I remember driving onto moors to put up and drop off Graham when his companies has sponsored coaches so Graham is a fan.
All fans whomdont like dual regs sign up to lisa or touchdown v
Club .
More money that the club gets independently less dual regs we will see.

SO WE currently have around 1500 'small minded' speccys.....BLESS !

The most worrying part of your post is not the ' small minded ' part, it is the 1500 part

Why people should feel alienated by something that is of benefit to our club are seriously in need of understanding the situation but as various people have tried to explain, it would appear that some do not want to listen especially as it's like beating ones head against a brick wall. A lot are against it (me included) but are still supporting the club, as for 'funding it' well that really does beggar belief and is in all honesty laughable as the only 'winners' are us.

Not when you only find out at the last minute which player your getting....how can you have a structure and a gameplan when it could be any one of a dozen or more players.

Once again, lets be clear, you cannot tell somebody how to feel, only actions or a change of circumstances will do that, so then its a case of should this independant MB have rules against ' negativity ' ?

The other question is replying to this negativity in a ' negative ' way a good thing?

Many see non attendance as a ' black and white ' issue when in truth like the novel it is probably many shades of grey , so I'd say either humour or ignore is the best policy in dealing with it

All just my opinion of course

your obvious misunderstanding of the structure of a team does you no credit, the reason you gave is the reason why we do not have any pivotal or 'general' type players on dual contracts nor does our head coach want this type of player as yes it could disrupt our style of play.

'Feelings' are often brought about by a persons ignorance or refusal to understand a particular thing that is either down to lack of information (not relevant in this case as the clubs policy on dual contracts has been explained) or being sheer bloody minded by refusing to accept the explanation or by not understanding the stance of in this case Leigh Centurions on the subject, so why bring up the topic of 'independent message board' or 'negativity'? when neither appears relevant, a persons refusal to do anything is that persons business but by 'outing' that reason on a public forum 'asks' for it to be replied to, so should free speech also be banned on an independent or in fact any public forum because it may get a response from someone with a different viewpoint?

again all just my opinion and if anyone chooses not to accept it then my 'sig' says it all

Nobody's telling anyone what to think or how to feel Steve as far as i can see. I post on here as a fan myself and if I know someone is saying something which is factually incorrect and/or detrimental to the club I will exercise my right to correct them.

To me The Wigan Partnership was done out of nesesity by the previous BOD and down to lack of finance and resourses in our club at that time. I can't come out and say it will be scraped nor are all the inherited problems and debts are yet cleared but it will certainly be reviewed by the new BOM I will say that much.

While taking onboard all the critism constructive and non constructive Im personally not to intrested in anyone who's not attending at present I'm more focused on getting new people in that stadium going forward, once the non attendees see it really is changing and is new and exactly what we are trying to do hopefully they will come back no doubt will still critise but if they pay thier money and help us succeed in making the club the best it can be then so be it.


Andy

spot on.you get some complain when they hear nowt then you get moaners when someone keeps you up to date.
im happy andy comes on here and for one think its the way forward,keep us informed mate.
we are changing direction and its gonna take time but i for one think its finally going in the right direction.if the moaners dont like it just remember if it works out and in five years time we are where we want to be maybe you might stop the moaning.....over and out

Without doubt nobody can complain they dont now know why we are in this ' deal ' with Wigan, despite the original ' Waffle ' we were fed

So as I said ' Humour or ignore '

or educate?

Its too emotive a subject Fred, you can tell them till you are blue in the face , its like religeon or politics , there is evidence that huge lizards roamed the Earth millions of years ago and yet people believe in some mythical ' Being ' with no more evidence than a fairy story

Starbug are you seriously suggesting you have never seen a Pixie ?
