| Quote: Tipster Ste "You see Andy, you write back in your own unique style but never fail to let yourself down. Ive left in the bit that sadly lets you down. Ill ask you direct on this forum as you have brought it to the fore, who do you believe tells me anything?
Ill let you answer it then ill reply.
In addition you try to put me down ( a leigh fan on a leigh forum) who has ambitions of winning the Challenge Cup. Its narrow minded, half filled glass Leythers who IMO have held back the club. Aim high you might just achieve it. Is there any reason why we cant win, Sheffield did, we of course did in 1971.
Ill ask you another direct question why you try to belittle me; why cant we win it?? Give us all your wonderful insight why we cant win it?
For the record as i have previously stated i respect anyone who helps our great club in any way, shape or form. That would be from the guy cutting the grass, the video man (Hello Fred), the director who puts in £5k, the director who puts in £50K, the director who puts a million in.
What i fail to understand why YOU need to be commended and not the other 9 who formed the original BOM. As far as I know 2 others log in on this site, one frequently (Neil) and one occasionally (Ste Opey). Why arent others asking for their continued mention after all havent they dont the same as you?
The point of this thread was to celebrate the signing of another great acquisition to what is the best Leigh squad since 1982. Yet its derailed into you actually believing you have helped to play a part in these acquisitions by changing the profile of the club. If you believe it then it must be true,.........
I think you are reading into things that aren't there Ste. I have of course heard of selective memory but selective reading is a new one to me.....
My name was brought into the thread I hadn't previously posted, you then proceeded to comment and in my opinion disrespect my contribution to the clubs success hence me giving you a little reminder of the facts.
I always from day one championed the BOM as group of people of which I was just one of. As a communications director and having been given social responsibilities for the club at the time we got together as part of my duties my name tended to crop up more than most and my head was always above the parapet but every person added value in their own way and deserves respect for there efforts and commitment at a time when it wasn't as rosy as it is today.
I have also many times praised the likes of Steve Opy and others on here as he IMO was the unsung hero of our boardroom during my time and put in far more hours than I or anyone else did myself, Derek and everyone else included.
Your questions are very leading but not falling into the trap mate sorry better things to do with my time these days but as stated if you ever want to know anything about my situation don't listen to hear say you can have my number mate gladly.
I will however reiterate my earlier statement once again above as you clearly chose not to read it:
Its all old news we've all moved on and I was on the North Stand Sunday cheering on Paul and The lads and have publically gone on record as a supporter and shareholder supporting Derek as our major shareholder and owner since my departure and will continue to do so as I want more than anyone to see MY TEAM in SL.
That also includes Wembley mate id love nothing more and again as a stated I sincerely hope your right. I am however a little more realistic in life but hey here's hoping
Andy.

Honest answer because Paul picks the players Derek does the deals as per the press releases. The day any clubs signings go through a board of directors is the day that coach gives up...

Your refusing to expand on what this means, who do you believe tells me anything?
You see Andy your great at throwing in remarks like that but then side step the question.

Luck of the draw, home games till the semis' and then a decent draw anything's possible then, the thing is though although your favourites and will probably top your league, it will become a lot harder with 4 SL teams' in the comp. and irrespective of how you go on there with the other 7 clubs, would you want the distraction of a good cup run which might hinder what is surely your main ambition to reach SL.

| Andrew Dixon is a quality no nonsense player. He works very hard and is the sort of player every team needs.
He played every minute of our 2013 Season but didn't get as much game time last year. I'm a bit surprised Salford have let him go but I think he will do really well at Leigh.
All the best to Andrew in his new career at Leigh.
All the best to Leigh for the new Season it should be an interesting year for all teams.
