I agree that it was and still should be the main issue but a new bandwagon has started which suggests that a new PPA consisting of recent past players, who by comparison hardly come under the accolade of legend, will make the issue go away.
It would be a quick fix but would be disrespectful.

Well I have been watching Leigh since 1956.

I have posted before what has caused this problem ? Will someone PLEASE post what the PPA want and why they (or maybe 1 of them) thought that a one sided interview to Leigh Journal would resolve this impasse.

Then' I can make my own mind up.That report in the Journal did not tell me and I would like to know as maybe others would too.

This thread has people defending the club and others defending the PPA's stance.

How long before someone posts the real reason for this unfortunate situation ?

What did charles Pawsey achieve playing for leigh,trophy wise?

No ' bandwagon ' on my part, but the longer the current PPA refuse to sit down, the more chance that a new one will surface, given the attention it has recieved recently, there will only be one more offer, I would guess

And I didnt realise it was the ' past legends association '?

Maybe a Lancashire Cup, or two, but didn't he get 'capped' by GB? It could be argued that not many of the 'recent past' players achieved that.

EVERYONE who has played for Leigh, recently or further back, is a Past Player. Ideally, we need them ALL back in the PPA.

You have just proved my disrespect point.

I never saw Charlie Pawsey play , but my Dad told me what a Great player he was , thats good enough for me , its not about winning trophys,its about past players , i applaud any player who has played for Leigh not only have they acheived one of my dreams , but they have represented our great Club ,and done their best for us ,WELL DONE to all these lads .

Any past player should be welcome to join a PPA regardless of how many trophies they won or appearances they made, but they need to be prepared to pay their way to some extent and certainly not abuse the discounts offered to them as has appeared to be the case in the past.

I respect them all reffy (I hope I haven't shown them any disrespect in my posts on this issue) - 'past past' and 'present past'. That's why I believe we should have them all (or as many as possible) at our games. I'm not interested in what has caused the problem, rather what can be done to resolve it - and I believe that talking would be the start of that process.

Matthew you know me i make fun of most things , but on a Serious point here , i dont think any Past Player would Abuse his Position or said Discounts offered to him ,unless im missing something?

It was mentioned earlier in the thread that the discounts offered to PPA members at Hilton Park had occasionally been abused, with the passes being given to non-members etc.

By that i assume you mean passes given to non players , because for me if you have played for Leigh , you should automatically become a Member of the PPA .

My comment was aimed at j.c after his sarcastic question about Charlie Pawsey.

I dont think anybody is a saint if i wasnt going to a match , i wouldnt give my season ticket to somebody else ,but if i had bought a ticket and couldnt go to the match , then i would give it to someone to use ,not throw it away .
