We’ve knocked the club for years about poor communication, and I can see how club officials see this board as a way of improving that and in the main should be applauded for doing so. But if ever we needed a thread to show what WYSIWYG is meaning then we don’t have to look any further than here.
Two wrongs don’t make a right.
It would be good if both parties took a little time out to re-read what they have written, remember that this is an independent message board, and that we all have the right not only to post whatever they wish, but to be treated with respect.'"
This. A thousand times over.

Wouldn't it be nice if real life were like that? We had a little button we could press and get rid of everyone who didn't agree with us.
Would it be nice, or boring?
Wouldn't it be better if you tried to get the bitter and twisted fools back watching the team they have loved for most of their lives? The bitter and twisted fool you refer to has spent a great number of hours and money watching Leigh over the last 40 odd years.
That's not to say he isn't a bitter and twisted fool though

Just post info and leave it at that.

Have wigan rang and said who we can borrow this week?'"
Your missing my point I think,
IMO we cant allow ourselves to focus our attentions and resources on fans who don't wish to come and will always find a reason not to come and historically have always done so.
I'm not personally responsible for marketing or sales we have a designated team and a director who covers this area of the business now (and incidentally is working on some great initiatives for fans for 2014/15) but I personally feel we need to focus on growing the a NEW fan base via the community, families and most importantly schools and children while looking after our loyal and passionate core of fans who have helped hold the club together by attending regular through thick and thin.
This is not aimed at anyone in particular but the "not going because its 16/18 quid brigade" still wont go tonight because we have a so called "partnership with Wigan" so what will the excuse be when we scrap the partnership then and offer competitive costs over a full season???
Incidentally I post on here as a Fan and posted on here prior to any involvement other than being a sponsor so my views are my own and not the views of Leigh Centurions and the BOM.

Not at all, but do you think a member of the board should be involved in a slanging match on a message board? I hope the answer isn't 'yes'.

Good on him and hopefully once we take away his excuses he will return and see that we have the right intentions and real ambition for the club and we share the same passion we just express it in different ways.
If he wants to shake hands and collect a ticket FOC from me tonight he's welcome to drop me a PM I suspect it will be a team full of leythers and leigh players so with cheaper tickets and no Wigan lads how about it fella????.
We want all fans in that stadium behind our boys new or old at the end of the day as a club.
My views are not the views of Leigh Centurions they are my own.

Don't get me wrong I think the new set up sounds great[especially after trev bartons brainfart interviews were he alienated most fans with partnership] but there are lots and lots of fans who will come back me included when promotion and relegation is back in place[I know that's not the clubs fault it began] but with the increase on prices and the madness of a few years back were they got rid of the season ticket prices which were set at a sensible price for fans and now the partnership were trev reckoned we were all small minded idiots because we don't want to watch some of the best players in the borough playing for us just because they are from wigan,well after that point I thought sod it,looks like others did as well.
Tempt back the fans with set sunday games[Thursday are out of control] early bird season ticket prices and most importantly no partnership rip it up on the town hall square as a marketing gimmick if you want to get maximum publicity.
Looking forward to being tempted back next season

WOW, I have just read the last 5 Posts and from a outsiders point of view find it astonishing that a member of the board would first of all post on here and second of all Call long standing fans " Bitter and Twiste Fools " then within a few pages go and offer this bitter and twisted fool a FREE ticket. Sweet Jesus, is there a Moderater in the house ?. Please give this man a week long ban to reflect on his posts. What hapened to " the customer is always right " ?. There may only be a few posters on these sites but there are hundreds more who come on and view the posts without actually registering.
It isn't a positive, thats for sure.

No BUT you have to admit WYSIWIG only post to antagonise people and I can understand Andy's reply after all Andy is doing us all a favour keeping us informed and I can't see a problem with that and I don't know why anybody does . I would just like to see a positive post coming from him (W) for once as there are lots of positives at the moment but I dare say pigs will fly first .I don't mind people having their opinions but to constantly read his sniping at the club or those involved is now quite boring and I just wonder why he needs to do this as he can put his point across much better .

| Some people need an audience for their perceived annoyance and they like it even better when they get a response, when they draw a response from a board member it doesn't get any better. I read WYSIWYG for entertainment but take what he says with a pinch of salt.

Quite correct and your way is the best way IMO and 99% of the time I follow your code.
I let my passion get the better of me at times so I do apologise to any of our fans who may have been offended by my comments and once again just highlight these are my comments as a fan of the club on a MB and not the views of Leigh Centurions.
Cheers
Andy
