Quote: mr. chairman "well at £4000 a month i dont blame them for moving , you can rent a shop in leigh town Centre for £150 a week , tell you what we will be next, after the hotel closes'"


why on earth would you agree to 'take up a lease' at that price, at Manchester City Centre prices - bizarre

Mines a pint... 'Hi-Ho Silver Lining' Headingley 05th October 2014.:1392.gif



No shock.
Current climate won't have helped (along with the club underperforming = less speccys =less cash/interest, vicious circle).

Town centre would be better placed for people mooching around town (if theres any shops left to mooch around icon_cry.gif ) or Leigh Market.

A trailer vehicle at the ground on matchdays would surely be a winner (and if they get charged too much rent for that a strategically placed trailer near the ground would suffice icon_wink.gif ).

How long before the LSV is just used by Blackburn reserves and Wigan for there "B" grade SL fixtures icon_confused.gif:

Despite ongoing efforts to keep the outlet open, we have been fighting a losing battle, due to the limited footfall within the Leigh Sports Village, allowing for minimal sales and mounting costs required to keep the facility running.

Maybe the gap in between home league fixtures does not help
the shop
the team
the Leyth supporters

There are a few fixtures close to 14 days as in one week home the next week away, I suppose that is too much to ask for next season.
I also think the above spread in days between games puts people off from going to the games.

What else could you have there bar a club shop? Don't get why lease is high seems very silly!

But maybe if all those who said 'enjoy a mouch' round there bought something you'd have been ok icon_wink.gif

It something so simplistic yet the games current "rulers" are incapable or unwilling of formatting a basic home /away formular (or as near as damn it).

I noticed Blackpool Panthers complained recently about the farce that is the fixture format in the local press, last home fixture was 24th May , next home fixture 28th June - however they also had no away fixtures in that time either making it a big mid season gap icon_eek.gif

This is very sad news. On the occasions I have been in and bought stuff in the shop i thought it was excellent.
I do think they could have had more diverse stock and less Centurions stuff...especially with the college and sport centre around the corner.
You would think a "Sports Village" needs a sports outlet...not just 'Centurion' only shop.

Agreed very sad news but yet again it doesnt help when they are paying well over the odds for a store that people only go to en mass on match days which we all know are too and far between.......Maybe if we had home matches every other week it might have been more viable and made the money needed to stay open.

Went in nearly every home game as the staff were excellent, hope they find something else or are used else where in LSV......

Well done LSV thats another empty space your over pricing has created, only need to get rid of the bar, get relegated then we'll have the pies playing there just to recoup some money [what w!6an MBC probably wanted all along]

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



I am beginning to wonder if the good people from W"£$n Council want to create a white elephant which would then be blamed on the good people of Leigh, thus giving them an excuse never to do anything for our town ever again. It would seem they are well on there way to it. Not the expected takeup of the facilities and the ones that are are now leaving.

The LSV has been hit with two things. The first and most obvious is the current recession, companies are holding back from investing in new ventures until the economy settles down. No company is prepared to take up the retail space on the village in the short term. The second would appear to be the unrealistic expectations of the LSV company when it comes to generating income for the site. The stadium itself is trying to hire the space at pricing levels similar to Wembley stadium. This is Leigh for gods sake, an old mining town with below average income levels and above average un-employment levels. The money isn't in the town to justify the prices the LSV company want to achieve. They need to lower their expectations and dare I say lose one or two of the "fat cat" salaries they are paying to executives.

One has to wonder whether they factored a stadium sponsorship deal in to their budgeting as well icon_surprised.gifops:
