And that's were I'm coming from.

as we sit here now at this moment.bottom 4 batley,keighley dewsbury leigh not nessersarily in that order

Where I sit I am looking to tick a SL box next year, we will win the NRC or be in the GF.

i hope your right and i'm wrong but unless we sign 3 really good players i dont think so

Cant see it Widnes, Fax and Barrow all have better teams and theres 3 or 4 teams on level par with us, so unless we bring in 3 or 4 SL quality players, I can see us being average.

To answer your question from my point of view:-

As a LISA and Lottery member, I try and help the club in a way I can afford,I stopped buying a national lottery ticket and buy one of our club every week instead and Ive been a LISA member for years.

What orginally attracted me to join was one of their "dos" they had which I attended and saw the benefits like the chance to meet the coach and players and understand how my £5 help us afford Adam Bristow etc.
In the early days LISA was much bigger and stronger, but since the club acheived reaching SL things have been on a downward spirral.

I try my upmost to get more members and its hard in the current climate we are in, but every penny LISA earn goes to the club for players.
aS ANOTHER POSTER has said AT cant fund this on his own, mwe need more fans through the turnstiles and more members of LISA or the Corporate Club to bring more quality players in.


I will be meeting the coach in the next couple of days to try and get him to help us try and gain more members and its in his best interests to help as he knows the more money we riase the more he has to spend.
If this doesnt help people understand why we need more members then I dont know what else to suggest.

As a member of LISA The Watcher would encourage all Leigh fans to join,however ,the moment any of LISAs funds went to pay a non playing member of staff is the moment The Watcher would stop being a contributer.
Oh and one more thing,a message to glow.....do not suggest a rule change when you are not even a member.

Maybe the Watcher needs to read whats written.

Maybe then he would see that I have been asking questions.

Before I decide where to spend my money, I like to know where its going, and why its being spent there and not else where.

And its attitudes like this why I didn't renew my LISA membership,
Anser this question picture this scenario, A club official comes to a LISA meeting and asks for £50K or else a creditor will wind the club up and asks can LISA donate £5K (if they had it), are people really saying that LISA wouldn't assist financially and see the club wound up?
ANY person can suggest ANYTHING ANYWHERE this is England not a banana republic, what they cant do is propose a rule change at a LISA meeting, you pompus pr!ck

Read what I put as a committee member please. If members wanted to vote for a different way their money is spent then if a majority decided that they wanted to employ someone to market the club, then thats what would happen, however I suspect we,d lose half of our members.

Well please reconsider as we go with what OUR members want and new isssues have to be voted in by the majority of members.

BUMP

I did, the issue of yours, AT’s or LISA members commitment, or where every penny goes was never in question.

And your quite right the decision on how that money is spent is and should be the choice of the membership.
