Milehighclub..When you put has much time and effort into Leigh Rugby that Fred and his lads have done over the years the last thing you expect is someone slagging you off on the fans website..Over the years the time and effort Fred has put into the club mostly at his own expense is outstanding by any stretch of the imagination myself and many other Leigh Supporters have nothing but admiration for Fred and his lads True Leythers who are Leigh Centurions right to the bone the story Fred quoted was already in the public domain I had seen it before Fred had mentioned it on here so before you go slagging hard working people off who have the Centurions at the heart of their very exsistance and put in hell of a lot of hard work into helping out on our road to become one of the best clubs in UK Rugby League THINk..
Your post has really got my back up mate...

Mr Milehighclub I thnk you are getting a little hot under under the collar over nothing. Admitedly in the past someone has let out information before the club has made announcements but I think you are being rather unfair to Fred. Most certinly is not a "muppet" and I personally think you should apologise.

Milehigh , I agree with the last couple of Posters , regarding Fred Parky , the bloke is a Diamond , maybe wears his Leyther heart on his sleeve , but the whole Parky family do their bit for the Club , and don't deserve the message you posted .Everyone may not always agree with Fred , I don't sometimes , but he is Leyther through and through , as for the Centurions TV ?Its much better than the Parkinson Show I presume you meant Michael ?Fred works endless hours for our club , and is entitled to advertise Centurions TV , whenever he gets the chance , im a subscriber , and thinks its a great value effort , keep up the GOOD work Fred , and bring us more scoops . Charlie wants to know .

Bottom line in this is most people only believe it once the club formally release it via a press release.
In terms of Fred and Dave I'm personally glad they are involved as volunteers at our club so I disagree with one posters views.
That said lets not allow a new signing positive turn into a negative, a 'Storm in a teacup' and 'delight' at a new signing........a day at Leigh Centurions is never dull.

The natives are upset by a perceived attack on one of there own.

Bottom line is people in positions of confidentiality and trust need to put their own egos to one side and thing about the club. Fred should use a bit more loaf and let people not connected with the club speculate.

Final comment on the subject, lock it and move on!

Fred, David and indeed all our fantastic volunteers are the heart and soul of our great club.

Criticism is unfair and uncalled for.

We can however as a club still learn lessons on the communication front and while Milehighclub has gone about saying it in a manner that is wrong he makes some good points which the Board are fully aware of and rest assured we will put right.

Let's not overlook the fact we've added another good player to a fantastic squad and have a game tomorrow and are not far away from the real business now.

Exciting times.

I think some people struggle to understand the concept of an [iunofficial[/i fans message board I really do. It is stories like the one appearing in the NW evening mail that is this forum's bread and butter. A swap deal already in the public domain between Leigh and Barrow involving up to 5 players.

It does not really matter one bit who made everyone aware of where it was published, but it WAS totally 100% relevant to a Leigh RL [iunofficial[/i fans forum .

It is a storm in a teacup but tittle tattle happens when people want to be first with news. The regular irritant to me is when posters , not on the BOD, take great delight in announcing that there is going to be an announcement. This gives the impression that a favoured few are 'in the know'.

I agree totally that's why I signed up to the forum to hear what was being talked about,it makes me feel like part of a family. Hope this doesn't mean if I hear anything that I can't put it on the forum.

Another good signing, well done Paul and the Board who are doing a superb job

Yes another fantastic signing.

No surprise that Leigh are having to cut their squad a little bit, its hard to run with a large squad at this level with the salary cap set so low.

Just out of interest which Haggerty brother was it that knocked Barlow out in the Sheffield Vs Widnes game a few years back?

That was an accident so I am not telling you.

Good signing to replace SF retiring......hope Bullock is the 1 we can recall IMO - 1st choice centre for me.
