Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity
Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike
SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done
But he with a chuckle replied
That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.

| I have noticed a ' drift ' on this thread , lets get back to the O/P , so will you all be happy having Leigh Centurions owned/run by a Supporters Trust ? , which as I pointed out , would almost certainly remove any chance of ever getting into SL
If people want to discuss the Community Trust , start up your own thread

You posted ST , when you meant CT
As for what they have done , do you want me to get overall numbers of kids worked with ?, programmes delivered ?, players employed ? , awards recieved ?
Dont forget , what the apprentices will be doing is fairly similar to what the Community Dept/Trust has done for years , so unless the club changes what it has/hasn't done afterwards , then the results wont improve
Unfortunatley there is no way of actually counting how many new supporters have been brought to the club as a result of community work , unless of course you start of with the ' Census ' of the club I first suggested to the BOD several years ago , and to the PSG last november
Only by first doing that can you get a true indication of any initiatives success or failure

By this you mean what exactly?
Ticket offers, generally converting people into Leythers? How would you personally persuade people to support? (This is not a dig btw, maybe its something we can discuss with the club at the next meeting/fans forum)

| Ah so I did.
Sorry to keep going on about this but one of the things I don't understand it you say you thought of building a database with DOB etc years ago, but why, as a director of the Community Trust, (something which you say is your passion), didn't you or one of the professional people involved in it, ever implement it through the CT?
Surely that should have been one of the first things they should have done?
Instead, it's has been left to a bunch of 'amateurs' to build the database up from scratch, something which they've done very well in the last couple of months I might add.
Just for the record, I'm not involved in it.

Too much to go into right now , I'v work to do , but we all agree Friday night was fantastic , that was due to 3 things
1 the visit of a world class team
2 a large number of away fans
3 a large number of home fans
Well we cant do anything about the world class opposition , but the other two things can be achieved with a little foresight and some hard work
Confucious he says , use net to catch fish , better than a hook and line

| Personally I think we must keep the super league dream alive.
Friday night showed us how good this could be we cannot abandon the holy grail and I'm afraid thats what super- league is.
Who knows about future sugar daddies don't think we can rule out anything at this stage.
If I felt we ever reached the point where it was a ST or fold then I would support it.
I think starbugs views are tainted by his personal disappointments with the current regime

| Lets get back on track, there is a thread about Community Trust, although community ownership is what a Supporters Trust should be all about - we have tremendous passion, we need to unite it and engage it behind a common goal with a clear statement of intent.
Many hands make large revenue streams.
On a related point, are LISA now a shareholder?
