Perhaps some people want to acquire rugby clubs with bags of tradition and potential?

Plenty millionaires throwing money at football, with most I'll bet losing millions

A rugby club should be a much more cost effective investment, though albeit lower key

tell that to the chairmen of warrington,huddersfield and quins.

They could buy the whole sport with what they are paying out for one fusball club, now that would be a great tax deductible expense.

And you are honestly convinced that the name of the club is what is keeping 'the missing millions' from attending......and all those potential big money investors??

Tell you what - you find someone with several million to sink into the club, and he can call it whatever he wants!!!

So, why not just have the town crest then?? Seems a bit stupid to have something you detest as your avatar!!

You might as well have a W*gan badge up there!!

Possibly - at least in terms of merchandise

I haven't bought a new shirt since the Leigh Cent-ur-i-ons era started, and won't be doing so until the club goes back to being called Leigh Rugby and makes it out of decent quality

I did buy the unofficial traditional long sleeved cotton shirt with only the towns crest on - Majestic

When Frank and I were lads they were the "Comics".
Not seen much to change this in recent years.

We could revert and approach other well know, fairly local comics for some sponsorship - the comedy club is already quite famous throughout the UK!

The branding for the Leigh Centurian is completely wrong anyway, the Roman soldier on the badge is a legionary. The centurian wears a completely different head dress, we cant even get that right.

It could be worse we could have spelt it wrong

Welcome to the message board

Thanks, i move to Wales nearly twenty years ago,but sill come to the games.

I just feel we need to be run more like a business than letting the supporters let loose in every department of the club.

Maybe its ok for the supporters to try and pick a new badge possibly a comp in the local paper, winner a family season ticket, runners up a Widnes one.

Such as?? Just maybe if more clubs used the expertise of there supporter base than all clubs could grow together?

I hate sky's obsession with calling every team by their Americanised surname. Has anyone heard someone say they are a centurions, warriors or vikings fan? (or any other silly name)
Maybe the name isn't the most important issue but it's just shoddy, something that even soccerball hasn't adopted.

Like most things we need to embrace it rather than moan about it to make it work, every none RL fan I speak to refers to us as the Centurions so just maybe it does work. I work in Leeds and every single person refering to the RL club refer to them as the Rhinos.

Let push the brand rather sit around moaning and groaning.

Yeah I do agree, like it or not we are pretty much stuck with it. To be honest it isn't the worst one around.
