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

I think claphams have enough problems after their recent fire, without stirring on here. Pathetic post

not a patch on 'Dawsons Pies' anyway......

Why do you think you are entitled to free advertising?

I wouldn't have mentioned the refusal by (somebody at) Claphams 'on here' anyway I bet even some shops even turn down 'charity' posters in their window. Like someone previously posted, a rather silly/pointless topic. Maybe the Pie shop didn't get offered FREE tickets for the fun day, or are Wiggin fans !

No idea what your on about pal.. But here goes chain of events ..

Club organise community fun day

Club try and promote above fun day

One business refuses to display above advert

Question from some is why should Leigh get free advertising?

In the very town the businesses are operating remains the only professional sports organisation that last year brought 4000 visitors to the town every 2 weeks. In a years time that figure might be 7k.

You'd hope ALL businesses would support that quest..

People have pointed out they have had recent major issues, hopefully that was the reason for yesterday's apparent snub which under circumstances is perhaps understandable.

Time for the towns businesses to unite...

This hole you're digging is getting deeper!!

Tripster what are you smoking?This post is very creepy I wouldn't have thought everyone in Leigh supports Leigh, the Owner of this establishment might be a Wigan fan



Heaven forbid,you will want him put in Stocks outside the Town Hall next,Tripster it's called democrisy, people like a choice.

You are suffering from the idea that just because you support something, everyone else should do too. The owners of the bakery probably don't give a flying fig about a small-time rugby league club. Yes, 4K may turn up to watch Leigh, but this is usually on a Sunday when they are presumably closed?
They probably get asked to display posters every day, if they accepted all requests their shop would end up looking like a walking advertisement. It's easier for them just to politely say no to all requests for free advertising so as to be fair to everyone.
And by the way, I hope you have evidence of their refusal. If not, you are very much open to an allegation of libel, as you are been critical of a named business without evidence that what you are claiming is actually true.

I never realised that I was he only person from Leigh that went to the games. Are we the new Man Utd , bussing fans in from far flung places like Abram?
