Quote: THECherry&Whites "This is the biggest hurdle the club have to overcome. They have seen it in the attendances over the past few years. There is apathy in Leigh when it comes to Leigh Centurions. Overcoming that apathy (which is growing year on year) is the biggest challenge that this club has ever had. 30 years ago 80% of population of the town would have been able to name at least one member of the team. I bet that figure now would be less than 10% of the population of the town.'"


Thirty years ago, in 1982, we had just won the Div 1 Championship so I reckon almost everyone would have been able to name Woody or Des!!!!!

I'm not entirely sure how many people were at the first fans forum Glow (when we were in serious trouble and in danger of going to the wall) but the room was packed out and we had almost 100 listening in online.

Second home the gym:



Quote: mish "I've got to say that I'm a bit discouraged by the amount in interest in last nights fans forum.

The presentations were very good, the news was great and considering the position we were in this time last year, I think the club has exceeded all our expectations, however.... there was about 80 people at the forum and only about 36 people listening in on the Leighlife broadcast, so why isn't anyone interested in hearing about the good news?

Is the problem that we have nothing really to moan about? The lads are playing great, the club is being run better than it's ever been before, the communication with/from the club has never been better and we're in a great position to move the club forward....yet no one seems that interested.

I think it's very worrying.'"

My opinion on the turn out mish is that when things where going wrong a lot more people turned up because they care about the club, but now as you say things are running a lot better and smoother, so i think the same people think everythings ok and don't bother going to the fans forum not because they don't care if you see what i mean but as they don't feel the need too. Does that make sense. icon_lol.gif

There is normally a drop in attendance at these sort of forums. The first one will always have the highest turnout because people are worried, curious, unhappy, angry etc. As things improve and concerns go away then there is no urgency to attend. Falling numbers are a positive sign rather than a negative one.

Mines a pint... 'Hi-Ho Silver Lining' Headingley 05th October 2014.:1392.gif



Quote: glow "If I'm not part of 'Everyone' what am I?

icon_wink.gif

In fairness Mish I suspect the drop has more to do it with it being half term and people away on holiday / days out etc rather than a major apathy.
Throw in the fact that many feel things are getting better so its less of a 'crisis' event.
I'd hope it carries on as its a breath of fresh air the club being so open and accessable (be it live or via the internet).

I hope you're all correct in what you say, and part of me thinks you're right. I just wish there was a few more people to listen to the positive news and show the Board and Paul that we appreciate their hard work and determination in getting us to where we are today.

Quite a few of those who go to most games were not there tonight.

I personally was surprised how many attended.

What is more important is how many turn up on Friday as the club has to pay last months tax bill.

My posts do not reflect the opinion of rlfans.com, my employer, the Prime Minister, Lassie, NRL fans or the privately educated. The opinions posted here are solely intended to influence the intellectually destitute. Money back guarantee applies.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_975.gif



From my PoV I do want to know about the club, I do want to ask questions, and hear others ask intelligent questions.

However, these meetings would usually bore the arss off a dead donkey. If I want to bore myself silly for a couple of hours then I'll watch a Super League game!

And there's only so many times I can listen to the same question (already answered) being asked umpteen times by the same faces.

Maybe (!) I'm just a grumpy begger, but that's why I don't go to these meetings, and why I stopped going to LISA meetings way back too.

The euphoria of winning a GF? Did you not let out a little wee when you won the NRC?

What is wrong with you people? If you're still clinging to the hope of SL then I can put you out of your misery - you've not a hope in hell - none of us have. Isn't what's happening at Bradford a bit of a clue? They've done everything but commit genocide and they've still got license. It's a closed shop - deal with it. Deal with it and enjoy the best that Championship RL has to offer because right now - Leigh, Fev and Fax ARE amongst the best.

Let it go mon . . . .

Just cos you shout it doesn’t make it right, but the more you shout it, the more you put potential and current supporters off attending.

I notice you opened another thread saying how exciting last nights game was, do you think the players approached it as a friendly?

I agree with this post 100% and I might add that I am in no way whatsoever a grumpy begger. icon_cool.gif

I mean the league games, not the NRC or challenge cup.
