Quote: Walt Mooney Fan Club "It is a council owned 'community facility' (or that is what it was marketed as originally!!) no different from swimming baths or libraries......and both of those are 'free' to use!!
I don't deny that the council should be trying to recoup their financial outlay on the building costs, and that the facilities need maintaining - but this should be a long term goal. It should be about 'realistic' running costs, and all the community sharing the financial burden for the benefit of all......not 'profit at all cost'!!!'"

Unlike the `community facilities` mentioned, the Leigh Sports Village is i believe managed by a private company (LSV co) with a board of directors. from the CEO downwards their wage bill alone will be in the region of approx 300k per annum. Assuming they charge centurions 10% of ticket sales on a 2k crowd x 13 = 31k.. a mere drop in the ocean towards the Village upkeep and more than likely doesn`t even cover the cost of fuel for the grounds maintenance vehicles.

Please do not send me any PM's I dont check this board often enough to be able to answer them, use my e mail add please fjparkinson@virginmedia.com All posts on this message board by me are mine I am NOT a representative in any way shape or form of ANY Rugby League club.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_2032.gif



Peter please read what I originally wrote then tell me that the football riots didnt happen during the 70's 80's and 90's and that Hillsborough, Heyshall, and Glasgow disasters didnt happen.
The lsv is goverened (as are ALL FOOTBALL STADIA) by the same regulations as are the football league clubs.
Matt also works at a Football, league ground and probably knows a little about the regulatuons that govern that ground well its news day again Peter as those same regulations govern the LSV stadium.
Im not talking about Genesis Im talking about WHERE THEY PLAY, that governs the regulations not the league, its the same laws. Or am I just icon_frustrated.gif

I just wish peple would read whats written and not what they think is written.

Think they managed to get away with it a little more at HP because they simply weren't the same number of stairwells and exits etc. It must be said that there's probably half the number of the stewards on duty at the LSV as there was during the latter part of last season, but it's got as much to do with the council being scared of a lawsuit than anything else.

The place just isn't designed for non-league football, nor indeed Championship rugby to a certain extent. All well and good with hindsight, but maybe the place is just too big in terms of both capacity and operations.

Maybe, but on the other hand, it's on the lower end of what's acceptable (capacity wise) for Super League, and that has to be the rugby clubs aim.

It's a difficult situation, but the town has a modern facility and, unfortunately, the modern rules to go with it.

And if anything Dave you've merely backed up Peter's point, with Halifax historically being a league club and only in our league by an accident of finances.
