[i:5a56um9q]Serious sport has nothing to do with fair play. It is bound up with hatred, jealousy, boastfulness, disregard of all rules and sadistic pleasure in witnessing violence. In other words, it is war minus the shooting.[/i:5a56um9q] [b:5a56um9q]George Orwell [/b:5a56um9q] [i:5a56um9q]There are none so blind as those who will not see.

What happened to your shares Steve by the way?

Can't speak for anyone else but my motives have been documented on hear from day one since I started posting and before I joined the board but to clarify are to make sure as a club we are open, honest and transparent with our fans and to help safeguard the clubs long term future while making it the very best it can be!!!

I don't want to own the club and have no desires to run it on my own and I don't believe it would be right for any one person to do so, to prove this I would be happy to donate my shares to the fans and or LISA at some point in the none to distant future.

This policy has been a driving factor in reneging the public of leigh and getting the project moving but we have not yet achieved anything or won anything yet.

I strongly believe in this club, town and it's supporters and as such I don't intend to give in, but to work hard to keep everyone singing from the same hymn sheet.

The ousting the old, and bringing in the new idea was mine and in mine and many people's opinions has been what has got us so far, in such a short space of time. By publicly speaking and being transparent it forces people less likely to do so to do the right thing. The journey is just beginning and must carry on.

The strength of our club lies absolutely in the strength, unity and vision of it's fans so I'd urge everyone to stay behind the team and the club, nothing to worry about and United we will succeed.

Thanks

Andy Mazey'"


I'm so happy to read that post. I'm glad our club is still in safe hands. icon_thumb.gif

Sounds reassuring but is a tad contradictory. In one breath you're fighting to keep everyone on same page. And I the next giving your shares away.

You talk of ousting the old, yet the concerns are that it is the old ousting the new.

I completely agree with starbug. The starting structure of the bom has done well to last as long as it has and that unless you were all truly aligned it will all boil down to who has most brass (therefore votes) rather than ideology.

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

First game was in 1967, and have been hooked since day 1. Now live in Vancouver, Canada but follow our team any way I can. “Up The Comics !”:17580.jpg



Thank you John Roddy. We've never met but from what I read and hear you have done our great club proud. eusa_clap.gif
Now I throw my support behind every member of our BOM and our great team.
I trust them all to continue to do what is needed to maintain the rise.

Did you get the financial commitment from him that you often said was a prerequisite for you to sell?

So what happened to the other shares? Does Allan Rowley still have his, and John Roddy? or is DB hoovering them up?

You mean my 1 pence per share if the buyer commits to putting £ 25,000 per share into the club over 3 years offer from 2007 ?

No icon_lol.gif ,that ' offer ' was designed to smoke out the supposed ' heavy investors being refused entry to Sporting Club ' at that time

My shares, like everybodys were/are worthless, they are nothing more than a commitment to invest more in truth ,strangely the morning Dereck rang me I was walking the dog contemplating how I was going to obtain almost the exact amount I was offered to settle a debt that would allow me to continue in business, very ' spooky '

However, I would have sold them to any of the current BOM as they all in my opinion have the best wishes of the club at heart, you have to remember Sporting Club Leigh was originally set up to prevent a single individual gaining an overall majority

I have no doubt that once again my comments and opinions will be construed as bitterness and personal attacks on the current administration, nothing could be further from the truth , they are just observations, I think the BOM are doing a good job up to now, and hope that Johns decision to step down does not stop or slow down the good work being done

Well said Andy. :CLAP: [/quote:1xb0p6sn] [quote="Steve":1xb0p6sn] Dislike Leigh with a passion, but they are a million miles ahead of any other club in this league, a sad fact. [/quote:1xb0p6sn]:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_24148.jpg



Quote: waterfield's finest "The beginning of the end of the BOM in its "In it together" glory was revealed here. Actually it was apparent quite a lot earlier but this was when it was apparent. Played a shrewd game has DB it would seem.

Are we all still in this together?

Whatever happens, Andy Mazey's efforts to get a consortium together were immense and he's provided a professional face to the club and been a brilliant spokesperson. The fact that the remainder at the club hasn't been able to say so, and has instead resorted to petty changes to the program and negative publicity in twitter bodes ill for our future PR.

We might be doing a featherstone soon.'"


Hello again WF!

So what does Positivity Pete think of the fact that we won the league by 15 points, increased crowds massively, retained all our best players, are going full time next season and are just 80 minutes away from becoming the Champions?

Just curious... seeing as you haven't posted since the last time you thought things were going wrong icon_biggrin.gif
