Possibly the most stupid post I have read for ages, you own the ground so you can cheat better and thats something to be proud of.Plus where do you get we think its to Leighs advantage playing on Friday,both teams benefit from the extra days before our next match.I
I have been coming to your ground for decades and on many occassions Leigh have taken loads of fans and rarely is this reciprocated at Leigh by Fev whatever day the games played,though in recent years with your deserved success has seen more fans I will agree.THe Fev women with the loudest voice in RL does equate to 10 other fans in decibel level so you may seem to be bringing more these days,she is also the stupidest fan in RL as well.

Can't believe anyone in their right mind would play it on a Friday night.

Last time we played at yours on a Friday (2012 season iirc), it took nearly 3 hours to get there and I missed the first half. There's no way I'd ever consider driving over on a Friday again. I imagine many other Fev supports feel the same.

From a financial perspective, it makes far more sense for both clubs to play it at the weekend, good on Poskitt for sticking to his guns.

So what's the problem then? If there is no advantage (I agree with you) then why make such a fuss? Because you'll take a few more fans and get a few more quid on a Sunday? Well on the Friday we will do better on the corporate side of things (traditionally) and make a few more quid that way.

Fev are making themselves look ridiculous. The way they are going on about there supposedly massive army of away fans they'd bring on a Sunday is just nonsense as well. Who do they think they are, Hull KR? icon_wink.gif icon_lol.gif

a little bit of advice for the LSV ,when looking at the draft fixtures next season note dates of all cup competitions and always presume both us and Swinton could be still in them each round and do not book functions on the dates of these comps , then we can choose what day we want to play .

Quote: Nostradamus's lad "Your supplier is off his rocker if that is 100% correct, unless your £150k is guaranteed to him at £3k per week every week.
I am sure the LSV will give us 24/7/365 if we guaranteed to pay whatever income they generate now via all functions, but somehow I dont think the club are in that position'"


Quote: Nostradamus's lad "It is more or less is every week but we cannot guarantee him work (neither me nor him know what I have for him on Monday next week yet), some of the products we make our customers request delivered to their European suppliers, and he can’t do into Europe for the same costs as I can get from elsewhere.

If you think he’s off his rocker, he at least gives me a price, we are told by our customers how much they’re willing pay for our products, when they want them, and eventually where we must deliver them, we have a choice we either agree and supply or they take their business elsewhere. Welcome to the world of the automotive industry.'"


I obviously tempted fate, I have a vehicle originally schedule for delivery to Halewood tomorrow but my customer now wants them delivered to Bilbao instead.

As I said nothing is guaranteed but fortunately on this occasion I have some alternative work for my usual transport agent.

The biggest mistake and trap you are all falling into here is comparing any kind of normal day to day business with the operating of a sports club and in particular a semi professional RL team. Partnerships mean both parties need each other equally LSV need LC and visa versa and if the relationship is to be a successful one both parties will at times give ground and be flexible to each others needs unlike a conventional business relationship were the customer is always right mentality should always apply.

We have had to travel to your side of the Pennines many times more than Yorkshire clubs go the other way over the years and frequently get stuck in traffic jams.I went to a party at Huddersfield last week and left at 6.15 and was there for 7.00, its the luck of the draw mate motorway driving.

Poskitt by the way is daft making a meal out of this, if you lot do bite and it causes bad feeling which it is, there are enough nutters who will make the most of this and thats not whats needed.This to me is a massive storm in a teacup, where both sets of fans really want a Sunday game and you are seeing something whats not there by the statement the players prefer Friday kick off,I bet Fevs would as well if it gives them more time to recover for the next game.

Again - Spot on

Maybe we (Fev) as a club see an advantage in making it difficult for Leigh by stirring thinks about the game being played on a Friday. Personally I don't see it this way, all this can do get the fans backs up and we have seen where that leads to in the past.

If we must by all means complain to the RFL and let them make the final decision, but to go on about it in the public domain just makes us all look daft.

Btw, if this game clashes with Liverpool v Chelsea then I'm going to sulk. Big time.

I'll still be there though.
