I think tipster ste was asking a question not giving grief.

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

Col

What exactly are we allowed to raise on here as most things could be directed to the relevant person!!!

I asked as we seem hell bent on asking the paying speccie for every penny whilst companies that have put thousands in go untouched!!

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

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?

Good point , well made

As usual John

Yes I did John , sometimes the most obvious things that are right in front of you , you cannot see

So it's a good idea to ask fans to put another £16 in the til but not to ask 25 loyal companies????

AT was probably 48 months off reaching my aim but the credit crunch bit!!

Yeah but if everyone brought a friend on here....
