Quote: Leyther_Matt "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.'"

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 icon_eek.gif , because for me if you have played for Leigh , you should automatically become a Member of the PPA .

Quote: charlie caroli "By that i assume you mean passes given to non players Yes that's what I meant. Not sure whether automatic membership would work necessarily as they need to know who their active members would be, but of course that would be an issue for the current PPA or any potential new one.

Quote: Alan "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.'"



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

I dont think anybody is a saint icon_wink.gif 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 .

So you are saying that any former player should be allowed to just walk into your stadium essentially free of charge ? , and the stewards ' police ' this how ?

A PPA pass was relevant to the person who paid for it , it wasn't/isn't a general ticket , unfortunatley some tried to use them that way , both to fellow players and non players

It's called ' taking the p155 '

I NEVER said or implied this icon_eek.gif ,not being privy to RFL or Club rules i cant make a comment on this , what i said was to me "All ex-players should automatically become Members of the PPA ",I have asked in the past if all ex-players are given tickets or have to pay for them ?As i dont know .

For me ex-players are like Old Soldiers , they never die just Fade away , to me Mick Martyn and Gordon Lewis were my childhood heroes ,not one season wonders , but Leythers through aand through ,lets not show them Disrespect .

------------------------------------- NOW PLAYING: SPECIAL D - Come With Me -------------------------------------:2205.gif



But how many actually 'support' the club after finishing playing? How many come to watch regularly?

For me, they chose to play for us, they were paid for doing so - thanks for the entertainment that I paid to watch -end of.

If they choose to set up an association then let them but they must meet the costs.

kcab sfrawdder Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done But he with a chuckle replied That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried. So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin On his face. If he worried he hid it. He started to sing as he tackled the thing That couldn’t be done, and he did it!:9005.jpg
