I’m hoping to work along side Trevor Barton in the near future on getting the club back to a suitable financial position. Has I have been reading some of the posts and comments on here some people are behind Trevor Barton but a small group are against him, and believe me Trevor Barton has only got what is best for the club at heart.
Now looking at a various number of sources there are a few problems within the club from what I can see not just on the field but also off it. When I say off it I don’t mean there is trouble in the Board Room I mean how the club is marketed and the commercial side.
Now I have not had chance to meet with the commercial team yet but I hope to do this in the next few weeks and see what can be done to publicise the team and also gain a wider fan base and increase attendances.
I attended the game on Thursday against the Sheffield Eagles and all credit to them they where the better team from the start and fully deserve a place in the Grand Final, has you know a few Leigh Players will be leaving at the end of the season and also the Coach Ian Millward will be taking over at Super League club Castleford Tigers. Now from what I have heard the club are working hard numerously around the clock to get the right person in to take over the Head Coaches role. Which I am sure when the new Coach is appointed he will bring some great ideas to the coaching side of the club and can not see why we cant regain the Northern Rail Cup Next year and also challenge for a place in the Grand Final come the end of the season.
Now going back to what is happening off the field my main issues are:

§ Season Ticket Prices
§ Match Day Tickets
§ Merchandise
§ Corporate Sponsor and Packages
§ Pre Match and Half Time Food and Drink
§ Attendances
§ Matchday Atmosphere

Now your probably wondering what my ideas are well after I have spoken with Trevor Barton I hope I can either be at the fans forum with my ideas or at the next Leigh Independent Supporters Association, however in the mean time if you have any ideas you would like to be heard then please don’t hesitate to send me a message on here or to my email which is Jamesfish1990@hotmail.co.uk

Kind Regards
James Fish

Totally agree Fred, and Linda I am not trying to detract from the great work you and the LISA organisation does its just a thought.
The concept though is perfect for a rebrand, what with trying to establish a Centurions Community.

Quote: TV BOY "I think LISA volunteers may want to watch the game but I could be wrong. Also It would not supprise me if EMC pull out they also take everything with them i.e beer pumps and hot cupboards.'"


When my Family took over the Franchise/Lease for a cafe/restaraunt in a Garden centre the fixtures and all catering equipment came as part of the deal as did the time we took over the catering at a large manufacturing facility.

seeinS members once voted against some LISA money being used to puchase the 21s team a training kit, I doubt that very much.

How is education supposed to make me feel smarter? Besides, every time I learn something new, it pushes some old stuff out of my brain. Remember when I took that home winemaking course, and I forgot how to drive?:icons077e_files/4864-863FALH-msnicons.jpg



Quote: Leyther_Matt "Trouble is, would Cheshire Catering be prepared to pay the going rate for the franchise, especially as I hear they've reduced their serving times etc at the Harrow? Same goes for any other company in that they'd need the initial outlay of buying the franchise from the LSV.'"

Cheshire Catering (Warren Bibby) no longer have the Harrow. He does however run the Bars and catering in the Village Club (Legion) in Culcheth and Leigh Golf Club.

kcab sfrawdder 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



I'd suggest everybody calms down a bit on the catering issue , it is highly unlikely that the LSV management would allow anybody but a recognized catering company to run the catering/bars at the stadium , I would also think that the hardware ( fridges,coolers,cookers ) also belongs to EMC , to purchase those off EMC would be highly expensive


The idea of LISA or volunteers running it is just not viable or going to happen
