I agree mish, Alan is a great bloke and he isn't like that at all, and our club has lost a real gem of a guy.

I disagree Mish I have nothing but respect for Alan and know out of all the volunteers and people I've worked with at the club he's by far and away the most professional and measured gentleman I've had the privilege it work with. I know Alan won't have made the decision lightly and would have thought it through.

In a nut shell a difference of opinion has occurred as Alan stated and Alan has unfortunately chosen to relinquish his duties with immediate effect.

None of us are above listening to anyone indeed I don't believe there has ever been a BOD as open and transparent.

No winners in this instance but it's important it isn't made into a big issue and we must as a club move on and keep on track.

Thanks

Andy

I agree Rob I don't think anyone said Alan wasn't.

Let's move on eh.

Andy

Please don't let this become a "Spanish Inquisition" page. Alan and Andy have been respectful and dignified and obviously do not want details to be in the public domain, lets just let Alan know that we are and will be very grateful for his undoubted hard work to such an excellent standard and hope to see him at games .
thank you very much Alan

Sorry to hear you felt you had no other option but to resign Alan, a big backward step by the BOM (whoever it was in that organisation).

I will miss reading your totally honest views that was often delivered as a true fan who wasn't worried what he had to say but never over stepped the mark.
It was quirky , topical and appropriate.

I do hope the match day magazine will retain the quality it had and also still be topical and not become a 'Thank you RFL' type publication lacking any form of wit thus making it as dull and bland as many other match day magazines.

Alan will be a tough act to follow.

No I damn well don't but I was trying to play it down. As already said it does no good to carry. It on.
Alan always reminded us dates and times articles had to be in for and as a contributor the club will find Alan really hard to replace, sad days I feel.

However I await the new editor getting in touch re the next programme!!!

Like Andy says - time to move on. What's done is done and no going back - just forwards.

Thanks everyone for the messages of support, but it never has been my style to criticise the club on here, and things aren't going to change, whatever my personal feelings about anything or anyone.

I will re-iterate that, despite any difference of opinion, it is my belief that the members of this BOM (all of them) are taking our club in the right direction. I'm sad not to be an active part of that, but I sure want to enjoy the ride.

Best wishes to my successor.

Who made you chief of the fun police you pompous ar$e! It's an unofficial fans forum - people can express whatever views they wish in whatever manner they wish to do it in line with the AUP.

I say good luck to your successor, thanks again Alan but like you say time to move on

We don't know what goes on behind closed doors, nor really is it our business, the BOD make changes as they see fit, if there is a difference of opinion so be it, Not being flippant.

Im sure the professionalism of the current setup means that like everything else they have done recently the difference of opinion may be taking us a step forward and may not be the negative everybody immediately thinks.

Could be worse, we could be re-branded the Leigh Bears again!!
