Ultimatley to benifit from the new structure the most requires clubs to build their businesses, primarily their fan bases , failure to do that will result in just dropping back down or financial implosion

Despite what anybody says, you cannot operate as a successful susstainable SL club on 3/4,000 attendances, unless of course somebody has a million quid to burn every year

It appears we are a long way ahead of all our Championship rivals both on and off the field to take advantage of the situation.
In addition the struggling SL clubs will be likely faced with additional financial challenges that will follow in terms of reduced attendances. There could easy be some financial implosions depending how well they manage to 'downsize' with the better players leaving and perhaps the lower quality ones wanting to see contracts through on SL money.
A well managed fully focussed Leigh Centurions run on professional business lines will never have a better chance re-establish itself for the long term at the top level.

Welcome back Steve.
Top line is vanity bottom line sanity - run anything on that and you wont go far wrong(provided you get the cash in)
We must grow top line to have any chance of improving bottom line, and paying spectators have a great role to play in doing that.
We will be unveiling our 2015 season ticket details very, very soon - 3500 average as a min next season

So your plan/hope is for other clubs to ' implode ' /lower their incomes so that Leigh can compete? ,wonderful , fantastic businessplan that is

To re-establish itself ( if we ever have been ' established ' ,I'd beg to differ ) needs a threefold increase in the home support base, that wont happen overnight or overyear, until we see that start to happen ( irrelivant to our on field performances ) we are light years behind being ready

3,500 averages based on what? , home fans? ,or the visits of Bradford and Wakefield?

Good to see you back anyway, your positivity is always a great motivator to me

Neil

So Bradford,Wakey and London it is then

You need to get back to ripping into Smokey

Johhny Walker has just scored on his début in the Reserves.

Any score updates Mish ?

Won 62-24

Wow that is impressive

Agree Frank another great win, well done lads.

He sounds like you from years gone by

I think Fax are trying to sneak in the back door. Finish 2nd this season, make the middle 8 next as Sheffield look like their time could be over and Fev could face financial ramifications of the loonies running the asylum, then try and grow from there knowing that the last place in the top 4 in the Championship is well up for grabs and if they can make that it could be a good platform.
