Been working away and cant see any 'announcements' refn ownership, finance etc

Nothing changed Mo - Keep that shiney knights armour on

Lots have changed,people have stopped believing we will fold in the next 30 seconds and lisa looks like its getting its act together

Great news on LISA isn't it, I think the 60k is a tough one but should get it back to the 35k again. Is the 30 seconds a rolling timeline?

lisa is the only good thing to come out of it all to be honest,think it raised eyebrows that the membership was only 122,hope it turns out to be a defining moment in its history

New blokes took over.
Plenty of new LISA members signing up.
Local businesses getting involved.
Canadian Leythers lottery syndicate
Big LISA drive on Sunday.

I found 122 frighteningly low so its good to see growth and momentum building - thank God for Lynda. Dont agree about the only good thing, we all want closure asap and then to build for an exciting future, but we aint out of the woods yet and believe we need some communication from the towers (not CC )

Great news, who's took over?

An organization like LISA will only come to the fore in times of trouble , therefore no ' trouble ' and LISA membership will dwindle , we have put a finite date on the initiative to encourage more to join , hopefully within the time span we have set , the benefits of LISA to the club and also to the membership can become prominent enough to retain a large percentage

To be fair I think LISA already had it's act together. It was complacent fans like myself that didn't. Easy to criticize others but harder to point a finger at yourself !

Whilst I agree it's easier to drum up new members in a crisis it shouldnt be difficult to keep hold of members during good times. They need to be engaged and fully understand what their hard earned cash has gone to. There is no reason at all why membership can't remain high when we leave this tunnel.

I hope it isn't just LISA who learn from that statement Ste. Communication, transparency and engagement are vital for our clubs future. Leythers will support a cause they believe in a and are part of.

No , Leythers will sit on their hands and moan about the price of beer at the LSV , having to buy tickets fir the game , why we don't have a club shop and a multitude other things if they think somebody else is willing to pay for their entertainment

LISA hasn't learned anything from any statement , it already knew that eventually we would be in this situation , it has tried to organize events and money making initiatives , but on the whole they haven't been supported

If whoever comes in just follows the same pattern that has gone before we will be in the same situation we currently are again in a few years

What is interesting is that the last three posters all have different opinions of how the club needs to operate in the future

Two of them are happy for Leigh to remain a charity , one will only be happy when it becomes a true business

I agree with most of that

If we always do what we always did, we will always get what we always got.

The secret to supporting functions is enough people to sell them and the function being attractive. eg we looked for about 100 hundred to attend the race nights we held. We sold a 3 course carvery and race night for around £10/12.50, it was deemed good value due to Cheshire Catering doing a good meal, MM bar prices were ok and folk had a laugh. Always raised over a grand due to Commitee being forced to have a table minimum.

Tipster showed what could be done last year with his walk, previously members organised bike rides to Fev stopping overnight, and to Oldham - rat legged after being in boozer from 10am - etc.

LISA can become great again but it will need more than Lynda to carry it, and must constantly evolve to stop members dropping off.
