FAX REALISE THEY NEED TO GO FORWARD WITH CROWDS, AND OFF THE FIELD ACTIVITIES TO GET TO WHERE WE DESERVE TO BE.
GOOD LUCK WITH THE COMING SEASON....ITS GONNA BE A CLOSE ONE ME THINKS.

Not knocking 'Fax, but would take issue on the 'getting nowhere' bit. From being 'relegated' the previous season, to finishing third & appearing in the NRC semi final, was immense progress, from where we started out. Leigh have opted for the steady progress route and who's to say that's the wrong way to do it? 'Fax have been deservedly successful of late, and who's to say their way of doing it is wrong? Ther's no right and wrong way of getting there, as long as the club remains viable and makes progress.
Looking forward to more progress this season!

I'll make an educated translation from Yorkshire to English...
Where did I say that 'Fax won the league? I said that Bradford won a few. The point is Leigh spend big money on a has been Scrum Half and a coach from down under and get nowhere.
'Fax realise that they need to go forward with crowds, and off the field activities to get where we deserve to be.
Good luck with the coming season, it's going to be a close on I think.

Yes your right. As has been said one will be remembered as the Champions of 2010 and the other, well no one will remember what they did in 2010.
I thought i would have a nosey and see how long before the topic derailed but back on topic i chuckled to myself about the 10K figure but you gotta dream havnt you. If you didnt dream you would just realise that theres no chance of going anywhere in this sport and that it is dieing a slow death.

| Doesn't matter 'who cares' or not it's another FACT that is overlooked and for what it's worth winning the league should be the premier title not the play-offs (if people want going back to promotion and relegation then go the whole 'hog' and have the right team promoted -the one thats been the most consistent over 30 games instead of 2 or 3) but it would seem we have adopted another Australian/American idea through the back door.

| Totally agree with you ,its quite ludicrous that a club can be named champions on the back of a few games when the REAL champs are the club that won the league ,to think if there was P&R and the league winners didn't win the play offs what a travesty that would be.

| The guy has said 10,000 is the LONG TERM Target. If you do not set tough goals you often wont be pushing yourself to the Max. We have seen the usual gimmicks tried at various clubs and it has brought little response. Bradford for example have tried various different schemes that many have thought wierd or sceptical. But a number have worked including the latest Season Ticket Offer. So maybe out of the box ideas are worth giving a go at.I am glad somebody with a knowledge of marketing is prepared to put his head on the block and come out with the statement. Maybe He and Fax will fail. But least they will have tried. Its something the whole game needs to do and look at various ways at improving Crowds as well as the way clubs are run. The game needs people like this in our game as most running the game and clubs are clueless or happy to just drift along until they are forced to make changes often at the last minute.

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 |

Spot on , unless you aim high , you don't get high , as I put on the Fax board , unlikely scenario I know , but if you were to achieve a 6/7000 average in the Championship the RFL would have a very difficult time refusing you entrance if there were several SL clubs getting considerably less , and yes there are no ideas that are not worth trying , no matter how ' odd ' they might seem , we have nothing to lose , in fact I will be contacting Fax to suggest they consider providing travel for the Leigh fans to the match at the Shay in April
If they were to try it , I will do all I can to help , and hopefully so would the Leigh Centurions , and last but not least hopefully the Leigh fans would support such an initiative and travel in large numbers

| Better to have tried and failed (if we do) THAN NOT TO HAVE TRIED AT ALL.
You can all sit about moaning and moping about Fat Boy's latest ruling or take some positive action. Wakey and Cas have done nothing for 3 years and might well ( and should ) be kicked out of SL but will be hoping yet another set of blueprints will save them.
Get off yer s and be positive.
