I have stopped watching Leigh for a reason (Wiggin merger) as have another 4000 fan for other reasons. It is up to the current BOM/BOD to tempt those lost fans back NOT by asking for more money off fans BUT tempt them back by committing to more investment into a Championship winning team. Leigh RLFC is a business - lost fans are possible customers. Tempt them back - don't ask them to subsidise you.

I concur


Partly

WYSIWYG , you have spelt Wigan wrong there are not 2 Gs , in the name there are 4 Wiggggin .

As in Charlie loves Wiggggin!!!!!! :O)

I don't know Charlie. You give a very good impression of a Wigginer.

Anyway, I'm going to leave you all. I'm bored.

I'm like that person who always gets to the ATM just before you, or someone who leaves his sweaty socks all over the house, or the bloke who flicks through all the channels when you are trying to watch something.

I may have annoyed you all but you will all miss THE WHIZZ - enjoy your posts about the 2p cheaper pint in The Goose and the "Who played Rigsby in Rising Damp?" posts and "Aren't Wiggin lovely!!!" and "I love you Andy!!!"

Good luck to Leigh and PR in the TTTE Cup Final.

I for one will not miss the Whizz. I don't hate you But I do dislike how you derail so may threads with the same blinkered, out dated stance.
Fred gives Leigh so much more than most, his precious time. For him to encourage us all to step up a little more is quite within his right. Some of us already do enough some could do more, me included. A few fans have just invested thousands (BOM), if more of us step up now, it is the best chance that Leigh will rise and we will not have to do it again in the future.

I certainly won't miss him ,don,t hate him as I don,t know him .

We have risen from the ashes so many times why don't we change our name to Leigh Phoenix?

Thank God for that It will stay that way forever

I don't care what we are called, Centurions, Phoenix, Comics, Bears, .......
This is the best chance we've had in many a year thanks to the fans who have stepped up as the BOM, and the loyal volunteers who give so much of their precious time and effort. Link that with the up coming structure change in the RFL league setup and NOW is the time. And I do mean NOW, not 2014 or 2015. A small show of faith (or a little more faith for those of us that already contribute some and can afford a little more) is most likely to give us what we all want in the near future. It may not but I'm willing to take that chance.

Thanks for that Paul, yes we (me and our Dave) do give a lot of time but it's because we actually care for the club, it wouldn't matter to me if Ghengis Kahn was the Chairman (though saying that have you seen that John Roddy when he hasn't shaved!!!!) or Pol Pot was the coach or if we were twinned with Hades Rovers. Leigh RFC is my club and will always be my club, yes I stayed away once for one game but I was so glued to the radio trying to get an update it drove me bloody mad, I'm just glad to put something back into a club that has given me so much pleasure - hold on should that be pain - over the years, that for me pride when stopping away doesn't count one bean, I want my club to be there for the future generations and falling out with a Rugby Club because of pride says just one thing, your selfish, as your pride could destroy or certainly help to destroy something that most of us love, especially when people hide behind a stupid reason to hide their pride (or try to hide it).
Plus if we didn't enjoy doing it we wouldn't do it but would certainly never consider staying away because of an old fashioned out of date reason of being linked with Wigan - and yes I don't like it also but it is purely a business decision full stop.
