Mapleyther not being funny but how do you know if there is or isn't them people there?

You have no idea like myself

People seems to believe certain posters words as fact

When to be honest the club in recent years manage to plug leaks from certain people who would shoot on here as soon as they heard a player had broken wind in training

Lets stop giving ammo to the so called man at bar who people would believe is destroying the club with there tittle tattle and to be honest the said man doesn't really stop anyone from attending.

Simple fact is people don't buy into the franchise nonsense and one season out of 20ish years in the lower league does more damage to us to be true as a whole generation as grown up not seeing us play in the top flight

There is nothing more I can add to my previous post.

Ahead of Thursday's Co-operative Championship clash with Halifax, the Leigh Centurions Board Of Directors, coaches, players and staff have once again urged the Leigh public to get behind the club.

A Centurions spokesperson said;

"This is a huge game for our club, and we need to show potential new investors that there is a great opportunity at Leigh Centurions."

"We have a thriving fan base, we have fantastic corporate sponsorship support, we have a Leigh team playing the best rugby the club has seen in years, and we have facilities at Leigh which are the envy of many Super League clubs."

"The potential our club has, is tremendous, but we need you now more than ever!"

"Please come along on Thursday night and prove to potential investors that Leigh Centurions is the fantastic opportunity we know it be."

Leigh Vs. Halifax takes place on Thursday at 7:30pm at Leigh Sports Village

Taken from the official website....does that look and sound as though we will fold next week?

Spin. Count how many times they use the word "potential" in that statement. As far as I am aware you cannot write that on a piece of paper and take it to the bank. I don't blame the club, at this point they are hardly going to come out and say "we're doomed" whilst they are still hoping for a white knight - they want to convince him/her/them that there is a going concern to be entered into here. But unless backers emerge, sooner or later they are going to have no option but to turn to the fans for financial assistance.

I am ready, as are others. As you have already made quite clear, you are not. What amazes me is why you persist in visiting and posting on these boards. Surely with your attitude you would be better served simply turning up to watch the matches as long as they keep happening and enjoy them.

Sorry, but you read folding club I read club inviting potential investors to the club to talk it over,then again people would sooner see the worst in any post the club makes?

Time will tell what the real situation is. I really cannot see the issue with having a Plan B though. Whats your plan B - going watching W*g*n?

Why does everytime I suggest things will be resolved its oooh go watch wigan??????

Fine you believe doom and gloom me I'll carry on giving my support as I have done for decades

Like my original request were is this break even figure come from????

In 1year there will still be a leigh 5,10,15,50,100 years there will still be a leigh

I await the usual oooh were doomed captain doomed brigade to appear

Even if a whole posse of 'white knights' (wrong collective noun probably ) come galloping over the horizon, I think it would still be an excellent time for the fans to be involved - especially financially. The mistake would probably be to sit back and say 'We're saved!', then four years down the line...........

Fine alan get the fans to chuck in great,we have lisa for that its set up for that.

Hopefully they will get a increase in membership and we can use that money to secure more of the great local talent we have.

But once more were is this 4k break even figure???????

JiC, how much does the club lose every year, that AT filled the gap for ?

I like everyone on here as no idea,please tell us?

Where is this 4k break even figure?

Proper Leyther!!!

I think Trever Hunt mentioned 2,500 was needed to break even (Jack Dearden thought it was 3,000 but Trevor was adament it was 2,500 after he'd interviewed someone at Leigh).

2,500 , 3,000 or 4,000 are all figures that I'm sorry to say are totally unrealistic figures in the Championship.
Widnes struggle to average that and they have a relative recent history of major success in RL and have played in SL for more than 1 season (thus have a fan base built from that to fall back on).

The projections should be 1,800 for the bigger championship clubs (Us, Fax, Fev, Barrow) with the rest looking at a break even of 900- 1,000, sorry figures but IMO the realistic ones.

Yep, head, sand, dig and place in hole.

Lets see what Trev does and how he communicates after he's seen the numbers. The accounts for 2009 show a debt to AT of well over a million and growing - now JiC why would that be??

I slightly disagree with you about our ability to increase our gates.
If we can be consistantly good in this league i believe we can get 3000 gates. If we are to increase the gates beyond that figure then every decision the club makes needs to be the right one with quite a few brave ones as well.
