Yes we do , but that will require a period of financial stability , a long term ' plan ' and a will to look beyond the playing budget as the be all and end all of running a sporting business

How can they have a long term plan with the current owner still in place? Will he prevent a Saturday night game v Toronto? Under Sky cameras?
No! We need all we can get, so market it to hell now. < Thats Leighs purse..
Lets not not forget the Ourleague app.. Nail it. Don't wait. < Thats more money in Leighs purse..
Take the negatives and turn them into positives.
But for god sake stop using history as an answer.

Not going to lay the lack of long term planning at Derek's door , as long as I can recall no owner has ever taken that course
Essentially we get £ 200K to compensate for that sat 7 pm kick off , although for me from April to the end of the season sat 6 pm would already be my kick off time
As I don't do ' apps ' I'll happily agree without really knowing or caring

| Quote: GUBRATS "Whatever deal Toronto have cut with SKY is their business , yes we might lose a couple of dozen off the attendance at ours who will prefer to spend their money on beer rather than a match ticket , but it will also mean a couple of thousand Leythers like myself who wouldn't have been going over to Canada will get to see the game live
Ultimately their connection to us is reducing with every new player they sign , I do expect them to get promoted this year and become SLs ' problem ' , we have plenty enough things to concern ourselves with to be bothered about them any more , time to move on'"
Any deal struck between any Championship club and Sky is our absolutely our business too.
Just as the televised games in Premiership football are everyone’s business who plays in that league. The difference is that the football governing body has real influence and applies common sense over what happens in that sport.
I have already said what I think of our governing body.

I don’t call playing games whenever Sky tells them is real influence.

I don't mean us being televised , I just mean that being our regular kick off time for all our games

Hi Derek,it’s being streamed on Facebook live, Toronto are now leading by 32 v 12 and looking very good.

Cheers Ian, I think Toronto will be promoted this year,and i think we will go well challenging for that top 5. Iv'e always liked Andy Ackers Ian, I would have him here at Leigh no doubt. I'm really looking forward to tomorrow and some good performances from the players, irrespective of the result.

No chance, or there should not be, how can anyone say that the Toronto experiment has worked or not, it needs more than two seasons to evaluate both the plus and any detrimental factors that Toronto bring to the game IN THIS COUNTRY, a minimum of 6 years should be allowed to pass to make a judgenent.
