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

Quote: Starbug "As were the last lot Ian, up to now they havent done hardly anything, so lets all calm down, actions speak louder than words and lets save the hero worship until they have actually earned it

They have already got the club back on to a sound financial footing and injected a much needed impetus around the place.

So for me they deserve a little more respect than your 'they have not actually done anything'

The other side of that and the big difference between this lot and all the other lot is that they are yet to feck up something big and royally ! icon_wink.gif

If I didn't know you better this could be seen as sour grapes.

Not really the place to discuss, I will say they have really exceeded expectations and are going from strength to strength.

I did miss out the 'hardly' bit for which I apologise. I also missed from my post, a 'more' sound financial footing.

However please correct me if I am wrong, I do not think we are in a more precarious financial situation now under the new BOM than we were with the previous regime ?

But then again, what would I know...

I wouldnt want anybody getting too comfortable or complacent Andy, a huge amount of work to be done, I doubt we are ' out of the woods ' yet and nobody should be under any illusions that the change in structure will make the job any easier, if anything it could make it harder if it makes people take their eyes off the ball as too what is required

Lets hope they can deliver what the club want them to deliver, for the benifit of the club, as they are as far as I understand it, independant of the club, which was the reason given for getting rid of our last community facility

We won't rest assured.

Having been working closely with the RFL with full support of LSV and the Council we are viewing the imminent changes in structure as our big chance and intend to take it.

I'm not here to question anyone from the past none of my concern, future what matters this new team and it's credentials along with gaurenteed income being invested over next few years gives us the platform to work on and gives the club stability and real ambition for the first time in many years.

Exciting times mate.

Get behind us.

Quote: Starbug "I didnt realise you were a trustee'"


Since we've taken over the club I have taken responsibility for two main areas one being communications and the other to oversee all aspects of community linked to the club.

One of my first tasks was to engage with likes of LISA and the Foundation just name two independent organisations affiliated to our the club to offer a link to the New BOM.

Trevor and John were kind enough to give me a presentation on the Foundation and have since presented it to the Chairman and other members of the BOM. All are happy that the great work it does while independent it's branded in the name of Leigh Centurions and is massive for the community trust me its very impressive.

I do meet regular now with John in particular and Trevor from time to time and while I wouldn't call myself a trustee as such they are open book with me and the club and I'm copied in on their internal correspondence.

Trust this answers your question.

Cheers

Andy

We've only ticked box one publicly yet, some big things coming in the next few weeks and months ahead which may even open your eyes Steve.

Sounds good, I hope to start to see the results of their work on the terraces and seats of the LSV in the future
