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
