Quote: jesus-is-coming "ok lets spins this on its head

are you happy with being twined feeder club agreement whatever you call it?

if the club says next year can't wait to a feeder club again because we get free players?

or do you want to follow a independant team? like us poor outcast who have made a stand?

for once instead of saying I support leigh I will follow them over a cliff pick what you want and have the balls to back it

fine if your happy with it as it stands good luck to you...the empty 9000 seats tell a different tale'"



Come on mate it's getting a bit boring now.

I invite you to come and sit down at the club with us and see what it actually is your against and the reality behind it. Before I got involved I was dead against it but once I saw what it actually entails it became insignificant and has been a great benifit to our club this season.

The BOM will be reviewing the situation with Paul at some point no doubt as I've stated before but reality is a desicion will be made in the best intrests of Leigh Centurions on the whole and nothing else and not to try and win back what we believe is now a minority who are not coming solely because of DR.

Serious offer come and sit down and have a chat with us and see for yourself what the situation is.

Really is time to let this drop now and all move on together as great things are happening and it really isn't an issue in the wider scheme of things.

Where as at Hilton Park we were turning them away.
Get real we have to play the hand we're dealt and we can't up the stakes without the numbers in the ground.....By your logic if we we're a feeder club, which we're not, and filling the place you'd be a very lone voice in a big crowd.... You want things to change support the club, it's not as if your £16 quid goes anywhere but keeping our team alive.

How is education supposed to make me feel smarter? Besides, every time I learn something new, it pushes some old stuff out of my brain. Remember when I took that home winemaking course, and I forgot how to drive?:icons077e_files/4864-863FALH-msnicons.jpg

9000 empty seats will you give your head a very big shake. In my time of watching Leyth the best average was in our League winning season of 81/82 about 5900.
Can I pick the cliff?

2015 - major missed opportunity, 2016 - stronger teams = harder task (no problem there then), 2017 - OMG What now!!!:953.jpg



JIC most have moved on from the 70s. I don't particularly like it but happens and has done several times in the last 3 years. Please stop posting like you deserve a medal or want the red carpet treatment.

I know how much of my hard earned has gone to the club this season. Hope you got something worthwhile with the money you have saved.

So 9/10 but you still won't come and help the BOM take our team forward. You're stance beggars belief I'm afraid d040.gif
- You stay away for one and only reason according to you.
- That reason exists because of our recent financial strife.
- Because of our new current financial situation, the realistic best possibility of it being scrapped is if our crowds improve by not an unattainable amount.
- so basically you want everyone else to payroll you're return. icon_eek.gif

J.I.C f# off negativity is not going to help is it??? We are in a situation that leigh rlfc is trying to become self efficient. The agreement with wigoon was to our benefit ad and when WE needed extra bodies. I agree that you require a medal or some kind of self appreciation, for your 7 who do not attend I have 4 young sons that want to support leigh with thanks to Simon ( Finnigan ) and Ryan ( brierley ) attending St. Peter's . These are the future fans who hopefully will let my future grandchildren invest there time and embrace the ethos leigh rugby league. Although I personally have struggled to attend as many matches as would of liked I AM A LEYTHER THROUGH AND THROUGH unfortunately I am not as rich as I would like to be but we now have a board of business men that have put funds in to entertain the mere mortal leigh fans. I bet you wanted rid of previous boards well my fellow Leyther buy into the new era and support these lads that turn out for a sport they love and to ENTERTAIN us. Comeback see the positives and open your eyes or heart to a new era.

Quote: jesus-is-coming "Now there you go again making things up we have stated why we have stopped make it go away and my party of 7 re appear next season,simply as that, cannot make it any clearer than that'"

Jeff , I just want to know why YOUR party of 7 don't attend games at the moment ?Is it because YOU don't ?And will they start attending when YOU do ?If so then you really must be JIC ,as they follow you mindlessly icon_lol.gif icon_lol.gif , you must have a great deal of influence on them icon_eek.gif .

As for the Neverending DCs agreement , for me it is a means to and end , Wigan are providing us with players ,PR chooses to use them ,as additions to our squad , we are NOT a feeder club never will be , get over it Jeff .

Our current BOD , are busting a gut to make the Club a Success , and encourage Supporters to come back , I cant fault them , the Matchday experience is improving every week , if someone makes a suggestion or has an idea it is looked at to see if it is feasible ,there are no secrets anymore , they are all open to speak to any Fans , what more can they do ?

Charlie isn't bothered about the stayaways ,but I know the BOD are and I support them .

I echo this Charlie icon_thumb.gif
In view of that I am no longer going to comment on the stay aways who claim it is because of the Wigan link. I will leave it to the BOM.
So back on topic, I have just finished watching our lads beat Halifax and have to say that apart from our completion rate, the lads played a blinder. They are making a statement on the field that echos this threads original theme. They obviously think something special is happening as they are putting their all into playing and training. Their passion for Leigh is plain to see.
"Something Special" is happening for sure. icon_cool.gif

A fool shows his annoyance at once, but a prudent man overlooks an insult”:



Thanks for the replies,but if it seems boring ,why ask the question why people have not returned????

I got accused of finding another reason next season for not attending if we get rid of twinning but yet again have stated our party of 7 have given up for the twining,you either believe your reason for not attending and back it or like most of our country run along like sheep

Andy there is no point for a sit down meeting as my views are clear which you all know,like someone said next year it will be scraped,so why not grab the headlines and state you have scrapped it???

The general response if you chat to people who do not attend is the farce that was franchise coupled with the twinning means its seen as a reserve league,like it or lump it that's the view,now the usual suspects will be on saying who the bar stool fools well the bar stools are getting fuller

Sometimes you need to step away from something to view what other people see

I will let it rest now and will not reply[sure I heard a cheer then] until the new season is upon us,I wish you well and hope you find a way of running the club without twinning

I have always opposed Licenscing and Twinning both of which have hurt crowds all across the game.

Twinning like licenscing is finished at the end of this season. Good.

You and others have made your point but as they are both over you could return now and help our club go forward.

I doubt the missing seven would return until we place a full apology in the national papers .
