| My two pence whether you like it or not.
Context. I contribute to LISA, TSYD & SuperLeigh Lottery + I have put my £25 in to sponsor 2 players & a coach this season *my choice* I have not & will not be renewing my ST this year *my choice* , well, I could have renewed my ST but a fairly recent change in circumstances means that I would then have to cancel all of my other contributions, so partly choice partly circumstance.
This season I will miss a few home games, as I do most seasons, however in previous seasons I have used quite a few days from my annual leave, something I am not prepared to do at our current level, hence no ST but I can still support the Club through other avenues & I will still get to about 70% of home games & 4 or 5 away !
If fans choose a ST alone & zero other contributions it doesn't bother me. If others contribute in other ways but pay on the gate as they go then ditto.
Do I feel the Club could be run better ? Yes.
Do I feel I can change how it is run ? No. *short of a lottery win & a Directorship/Ownership in the Club*
Do I think the Club have played a game/been dishonest regarding McNally ? Absolutely I do !
However, my take is this, the Club have seen on FB etc the groundswell in supporter mood & willingness to contribute & see the comments on getting McNally back & have utilised/exploited this to swell the coffers to sign further players *knowing the McNally deal is already signed sealed & delivered !
Part of me thinks this is disrespectful to fans, dishonest & unethical but another part says "yeah, box clever".
TBH, though I like Greg & sympathise with his personal situation I would rather sign a promising young FB possibly on a smaller contract than Greg might command but if he wears our shirt I will support him.
As others have stated here, it's all down to choices or personal finances ATEOTD & as the Club Owner has pulled his funding then personally I am happy to make extra contributions to stabilise OUR CLUB !!!

| 45 mins from Leigh to Bradford on the M62?
It must be a lot quieter over your neck of the woods than it is over here. It's usually chocka.

Evo's got a Gulfstream G550. Flies out of Westleigh International airport, into Leeds-Bradford. ![Wink icon_wink.gif](images/smilies//icon_wink.gif) Mind you, it probably takes more than 45 minutes from there to Odsal!

44mins longer than he now has and each way makes an hour and a half.
And I'm glad to here there have been huge road congestion improvements between Lanky and the dark side since I was last there
Real terms it means he can spend 2-3 hours more with his family every time he has to train or play.

| He's now part time rather than full time , a lot less actual hours , and yes I've made Odsal to Leigh in 45 minutes after leaving a night game 10 minutes before the end , but it certainly isn't done in anything under an hour ( potentially anything up to 2-3 ) during the morning or afternoon periods

So, you've not got a Gulfstream then, Steve? ![Wink icon_wink.gif](images/smilies//icon_wink.gif)
