I couldn't resist.

Would you contribute to a fan owned club on top of what you already pay? And if so how much?

Brad Fitler "If the ref's decision decides your game. You haven't done enough prior." Referees are like women, they make snap decisions and never reverse them. [b]Littlerich wrote[/b] Widnes will be glad to get away from Leigh. They've been regularly pumped, roasted and left in the alley-way by the lobbygobblers. Talk about being bitched - what a torrid time they've had. They'll be looking for some A&E rest time for the next three years at least.:simpsons/PDT13.gif



I've gone for the £10-£20 option as that is all I can afford at the moment. Hopefully I will be able to increase this when personal finances allow.

Goodnight leythers.

How is education supposed to make me feel smarter? Besides, every time I learn something new, it pushes some old stuff out of my brain. Remember when I took that home winemaking course, and I forgot how to drive?:icons077e_files/4864-863FALH-msnicons.jpg



I also selected £10- £20 but like many others, I also do the lottery and LISA. So would it dilute funds already going into the club?

500 fans @ £15 is £90k pa, 100. @ £40 is £48k pa that means a very successful club when you add in business contributions

I went for the £10/20 pm. This needs to be put to the wider audience ,there could be many more interested who don't come on the forum .

Well as I am lucky enough at my age to have a couple of grand spare in the bank doing nowt, I have gone for the £40+ option as a fans owned Leigh rugby is totally something I can buy into. Also,

Would I hand that over as lump sum to Sporting Club Leigh as it is currently set up? Emphatically no as it would be soaked up in a Mr Freer and Mr Coffey's budget shortfalls every year in debt.

Alternatiely would I use it as an 'investment' in a new fans owned club to secure a new future of the club I love and give me a sense of 'ownership? Very much so.

And finally, did I pay £18 to be ripped off and fleeced against an amateur side in the cup ? Did I balls..

The last answer was just for my owd mucker Charlie Carolli icon_wink.gif

Depends which way you look at it. A lot of those will be people revisiting the same thread to contribute or see the results.

Another way to look at it is 82% of leythers would get involved.

Of the 6 who voted NO there's every possibility that they're fans of other clubs, including the one on the Northwest coast.

To be fair Bart I voted no because at this moment in time I cannot afford the outlay, I do contribute to LISA monthly though. As for other teams fans voting that is plain wrong if they had. Hope it's a success though. icon_thumb.gif

Fair point. I wouldn't have been able to contribute 12 months ago with a baby on the way and the incertainty over my job with virgin trains, just circumstance for different people at different times, we all love the club the same.
