Harold is this 11% worth any money that we could use to pay off debts?

Not sure of the details or if is transferable. 11% of any LSV operating profit should be due to the club.

It is important to remember, the club gave up a 75 year lease on land worth £millions that used to be Hilton Park to enable the new stadium for Leigh RLFC to be built for free, debt free.

The second part to remember is that additional land in Leigh was also handed over for free for commercial purposes, ie Morrisons, to also enable the stadium to be built for Leigh RLFC for free, debt free.

It is vitally important then, and still remains so for the LSV to have Leigh RLFC positioned and operating out of the LSV.

What happens, if as seems increasingly likely, we go bust. LSV can then claim they have no obligation to a new Leigh club?

Then given how and why it was built, every Leigh councillor sitting on Wigan Council as elected representatives of Leigh borough should be voted out of office immediately.

The same goes for our MP.

The working man still thinking they have a voice for change. Naive

The Hilton Park land is/was essentially worthless , the council made it quite clear if Leigh Centurions / Sporting Club Leigh Ltd didn't agree to move to the LSV under any terms they would reduce the capacity of Hilton Park to 1,000 by use of the safety certificate

I haven't suggested anything of the sort , I was just being devils advocate in demonstrating how the various parties involved will be looking at it from different angles

If LCRLFC is an 11% shareholder of the LSV Stadium then surely the Club is remunerated 11% of all profits arising from sell on rental of the facility i.e MUFC, Elton John, Lionel Richie & any International's or other events, or will it not work this way ?

The only way of a very bright future is in owning the Stadium 100% outright !

Great idea Ste and I 100% agree with it. How is it ever going to happen? Never thought we might be getting 11% of all LSV income though!

Is it 11% of all income, or 11% of profits? There is quite a difference there, especially if LSV isn't making a profit!

That’s how I always thought it worked, it’s what I would do if I was the Landlord and had the opportunity to take my money prior to handing over the balance.

Isn't it the Batley game in 2016 that is still in question, where the matchday receipts was zero?

I've no idea, but even if it is only the Batley game, if I was the Landlord (LSV) and DB had decided to offer a free game without my consent, I’d tell him for every other game thereafter I’m taking my usual X amount plus Y every game until you’ve paid your arrears.

I don't know either, 'Leythig'.

Nevertheless, presumably LSV were still entitled to charge for stewarding, which was always separate from the % rental. The stewarding presence that day would have had to be higher than usual, with all four stands in use. However, to offset that extra cost to LSV, they would have surely had increased income, in the form of much higher food & drink sales?

Was it without consent ?

If it was , then why ? , maybe because approaching them with a realistic marketing idea of offering a recently promoted anchor tenant to let the population of the town in for free would have been received how ?

" Cracking idea Derek , yes we'll run with that , we should be able to cover costs on food and drink sales , and it'll hopefully see a few more through the door next year in SL "

Or more likely , " No Derek , you know we don't work like that , it's our job to run the stadium for maximum income and potential profit for ourselves and the council , not some poxy RL club "
