Leigh's excellent commercial department visited a number of shops, offices, pubs, council property etc yesterday in the hope of promoting the fun day that is approaching at the end of the month. We had some excellent promotions also on email, twitter, facebook and even by some fans. Can you believe that Claphams Bakery refused to display any poster to promote the event?

But their mini pasties are so good!!!

If all the other shops on that stretch are advertising it what difference would it make?

Be nice if they joined though, doesnt make sense to refuse to promote...

I think people are forgetting that Claphams has only just reopened after a large fire and it is not fully operational yet

I don't like this type of bullying. The last time I looked we lived in a democratic society where people were free to make their own choices. If Claphams don't want to support it then fair enough.

I hope people associated with the club don't take the same approach as the poster has, or they could quickly alienate club in the community.

Crap thread

Tripster you sound like a Captain in the secret Police,or Mr Capone If you don't buy from us.

Maybe they're Pies fans (get it )

Naming and shaming companies isn't really going to increase the chances of them working with the club in future is it?

I will take em some cellotape next time I call in.

Maybe it's the Pie thing' course I always get pasties.

I think we need to weigh this up. So here goes.

Somewhere over the rainbow, weigh a pie.

Sorry, couldn't resist it.

Leigh business's rely on Leigh folk to spend with them, I am all for informing us fans of those that do support us as my money spends every where. It was great to see the Britt so packed on Sunday, hopefully some other pubs who benefit from fans will contribute like Peter has/is.
I would rather the club said for example 'Waterfields are a sponsor, the rest refused the opportunity', as fans we walk to the counter order then walk away after asking do they sponsor us, I wonder what reaction would be next time if a big chunk of us did this. 3000 families probably spend £15m pa at local supermarkets yet I cant see any embracing us??

I agree the club should promote businesses that sponsor us, however we shouldn't be naming all the businesses that don't help.

Especially those without cellotape.

Blimey Tipster, you've stooped low at times in the past but you've surpassed yourself here - hope your mate Derek has a word in your ear and reels you in a little
