'Hi-Ho Silver Lining'
Headingley 05th October 2014.:1392.gif |

| Quote: Leyther_Matt "A very positive meeting. I would say the headline would be that financially the club made a loss this year (less than £20,000 was mentioned by Keith Freer, who did add that in the previous two years we'd lost £250,000 and £300,000 respectively) and that next season's "break even" figure is an average attendance of 1,700.
Northern Rail Cup confirmed as group stages for Championship One clubs initially with the 14 Championship clubs entering at the knock out stage (didn't hear how many C1 sides would actually qualify though unless it's as simple as two qualify to make a 'last 16'?).
No more first team signings apart from the 4 dual reg players that we're looking to bring in - given the tie ups elsewhere, these are going to be from Wigan but it will be Leigh who choose the players and want somebody like Spencer who will be involved with Leigh more often than not and also buy in to the ethos of the team and the club. 18 players signed up for the U23's which will be supplemented by players not used in the first team and, if short on numbers, bringing in a player or two on loan from Wigan, although the RFL currently have no idea how many U23 sides will actually be operating.
Also a dashing young chap won the raffle.
Hope that's helpful to those who had issues listening to the broadcast.'"
Cheers for that Matt,
The big push should now start for hitting the 1,700 which should be easily achievable with a club of our size.
On that note though was there any mention of Fri night fixtures ?
PS :
I presume 'dashing young chap' now means something else these days or else you could be done by the trade descriptions act
Have you donated you raffle winnings to the Jambos cause ?

| A very positive meeting, and like trev said, just think were we where at this time last last year, it reakky is a credit to ALL involved at the club. Also trev said to me after meeting, we has requested the majority of game to be played on a sunday, but will have to see what the rfl fixtures planners come back with, 75% of people cant be wrong.

And Hopkins and Thornley and Aspinwall and somebody whose name began with an S I think.

| Hi Guys, just felt I should nip on and apologise for the radio failure tonight.
There's nothing worse than sitting there with everything going wrong and knowing there's people out there just waiting to listen. Unfortunately nothing we tried would work, it looks to me now like the intermittent connection crashed part of the server software, once I realised that we could publish an alternative link to connect but sad to say it was a little late.
Fred will be posting his video soon so not all is lost but I am sorry to those who were disappointed by our failure, I assure you that you weren’t as disappointed as we were.

Bit low on numbers in the pack. Apart from hooker we only have Finnegan, Taylor, Goulden, Ryan Duffy, Ostick, Parker, Briscoe, Rowe.
(Duffy & Rowe are untried at this level)
Oh forgot ..... Hopkins. Did he mention Thornley? Plus 2 pies (1 hopefully Spencer).

Referees are like women, they make snap decisions and never reverse them.

Talk about being bitched - what a torrid time they've had. They'll be looking for some A&E rest time for the next three years at least.:simpsons/PDT13.gif |

| Good to see the club is back operating at a sustainable and realistic level. Hopefully average of 1,700 can be met, with the chance of a cup run.
Need a couple more props, although Ryan Duffy had a good year with Barrow looking forward to seeing him this season. Anyone of Spencer/Crosby/Burke would do nicely from Wigan.

| I think the signing of Higson will mean Littler moving into the 2nd row.
Sounds like positive news, 1700 is doable easily as it sounds like we're back to Sundays.
Come on Leyth, excited for this season now.

Must be getting old. PR was talking about Tom Spencer being a possibility on DC.

| I'd be suprised if we get Tom Spencer, Wigan's pack is thin on the ground, especially if Hock goes too.

Yes, Andy Thornley has signed. I suppose there are back row options with Beswick and Littler/Gardner too. However, it was mentioned that we had 18 signed up for the Under 23's so there should be an element of cover from there, for the forwards.

| For me last nights Forum was full of Positive vibes , from the position we where in last year at this time , the Board ,PR and his staff , and the Players have worked wonders , at a decent price i will back us to finish top of the League , and hopefully get to Blackpool .
When PR announced his playing Squad last night , we seem to have many options in the Pivot positions , which is very good ,hopefully these play makers can release Ryan Brierley to do his stuff , and its a case of Happy Days .
Im really looking forward to next season , with the addition of the DRs ,our squad is stronger than last year , we just need a few more Fans through the Turnstiles now to show Faith in the lads , i was also impressed with the way PRs backroom staff spoke last night .

| Salford 30 Dec and Pies 6 Jan both at home.
We always beat those two clubs these days.
It is many seasons since we have lost 2 the Pies even though we have played them a couple of times.
