We should be really excited with what Paul and Dukes have achieved in such a short time under immense pressure. The start we have had is fantastic I am sure we will be in the running with Fev and fax this season no problem on that front.

However like I said in my last post its not just on the pitch that matters its off the pitch too. We have to walk before we can run, lets not forget we are a club in debt, this years monies from the RFL are paying last years tax bill so finances are very tight.

If we average 2000 spectators per game we cover our cost and pay off some debt, 2400 per game we will be debt free by the end of the season. Under 2000 say 1600 we are losing money and will have no choice but to cut cost. So just think when we played Fax the other week 1,300 fans, we lost money and this season that will be one of our biggest games!!!

We need more revenues into this club, biggest revenues are from ticket receipts and LISA with a number of small sponsors. We don't have an Arthur Thomas, decent sponsor or revenues from LSV like we had at HP

If we want to be successful and follow in the footsteps of Widnes into super league we have to have a plan. Relying on the fan base, LISA won't cut it you only need to do the basic maths to realise that.

Its not going to be easy there is so much work to do, but what worries me the most it is in areas that as a club we have always failed, planning and finance!

What has been achieved so far is fantastic, better than anyone could expect but we all have to keep our feet firmly on the ground.

I believe in this club and together we can make this happen if we have a decent plan with realistic goals!

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



No we should n`t.

There must be plenty who watch both Leigh and a togger team. Makes sense that people who do both can at least get to the game. Not an issue once we get to the end of May until August.

No doubt there are, as well as a lot of folks who like spending time with their families on a sunday.
We go with what the club have decided regards our particular playing day.

But we need to get as many people through the gates as possible. If it was City v United at the same time that would reduce the gate by quite a fair percentage I would think.

You cannot keep chopping and changing every match just because there is another local match on. It would get far too confusing and disruptive - big national events are different (we all support England - or most do). You might end up losing as many fans as you gained by being flexible.
