Well said. Though I think majority are behind him.
But just to get in with the theme of the thread, I have just been told the clubs vermin controller -Tiddles has not been fed his Whiskas this week.

| Quote Tipster Ste="Tipster Ste"What is confusing and disappointing, I will let you choose........ Is the fact that we have 25 shirt sponsors this year and we haven't contacted them to
A) see if they can contribute in our hour of need
B) thanked those that helped us to get to the end of the season
C) asked them if they are willing to reinvest in 2012
D) finally why have all 25 shirt sponsors who pumped in £25k this season not been invited to the end of season awards night as guests
All the above seem good opportunities to raise much needed funds and to be honest have the scope to pull in much more than asking fans to pay for a game we didn't get to.
I just hope Trevor isn't cutting ties with old contacts??'"
Ste,
Don't know the answers to A), B), D) - not very helpful, know! But they are in the process of being asked for 2012.
Trevor will not 'cut ties' with anyone who is willing to put money into our club - and in answer to the other poster, yes he does read this board!

Hopefully he's contacted the relevant people then - more likely to get the answers there

| Quote wildshot="wildshot"As a fellow RL fan I genuinely wish you all the best and hope this works out to a favourable solution. RL needs a competitive and prosperous Leigh club. On the field you've been impressive under Millward and I hope this continues for you under a new coach.
As a Wakefield fan I can genuinely sympathise with the agony of uncertainty and craving to know the facts. Thankfully we've come through some very dark days when all seemed lost. I'm sure you'll come through this and better for it too.
I'll be keeping track of your developments. We all love RL and long may it continue in the heartlands.'"
Hear, hear
On another point it's right you can't simply ask fans for more and more money, as they simply might not have it! Rugby League is our passion but I for one am slightly glad from a financial point of view to have a bit of time off as it was a big expenditure % wise for me this year. Also people want to be saving with Chistmas / New Year coming quickly up!

Ste , re read what you have just posted
' Companies that have put thousands in '
5 years ago you suggested that Arthur would take us to the SL play offs , in this current climate , no business is safe , to expect any business to give more than any individual is wrong , businesses are still just people , they will give what they can , that is all we can ask , I would be very surprised if any business has had a positive ' result ' financially because of their association with Leigh Centurions for years

You are quite correct J 20 , except Arthur Thomas has been matching pound for pound every penny put in by the fans for 3 years , now is the time for those fans to pay their full price , if they decide not to , then Championship 1 will be considered a success , no club at all will be failure , not just not making the play offs
Time to wake up and smell the coffee

| perhaps you need to wake up and smell the coffee in the sense your not going to reach the masses by posting the same thing over and over again on a MB visited by a couple of dozen leigh supporters.

The thing with AT he clearly had a lot of passion for the club but was he the worst kind of money man? Just signing the cheques until he couldn't? What are commercial links like, LSV rent / split (inc commercial) too heavy weighted? Even that 1k each sponsor lottery... be interesting to see how that worked out financially with other clubs sponsors?
Your fans though are paying the same prices as any other? Are we simply saying they all have money men (after us you have the bigger crowds) or are Leigh simply spending too much elsehwere to be viable?
