Way I look at it is - if getting into bed with LCCC has benefitted the club financially then that's fine by me. Not really bothered if the overall prize pot is less.....I never win the bugger anyway!! if it was about the prizes, I'd be sinking my cash into extra lines on the National Lottery each week!!

What I mean is I know people who have dropped out because of the prizes available, a bigger carrot gets more people to have a go. Im in LIsa and Lifeline btw.

If you mean were the club better off, then it's no. Since going in with Lancashire the amount the Lottery gives the club each month has risen by approximately 300%.

The amount of members who dropped off because of the merger was minimal, and not above the regular turnover of members.

The only bit that matters, as far as I am concerned!!

Company membership is a great deal.

I took a voluntary 290 pay cut so the co paid in 290. Saving the tax it'll cost me personally 174 quid.

So for 174 quid I get

[list15 tickets to be used as and when I like which is perfect for me.
A tenners worth of numbers in the draw each week.
4 free tickets to go watching a Pro40 game which were well used. [/list

That, for me, seemed like a pretty good deal, and that's before I got given a Leigh Centurions Wall Clock (in search of good home)

iM NOT ALLOWED TO HAVE MY OPINION SO IT WOULD SEEM.

The exact reason why I don't get sucked into deep meaningless debates, because 95% of it is pure tosh created by people who think they are in the know when they're not. If I want something clarifying I just PM one or two on here who I can trust.

All in all just wish more people would join either or both, and lets leave it at that.

Where in my original post did I have a go, I didnt, I stated only IMHO what friends and family told me as to their reasons for not continuing with it thats all.

who said "you had a go"?
