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.

The target should be to make the experience of watching Leigh Centurions at the LSV attractive enough to get as many of the towns population wanting to enjoy it

Seriously??
There are at least 1000 lapsed fans our there, who already have a "taste".
With the right things going on I would suggest there is a better - more economical - chance of pulling them back than 1000 new blood.
Think you need to listen to your hubby more sometimes  |

Has something happened that I dont know about?
Are we playing for promotion this year?
Have the club activated a shed load of initiatives designed to fill the stadium with fans?
Will the East stand be packed with families next match?
Will there be several hundred away fans all enticed to attend on subsidised coaches?
Has ' GLOW ' been challenged to bring his entire street to the game?
If the answer to these questions is yes, then who are we playing? , I might need a hat

Just pointing out to them ( those that think its all about personalities ) that there is more to it than a change of personel, it is about what those personel do, not who they are
So when is the Swinton double header / mini beer and lobby festival?

IF YOU ARE NOT PART OF THE SOLUTION YOU ARE PART OF THE PROBLEM.
We all have to do what we can as individuals, and let others worry about what they (the investors) can do. Everyone can buy a ticket, stand on the terrace and cheer the team on until they are ho (well I can't but you know what I mean!).
You might have 20 reasons/excuses/justifications or however else you want to dress it up, not to attend - you only need one reason to attend - you love Leigh Centurions.

Steve
With all due respect nobody is short sighted enough to believe its simply a case of changing personel. Lots of ideas are being kicked around but we are seven days in to a new beginning so patience is required.
I wouldnt normally put this on here but Cards on table Steve, ive spoke with Linda and id like you both to meet me for a chat next week lets document your ideas let me take them away and digest them and come back to you with what resources we can realistically make available this season to implement some of your ideas. If I do this would you work with me as part of the community team we are putting in place to implement yours and other ideas? I will personally finance projects to get children and families in our stadium if thats what it takes, so rather than posting on here type them on quick email to andy.mazey@leighrl.co.uk and let's do something about it.
Just for the record Martin contacted me via the forum a while back and we have exchanged emails. Martin has pledged his suport to me and has agreed to meet me and it is my intention to see what he needs from me/ the club to get those kids back in a the stadium and making some noise again on a regular basis.
Rome wasn't built in a day Steve please come and join the community team which im leading and let's work together on your ideas and much much more.
Your passion and experience is to much to be sat at home typing on forums please join us.
Cheers
Andy |

| The ' Draft ' was penned last weekend 
I know I'm a bit of a brocken record at times, its just frustration I think
How much can be done this year is a difficult one, the planning involves months, but we'll have to see |

Good man will drop you a line to see when your free Monday.
As a starters for tens all U12s will be allowed in free for the NRC game so everyone look out for the details from the official channels.
The Touchdown Club also have a really good value fathers day special for just thirty pounds per head so look out for that one also.
