| Quote: mish "Without Andy Mazey none of this would have happened. He was the first of the BOM to stick his hand up to help save the club and for that I, along with most other Leythers will always be grateful. Keith is right in saying that a lot of people trust him; I got to know Andy and his dad very well in the early days of the new set up and loved working with them straight away; their honesty and passion was clear to see and I knew that with them on board, our club would be in safe hands.
I'm gutted to see him leave but wish him well in whatever he chooses to do next. Good luck for the future Andy. You're a star.'"
Spot on Mish. He was the guy who got all this started, and who appears to have done most to gain our club respect and credibility, especially in the town of Leigh. I fervently hope that this newly gained respect is not to be tarnished now, and that someone has the time and considerable skill to maintain the momentum in the community.
Thanks for everything Andy - you will be missed.

| Andy Mazey has a lot of respect from the Centurions supporters
top fella who always has time for the fans both at first team and reserve team games more than any other BOD member in my opinion he,s up there with the very best that's been involved with Leigh RLFC past or present

| I did not know andy in a personal capacity. However what i have seen in the past 18 months, lends me to the opinion he is a class act, top bloke. Derek and the rest i sincerely hope you carry on running the club in the positive way it has been recently. Andy mazey top bloke.

| Given the speed with which they removed his name from the programme, I'm very surprised that no official announcement thanking Andy for his time, money and effort has been forthcoming from the club.

Derek is a fan (like Andy is and the other BOM are - and they are still here all doing a great job lets not forget!) the way he was handing the Championship shield around to other fans to share in the clubs success leads me to think this guy is the real deal and has the clubs and fans interest totally at heart so I doubt he'd think its just 'his club.

Somebody obviously enjoyed 'informing the printers' to do so at such 'short notice' .....wonder who that was ? I'm going for Shandy Bass !!! ![Very Happy icon_biggrin.gif](images/smilies//icon_biggrin.gif)
When I worked at Collins & Darwell, the Centurions & Bury FC one's were printed by Wednesday, then collated/binded on the Thursday....delivered on Friday.

| Quote: SRW1996 "I've posted on here from day one so wont lie to anyone and will put the rumours to bed Keith so not to detract in any way from the important matter of a Grand Final next weekend.
I can confirm I met the Chairman for lunch last week and stood down with immediate effect from the board of management at Leigh Centurions.
It was agreed that it would be announced after the Grand Final but has subsequently become common knowledge and as has been highlighted on here my name was removed from yesterdays match programme so its hardly a secret I suppose now.
I have not lost my passion for the club I have supported all my life and I am proud to call this town and community my town and my home and I have been fortunate to learn a great deal this last 16 months or so which will hopefully stand me in good stead in the future with sports management may that be with Leigh Centurions or elsewhere. I have had enquiries to my availability and indeed requests for help but will not be rushing into anything and will be focussing on my family life and businesses for the time being as well as supporting the club I love and putting funds and resources into the community in many ways.
There is no big drama or nothing to worry about I leave with a heavy heart but for my own personal reasons which I do not wish to elaborate on at this time. I would like to wish Derek and the guys well and urge you to get behind them as the next 12/24 months will be critical as we push for a SL place. I leave on good terms with Derek and the other guys and wish them all the very best and really hope the SL dream can become reality.
I'm sure my time will come again but right now I will focus on being a fan and supporting the club I love for the time being, thanks for all your support and keep on supporting this great club as I know you all will do.
Best Wishes
Andy Mazey
PS Leyther till I die!!!!!'"
All the best Andy and thanks for all your work

| Very disappointed that Andy has gone but nowhere near how grateful I am for what he's done. Remember when the club was at its darkest; then Andy started posting on here, offering hope that the club could be saved. Who would have thought then that now we'd be in the Championship Grand final after finishing top of the league winning all but 1 game, running Challenge Cup winners Leeds very close in the 1/4 final and have a squad of fantastic players signed up to go full time ready to take on the Super League to win promotion next year. Thank you and congratulations for what you've achieved Andy, hope you're back involved soon.

| As an outsider looking in I would say that the wrong person has gone. Andy should get himself over to Fax, Im sure they could learn a lot from him and his experience.

| Whilst some liked to meet and greet, the black and white facts are it was others who worked quietly behind the scenes to save the club and put it along the straight and narrow, long before the fans favorites arrived.
Those same people have delivered a team that go to the grand final on Sunday with just one league defeat all season.
There will be no noticeable change in the running of the club from last week last month or last year. Wages still got paid today, we met the RFL at Leeds today about Sunday, contractual negotiations continue with players, the full time environment is getting the final touches put to it....all the non sexy stuff that stops us going to the legends bar on a match day because these same people are actually working on matchday.
Those same people are still here, they just don't usually feel the need to post about it.
We most certainly are all in it together, nothing changes.

| Unfortunately when it comes to the workload and the investment Mish, you are 100% right but we can fully understand why people won't see that, nor should they need to because theres nothing sexy or even remotely interesting about what we do hence why we don't feel the need to tell everyone, just like when the community club partnership scheme was wtitten in may 2011, nobody felt the need to tell the world about what we might or might not implement.
Trust me mish, nothing changes...the strategic review we first did in 2012 then again in 2013 remains on target and the people who did it are still running the club.
If ever you want a coffee and findit out factually in black and white, you're more than welcome.
cheers.
