Perhaps I've been getting this wrong then. For years we've been encourged to spread the word, bring a friend etc etc. Apparently this is irrelevant and the few that already turn up bear the cost between them. Never mind the idea was there. It's alright dealing with the here and now, but what about next season, season after and so on or do we just have perennial here and nows? Have we not spent years lurching from one crisis to the next without any apparent realistic forward planning? Who remembers the year that we gave SL contracts to players and then didn't get promoted?

Already in the pipeline is that one Peter, we had a very good one ourselves when at Hilton Park but like everything else it went west when Arthur started to bankrole the club we all became complacent, but like the phoenix we shall arise.

In some respects one of the worst things that happened to Leigh RL was Super League. Before we attained that lofty height we had a cracking "family club" you attended the match, had a few pints after, kids all played together etc etc. SL was achieved and all stopped and then the move to LSV.

True...... a lot of money was spent after the matches in the Mick Martyn bar, with the disco etc.

This is something that needs to get going at the LSV.... BUT charging each season to be allowed in the bar is a no no IMO as it puts people of the extra cost - the LSV/Leigh Rlfc will earn money by stopping this (could also have a table selling shirts etc like is currently done in the legends bar).

I think it is a case of priorities. Firstly, we need a club in existence in the first place. And then shaping the club and attracting new fans comes later.

One of the good things I've noticed is that through Trevor, the club is reaching out to people to come and help. This can only encourage engagement and hopefully, the news spreads that good thigns are happening at Leigh and new supporters will want to be a part of it.

Very welcome as Arthur Thomas and his money were, in a sense, the feeling of ownership amongst the fans was lost as a result.

Now as fans, we are being asked to grow up and be responsible for the future of the club. I think that is a good thing.

Is there a charge for the 'Legends Bar' these days? there was always a corporate lounge at HP the difference being at the LSV us mere mortals are allowed in for a fee, or is the suggestion that people who pay a premium shouldn't get special treatment?
