Quote: TV BOY "Firstly I totally agree with Advocatus's post.
Winning and winning well is the only way we will fill the LSV with paying fans. [size
Second I agree with Lynda this is a fans forum and I also think it gets a bit boring at this time of year. Not saying it's always boring but the best and most interesting posts are when we have been playing. At the moment we are all like kids who can't wait for Christmas.
Thirdly I don't think that there is one fan who comes on here that denies the fact that the current BOM are doing a fantastic job but for a director to say that this forum has had a detrimental effect on the success of this club is totally wrong and a gaff in my opinion.
Third. Starbug, instead of going all around the houses say exactly what your marketing of a game would be to get people in.
Fourth. When a thread has gone so far off topic I think the mods should put a stop to it. As Reffy said this was about Ryan going to London.
Those are just my opinions and I hope I am allowed them. Without being a thorn in the side of the club I love.'"
My main purpose of posting on here for me is to give the loyal fans of the club (lets not forget I am also a fan first and foremost and will always be a fan even if not involved with the club in the future) truth, honesty and facts and to keep at bay untruths, dishonesty and non factual information.
Many people have worked hard for many years at the club to try and produce the goods and this forum at times has been a breeding ground of negativity and lies and while not many people actually post here many people read it not just our own fans but fans of other clubs and even people at the RFL.
Everyone's entitled to an opinion even me and that's mine and its shared by people new and old. If its a gaff or im wrong well so be it.
When you type into Google Leigh Centurions this website is in the top two or three hits, taking away the emotion and putting a business head on can you honestly say if you were looking to grow this business and attract people to our great club you would like them to have stumbled across some of the nonsense that's been put on here in the past??
I've read these pages for many years and some of the stuff I used to read actually put me off putting myself forward and money up and sponsoring the club or offering to get involved in any official capacity, I wonder how many others feel or have felt the same??
Going back to marketing not specifically aimed at Steve we haven't overnight been able to enlist a army of volunteers or staff and haven't got a big bag of money either so its not as much ideas were looking for but people willing to come and put their hand up to actually do something. Like the other thread on posters, yes we have posters yes wed like to see a poster in every place in Leigh but it takes resources which are still as yet thin on the ground.
People seem to be too busy to offer help but always have the time to jump behind a keyboard and critise.
Anyway back on topic Ryan's going nowhere and Leigh Centurions are in the best shape I can remember for many years so onwards and upwards.
Cheers
Andy
