Keith Freer first up.

New board member introduced. John Ruddy, Wigan businessman.

Both the touchdown club and LISA will have a representative on the board.

New coach still awaiting a work permit. If unsuccessful, the board are already in discussions with an alternative coach should the work permit application fail.

The finances are slowly recovering. Wigan have agreed to allow us to keep all proceeds from the friendly.

Including TDC sales, season tickets stand at 718. Not bad I reckon.

Trevor Barton up next-

Season tickets sales so far;
78 adult season tickets
149 concessions
290 juniors
67 touchdown club memberships
231 shirts sold

Meeting with RFL went very well. Possitive reaction to the player performance programme we have in place. They want to meet with us on a regular basis to discuss this.

The match day experience is being made better. Trevor acknowledges that the LSV are now listen to the club re; prices etc. They are welcoming as many new ideas as possible from the fans to improve the match day experience.

Lynda and Lisa thanked by Trevor for all their help in the financial crisis.

Frank Taylor acknowledged for all his hard work at the club.

Jitterbugs thanked for helping the club sell the replicas.

Photo shoot last Saturday with everyone in the club on it. To be sold soon.

Trevor needs a wee so they are taking a break.................

Chuft that Trevor took the time to thank the North Standers for their ideas and admitting the ideas they come up with are things he wouldn't have thought of.

Shows you what seeing things from different angles does.

you can listen to it all here you know www.leighlife.com

you can listen to it all here you know www.leighlife.com

This is all very interesting but you really need to see this presentation to appreciate what this fella is showing us.

lol

..and we're back.

John Duffy introduces Mark?? who has brought the new video analisys to the club.

The system allows the coaching team to analise the game as it happens. The coaches will have access to the system while they are watching the game. It can help the coaches make decision with the instant data. The system is used by all football Premiership clubs and top RU clubs. The stats that are generated can be set "live" to fans in the stadium on their iphones and androids.

Paul Rowley acknowledges the system will change the way he coaches for the better. He has already seen the benefits of the system at the Salford game.

whats the software package called?

How good does Paul Rowley talk?! On the back of everything he's done in helping bring the team together and pre season training and the way the lads talk about him, I really wouldn't mind him getting the job. The spirit of the team and the club overall seems top notch.

Paul Rowley up next;

Jonny Pownall, Duffy and Nico join him on stage.

Paul very happy with the quality of the 24 man squad. Looking forward to the Fax game. Training for the first time this season on the LSV pitch. Mike Worrincy trained tonight with the lads.

Nico says he is really enjoying training all the squad looks forward to training nights.

Duffs acknowledges Rowleys training techniques and a few new plays added. He wants everyone to keep their feet on the floor and not get carried away.

Bibey and Beswick confirmed as vice captains.

Littler back for the Fax game. Jimmy T about 6 weeks away from playing, Ostick 2/3 weeks. Beswick touch and go for Fax.

Jermaine Allen training with the squad and looks physically good but is very raw. Won't play for the first team as he is miles away from that but we are looking to get him a run out with Miners or Easts at some point.

Dual reg deals will be used this season. Wigan and Warrington will offer players to us. Wigan have offered to take young players on loan from us to help us develop our players.

Junior supporters club up and running with application forms on the website tomorrow.

Break even attendence at 1800 this season. Ave 2000 will give us a slight profit, Ave 2400 will allow us to repay a good slug of debt.

Naming rights for the stadium is up for grabs and the club receives 50% of the revenue received from it.

Wigan will send the first team players that don't play in the 17 that play against Salford. So we will see some of their first team and U20's

New season ticket sales are less than last year but the club are comfortable with that as they feel they will see the revenue spread throughout the season.

Keith Freer is certainly giving some very sensible answers. Seems to me the club is getting really professional.

Long may it continue.

Regarding the coach I agree with Keith Freer too.
