The council must be bonkers if they think that the Administrative Incompetents that are, the LSV,can operate the clubhouse. It is no secret I,m sure Mr Chairman will vouch that the the SMT @ Leigh Sports Village have wanted total control of the "Pavilion" since the stadium was handed over in 2008.

LSV have approx 24 employees,guesstimate salary £550,000. That takes some finding for a sports stadium that by its own admission can only take 40 fixtures per year. The rent for office space and tenancy agreements i would think/hope cover the utitilities and other running costs. I believe the original management structure for the Lsv called for a stadium manager to oversee the day to day running and responsibility to various staff (groundsmen,marketing, maintainance), answering to a board of directors made up of various council employees. looking through the archives i can find no advertised vacancies for a CEO or Operations Director. Ivory towers need to fall and the original vision needs to be revisited. A community stadium with affordable/quality spectator facilities. opposed to a facility sold to the highest bidder.

The original ''Leigh sports village prospectus'' is still on line from 2005?, makes interesting reading, leigh East new club house and pitches.

Because you have conned the council into having the tax payers of the borough subsidising your hobby???? Or was it just trapped wind??

Indeed they did.
Represented Leigh East very well.
