Dave the guy from Emirates only sponsered Leigh last time because we were in SL , and to my knowledge it was only in the form of a roof advert on the Main Stand at Hilton Park , personally i dont think he would bother unless we are back in SL .
For me if Sponsers and potential Sponsers could be brought together in some way to support the Club and BOD , then its a way forward , what i heard from a few people yesterday gave out good vibes for our Future . |

Also had a retractable tunnel if my memory serve me.
Regardless of whether it was because Leigh were in SL the clb would be crazy not to ask the question, better than just assuming the answer is no.
I'm sure the cost to Emirates would be like petty cash compared to any other sponsorship deal they have at the minute |

Shame he has retired but if he enjoys rugby it may still be worth trying to contact him or Emirates or inviting him down to one of our games, although probably doesn't live any where near here now!

He lives in Warrington I am led to believe. Or at least has a house here. |

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 |

2015 - major missed opportunity, 2016 - stronger teams = harder task (no problem there then), 2017 - OMG What now!!!:953.jpg |

A mate of mine happened to be travelling next to a marketing bloke from Emirates, while my mate was wearing the SL shirt with the Emirates logo on. This got them talking... the bloke didn't know Leigh specifically, but he said that for a while, their policy was sponsoring sports teams with stadium roofs for one season, because nobody ever painted over their logo if it was huge and inaccessible. |

Bolton by birth,
Irish by blood,
LEYTHER by heart and soul!!
[quote="BBC Sport":suio7kr3]30/04/06 "Some of W*gan's travelling fans headed towards the exit before it was even over.".................no change there then!![/quote:suio7kr3]
[quote="Wembley71":suio7kr3].....They are our people. Drummond, Costello, Manfredi, Svabic, Martyn, Street, Tickle, Patel, Mossop, Horo, Bristow, Leuleui, Varley, Fleary, Rivett, Tabern, Doran, Woods, Donlan, Wilshire, Leaefa, Hansen, Sale, Murphy… these are all my people.
As a Leyther, you’re one of us the moment you come here to wear the shirt. I don't care where you were born, what colour you are, what religion you are, what language you speak. You're one of us, part of our culture, writing our history as you create your own, and making us stronger for it....[/quote:suio7kr3]:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_10303.jpg |

Sounds about right......the 'hoarding' certainly lasted a lot longer than our [isojourn[/i in SDL!! |

I said that as soon as it was painted on, they were never going to renew the deal and they were never going to see the sign painted over. Good business sense, most of those logos probably still remain. |

It wasnt painted, it was a banner, but still too expensive to bother with removing considering nobody else was interested in replacing it |

But neither of them saw the Leigh shirt with the Emirates logo as the main shirt sponsor? , did they 
Now that is a collectors piece |
