What about people like Brian Bowman who was an administrator/chairman??
People of this ilk have done a lot for our great club.
By the way, I saw Brian in the boardroom on Sunday following the batley game. Think he missed the back end of last season.

A players association should be what it says in the title, a players association. Coaches could be honorary members without voting rights etc. I would leave it at past coaches only, once you include all and sundry it dilutes the purpose of the association. |

Brian is a honouree life member and part of the furniture at our club and needs no invitation.
Brian had a few games away from the club towards the back end of last season but that is now the past and the great man is back were he belongs thankfully.
I shared a drink with Brian on Sunday who was present along with his lovely wife Marion, John Massey and John Stringer just to name a few people in his company.
He believes we will top the league this season and if he says so who am I to argue as he's forgotten more about RL than a baby like me.
Welcome back Brian more great news for Leigh Centurions. |

I have lots of mates all ex players , amateur and pro and there is nothing like it in the world than getting together and having a good old belly laugh , a good chat and a few beers .
The past players association dinners were fantastic , players , ex players , coaches , ex coaches , admin staff and past admin and supporters and ex supporters all having a good night together and raise a few bob'"
I wouldn't have thought so Keith this club under our Directorship is inclusive not exclusive.
I'm sure the past players is destined for success and any former coaches of the club are also integral figures in the make up of our clubs history and would be welcomed by myself and my fellow directors.
You are welcome always pal. |

This thread isn't about the club, it is about the Players Association.  |

Quote Leigh CPA="Leigh CPA"Of course coaches have been an important part of the club - without them we wouldn't have got picked!
Obviously it is a players association, however, we have discussed the idea of having 'associate' members. How we do this we haven't decided but it is something we are thinking about!
Who would we class as an associate member? Do we just include coaches? What about strength & fitness coaches, medical staff? (My wife Karen spent nearly 10 years as physio!) It is something we need to get right.
We are open to ideas, so please send us some! leighcpa@gmail.com

I presume the players association is going to be working with the Heritage Numbers when that is released (should be very interesting and I'm looking forward to it), that should be one of the main purposes of the players association, keeping the history of the club alive. I think that should be the key to associate membership, how important people were to the history of the club, in 20 or 50 or 100 years people will want to know that Paul Rowley was the coach that got us into Super League and John Roddy was the chairman with an excellent board round him that secured the future of the club in the top flight, I don't think there'll be quite as much interest in who was water carrier or ball boy at the time (despite the essential job they do). |

With all due respect there are circumstances where there will be interest in who the water carrier was...there's one at the club now, probably been there for 15 years+, I wouldn't like to put a number on the amount of lifelong friendships he's made at the club. |

| I talk on a regular basis to an ex-coach of ours , one Tommy Dickens , he always speaks highly of the Club and says how both he and brother Martin enjoyed their days at Leigh , he told one story of an Old guy who always gave him Grief when he came out at Hilton Park , near the Dug -out , it may have been Salfordlad  , he said even after winning the Second Division League , this guy asked him , when are you pi44ing off back to Wigan .  .Could have been WISIWYG though . |
