Your subsequent posts offer good reasoning and rationale, I personally like your idea's there.
Yes, it all boils down to money, and we need to seek sponsors and business partners to bring it to fruition. Mr Ainscough was once (I believe) willing to offer support to an apprenticeship / scholarship style programme and we need more like minded people like him to buy in to it.
To be fair , I think the club recognises what needs to be done and there is currently an awful lot of work being done behind the scenes to that degree.

Leigh Centurions [iabsolutely must[/i [i'give to receive'[/i in this respect.
Far more than any short term benefit of a current World Class signing, (see attendance increases, feel good factor &/or minor success) the foundations of the club are paramount to longevity & achievement.
Create & develop an Academy, build, enhance & nuture the very best of relationships with our local amateur clubs & the rewards will be significant.

At what cost ?

| To be honest MC,you seem to have built your model elsewhere.From reading your posts there seems to be bridges to be built.Hopefully that bridge will be built,instead of déjà vu.

I'm not sure what the current funding from the RFL is for having an academy in SL.Surely stabilty to secure funding for an academy must be based on stability of the professional club!

| Serious post time.
We sit between the best junior/academy set up in English rugby of any code at Wigan, and established SL clubs in Wire and Saints - the best kids will aspire to those clubs for the foreseeable future.
To build an alternative will take a number of things. Time, it won't happen overnight. SL status- without it you simply work with your local amateur clubs to produce more better players and pick up the ones who get left out at 19. Investment/will - if you are not committed and prepared to fund it then don't bother. Reputation - to attract you have to have a great one.
