| Im still wondering how teams spending 1million per year are going to compete with teams spending 1.8million in that middle 8.
The way things seem at the moment its probably something we wont have to worry about though.

| The opportunity is for one of the bottom four to be battered and in a mess come play offs, four home games for the top four gives a slight advantage but year two will be the best chance

The teams who receive 1.8m have to fund their academies and other things out of that.The disparity is
more like 1.3m/1m.

| I am concerned with any team that gets well under 5000 crowds and wants to go fulltime. There is no way that a club getting 2000 crowds plus sponsorship can afford to go Fulltime. Its OK having a sugar daddy but what happens when his circumstances change- Mr Thomas for example was bankrolling Leigh and then could afford to and then Leigh were in the brown stuff. I would be worried more than excited if I was a Leigh fan to be honest.

Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity
Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike
SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done
But he with a chuckle replied
That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it!:9005.jpg |

An extra half a million quid from SKY just about makes it doable, strangely the plan that Leigh are now looking to implement isnt a million miles away from what I wanted them to do 10 years ago, but no bugger would listen back then, they said I was barmy
Funny how things come round ![Laughing icon_lol.gif](images/smilies//icon_lol.gif)

| My Fax friends you sound do cynical ![Shocked icon_eek.gif](images/smilies//icon_eek.gif) ,we at Leigh have NO sugar daddies , just a hard working committed BOM who are determined to push forward for success .Around 6-8 hardworking Businessmen plus a very hard working new CEO in Rob Parker , who has brought in many new Sponsers , with more to come , you will also find the Contracts for Riddy and Brierley only come in force next season , and others will follow .
We also have other moneyspinners like Centurion TV , which has a fair few subscribers , and LISA which still continues to raise funds , myself being a Fundraiser for the Club ,I say to you Faxers don't be cynics , and back bite and Catcall , try to emulate our Club , stop the Squabbling with Fax Town , and concentrate on your own Future before you are left behind .
I would much rather see Fax with us in the Top 2 than Fev , Sheff , or the Bullfrogs .Charlie knows . ![Wink icon_wink.gif](images/smilies//icon_wink.gif) .

It isnt me who thinks ' Competitivness ' in SL can be achieved on less than 4,000 averages, but you have a business plan that says it can, so yes maybe it is me

I hear the idea came from a tip off - "Have you tried selling Easter eggs at Easter?!" I hope I'm not about to take the gloss off their next big initiative, but I hear they're going to sell Christmas trees in December! ![Wink icon_wink.gif](images/smilies//icon_wink.gif) Also, in an incredible gesture to their fans, they are currently selling GF tickets on sale or return, up to the second week of the play-offs. ![Wink icon_wink.gif](images/smilies//icon_wink.gif)
