, are a Dorset-based English football club based in the town of Weymouth, who play in the Conference National. ...

During the 1994-1995 season,^[6] the club realised their ground Grundy Hill would not be able to help the clubs' prospects of achieving success up the football pyramid, made the decision to relocate from Horwich seven miles south to Hilton Park in Leigh, home of the rugby league club Leigh Centurions. As part of this deal, a new company, Grundy Hill Estates, was formed to take over the ownership of the shared ground.^[7] Once the move had been finalised and agreements had been made to share the 10,000 capacity stadium, the club officially changed their name to Leigh RMI to reflect their new surroundings. RMI lost its first match at Hilton Park in March 1995 to Boston United 4-0, and ended up being relegated at the end of the 1995 season.^[2] The 1994-1995 season was the 115th season of competitive football in England. ...

In 2000, five years after this move, Leigh RMI reached the top tier of the Conference, the highest level of non-league football in England. After a few seasons at this level, and despite the fact that things seemed to be going well for the club on the pitch, Leigh RMI faced a placement in the new Conference North division for 2004-05 due to their second from the bottom finish in the 2003-04 season. The club was spared relegation that season due to two factors: that the lack of a promotable Northern Premier League club kept the team finished above in the table them from relegation and that Margate were demoted from the Conference for failing to meet ground standards. Leigh RMI's reprieve only lasted one season, however, as they were relegated after finishing bottom of the Conference table in 2004-05 with only 18 points from 42 games.^[8] The Football Conference is a football league at the top of the National League System of non-League football in England. ...

The season after this relegation, Leigh RMI hosted F.C. United of Manchester, the football club started in reaction to the purchase of Manchester United by American businessman Malcolm Glazier, for FCUM's first ever match in July 2005, a friendly that ended in 0-0 draw.^[9] Leigh RMI's ownership had previously offered to merge with FCUM prior to this friendly in 2005, but the clubs decided against such a merger. "It would seem hypocritical to some degree, in light of the Glazer events, if a team came into being by taking over another club," said Chairman of RMI Supporters' Club Peter Lowe at the time.^[10] Football Club United of Manchester (FC United of Manchester, FC United, FCUoM or FCUM for short) is a semi-professional English football club based in Bury. ...

The 2005-06 season saw the club finish second from bottom in the Conference North, and the club thereby faced relegation to the Northern Premier League, but RMI gained yet another reprieve from relegation after Canvey Island resigned from the Conference National.^[8] In the 2006-07 campaign, RMI avoided relegation more easily, despite finishing 17th and in the bottom half of Conference North.^[8] As of 6 October 2007, Leigh RMI is again facing a relegation fight as they stand on the threshold of the relegation zone in 19th place.^[11] RMI removed manager Stuart Humphreys and his assistant Andy Roscoe on 15 October 2007 and hired Steve Bleasdale to manage due to "the fact of the current low league position and falling gates something had to be done rapidly to improve our prospects," according to a club spokesman.^[12] The 2005â€“06 season was the 126th season of competitive football in England. ...

Supporters

After moving from Grundy Hill in Horwich, RMI's support has always been considered light.

In the same vein as Hilton Park, the new stadium will be shared with Leigh Centurions, and the majority of the stadium being seated, although one end of the stadium will be a terraced area due to the demands of supporters of both clubs.

Leigh goalkeeper David Felgate, who was then 38 years old, received wide-spread plaudits for his sparkling performance in the Fulham match,^[14] which prompted then-Fulham boss Kevin Keegan to declare that Felgate's goalkeeping was "the best I've ever seen at any level."^[15] This article is about the English FA Cup. ...
