Glamour is actually not a bad word for it if you go back to its original usage of 'a spell that makes unattractive people good looking'.

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 |

Never , But that should not preclude us from attempting it in the future
If you do not reach for the stars you will not reach the moon

Please dont get confused with the 2 separate issues here
One is the off field performance of the club , ie income via supporters , sponsorship and the like
The other is on field performance , which is not an exact science and in reality you dont have as much control over as most would like
Unfortunatley many people assume that success in the second one will automatically improve the first one , which is not always the case
However more often than not improving the first will result in an improvement in the second

Cant see it Widnes, Fax and Barrow all have better teams and theres 3 or 4 teams on level par with us, so unless we bring in 3 or 4 SL quality players, I can see us being average.

To answer your question from my point of view:-
As a LISA and Lottery member, I try and help the club in a way I can afford,I stopped buying a national lottery ticket and buy one of our club every week instead and Ive been a LISA member for years.
What orginally attracted me to join was one of their "dos" they had which I attended and saw the benefits like the chance to meet the coach and players and understand how my £5 help us afford Adam Bristow etc.
In the early days LISA was much bigger and stronger, but since the club acheived reaching SL things have been on a downward spirral.
I try my upmost to get more members and its hard in the current climate we are in, but every penny LISA earn goes to the club for players.
aS ANOTHER POSTER has said AT cant fund this on his own, mwe need more fans through the turnstiles and more members of LISA or the Corporate Club to bring more quality players in.
I will be meeting the coach in the next couple of days to try and get him to help us try and gain more members and its in his best interests to help as he knows the more money we riase the more he has to spend.
If this doesnt help people understand why we need more members then I dont know what else to suggest.

| As a member of LISA The Watcher would encourage all Leigh fans to join,however ,the moment any of LISAs funds went to pay a non playing member of staff is the moment The Watcher would stop being a contributer.
Oh and one more thing,a message to glow.....do not suggest a rule change when you are not even a member.

Maybe the Watcher needs to read whats written.
Maybe then he would see that I have been asking questions.
Before I decide where to spend my money, I like to know where its going, and why its being spent there and not else where.

And its attitudes like this why I didn't renew my LISA membership,
Anser this question picture this scenario, A club official comes to a LISA meeting and asks for £50K or else a creditor will wind the club up and asks can LISA donate £5K (if they had it), are people really saying that LISA wouldn't assist financially and see the club wound up?
ANY person can suggest ANYTHING ANYWHERE this is England not a banana republic, what they cant do is propose a rule change at a LISA meeting, you pompus pr!ck
