I thought fans forums came about when the club was in the brown stuff and had no option but to be transparent (or at least tell us what they wanted us to know in order to extract cash) and needed to send out the begging bowl and rely on hand outs??

Do we not trust these new investors/ owners??? whatever they may be (BOM/BOD)??? as to me the news coming out of the club has never been as regular or of such a high standard and quality not to mention positive giving genuine hope for a bright future for the first time in many years.

I agree with Maurice above an event that has some purpose would be good but a room fun of nosy busy bodies wanting to myther directors and ask pointless questions doesn't really serve any point especially not anymore as it seems we finally have a board and management team to take us forward without begging or borrowing.

IMO we should all focus our efforts on getting behind these guys and offering help and assistance and doing whatever we can financially to back them weather that be a pound or a thousand pounds or even greater as a sponsor.

Not necessarily right now Frank, especially as the season has ended. I feel there is a place for them, from the view of personal communication with the supporters. I believe we have to utilise every possible means of communicating, and you can't beat the personal touch - provided it is done in a structured way.

I don't think a Fans Forum would be a good idea at the moment, there is a fair amount of dust that needs time to settle.

We would need Terry Waite to chair the Fans Forum at the moment .

An update, from the Leigh Centurions Communication Team, on the subject of a Fans' Forum

The club does intend holding a Fans' Forum before the end of 2013. Currently, the BOD has a number of urgent issues to address, such as the upcoming Sponsors Evening (to be held early next month) and of course the fluctuating debate on the structure of the Game.

That said, the BOD do wish to explain their ambitions and plans 'face to face' with the supporters, and listen to their views.

As an aside, the BOD also supports this Forum as a vital form of communication with supporters and has already taken on board a number of suggestions and words of caution, that have been posted on here.

Looks like some plans may have to go on hold until the structure of the game is sorted. Looks like that may not be sorted till after the world cup thanks to 7 self interested chairmen led by Lenaghan up the road.
