| Quote: jonny the leyther "The price I said was ST included.
How about if it was £30 PCM for a fans share?
If the fans were told that £x would be raised if we had x many members. Explain in detail the goals and purposes of the system, how it would secure the long term future of the club.
I trust the leythers to really get behind their club, I have no doubt it would work. If Lewes FC can make it work we could.'"

| Probably not the place to discuss the logistics of things here but I'd be willing to have a non prejudice conversation with Steve via email or telephone or even meet for a chat.

Is it possible to do some kind of poll on here to see what kind of support such a movement would receive???
I know it's only a minority of supporters who post on here but from reading these pages last few months its evident LISA people read these pages also so my question is to LISA and the TDC would you support this and do you share a similar vision??

POLLS ?They are what Jonny is all about , im sure he will sort one even two out .
As ive said im not a businessman , just an ordinary fan wanting the best for my club , like most who post on this Forum , im sure you would get strong support from us all if it is in the Clubs best interests .

| I'd also like to add to my comments in no way shape or form am I critising anyone who is currently working for the club FOC and that includes Trevor who is working for free. There are some great people working there socks off within Leigh Centurions and they would benifit in my option from a new direction and also a revolutionary new way taking this once great club forward with a long term goal of making trips on a Friday night to Places like Wigan not just as a one off but season on season as a competitive SL club.
Short term pain may be needed to be suffered to make it happen and it won't be easy and will be a mighty challenge and its evident things may need to go backwards to ultimately go forwards but if the fans are part of this and can see why and what is being done for the long term benifit of all they would IMO back it???
From what I've seen recentley and it's no real secret as Trevor has not hiden the financial problems from the fans the club is dieing a slow death and is not generating enough support to sustain its current model. Something needs to change long term.

| All this sounds so good , im not saying it isnt true , or it wont happen , but ive been a Leigh Supporter for a long time and am always sceptical about ideas and schemes , all Clowns are , its just me .
I genuinely hope something can come from this and be sorted out .

| I would also add and have stated to Trevor Barton I don't want to own the club or run it and have no hidden agenda or have no way of gaining anything personally or as a buisness from being involved.
Same as everyone else here I'm a fan.
Buisness is tough at present and day to day challenges running a company mean I couldn't commit full time to operational control of a RL club nor am I Steve O Conner with a few million to throw at a RL club but I can and would be willing to sit on a new BOD and make a financial commitment in some way as well as bringing new ideas and new sponsorship to the table both through my own companies and companies I partner with non of whom are currently associated with Leigh Centurions.
If we could get another four or five people like myself and LISA and TBC etc on board and the fans to buy in as shareholders and custodians of the club securing its future I will get involved but it would need genuine honest commitment up front.
Like I say I have no association with any previous or current directors simply a fan who's recently sponsored a few games and given Rob Parker some support and advice with a deep down love going back many years for Leigh.
Would be interesting if people come out and back this what could potentially happen.
We have so many boxes ticked we are an RL town and area and have far more to build on than many current SL clubs with the right format and structures in place and people with both finance and acumen on board it could happen people lets at least explore this we owe it to the town??

Fantastic.
Let's open some lines of communication and hopefully some intrest and suport can be demonstrated.
The way I see things is that the share holding is crucial to any progress and if can't be sorted and effectivley handed back in full at no cost or gain to current shareholders to facilitate some kind of share sale to raise the capital required to initially fund things it can't go any further.
Anyone intrested and feels they can add value to this subject please pm for my email address. If enough intrest is generated I am willing to initiate talks with Trevor Barton to see what if anything can be done.
For the record I've found Trevor very approachable and I feel we have mutual respect and I have his ear to some degree and won't abuse that. He is doing his best and lets not forget doing it for nothing also.
