Quote leighonardo="leighonardo":ja6ssv1qWell my point is that prior to AT coming on board, there was an open fans meeting held in the MM Bar during October 2006, discussing a financial deficit and the clubs sorry state of affairs. We had no coach, no team, no CEO. We were all encouraged to help the club out by buying a season ticket, joining the lottery and increasing our LISA contributions as otherwise the future was looking very bleak, simply put.
The meeting was chaired from the clubs perspective by Mr Coffey and Mr Freer.
=#FF0000:ja6ssv1qRoll on to October 2011, and what have the club achieved under the present incumbernts? We all know the answer....:ja6ssv1q
So what are the barriers to finding new 'investment'?
I do wonder why Mr Ainscough was interested enough to come along to 'a few meetings' as Mr Freer informed us at the fans forum he did, but then ultimately decided that 'investing' into Leigh RL is not suitable for his circumstances right now.'"
will result in an increase in support
It doesn't , we are a ' luxury item ' , people dont ' Have ' to buy us , we are not a loaf of bread or a tin of beans
So why do people spend stupid amounts of money buying things they dont need ? they are convinced by advertising/marketing/sampling that they want it
We havent done any ' marketing/advertising/sampling for years , and until we do we will continue to struggle , as I put on this or another thread , Castleford are the model we need to emulate , they are a town of similar size to ourselves with a history of similar industry , they have built up a ' Brand ' that their population have bought in to , thats why they are where they are , and why we are where we are
.
, the power of advertising 
but if you feel you need to rest it feel free , put it down.
