Quote: Leyther_Matt "Having full, up to date fixture lists for both the first team and reserves should be an absolute given both for the programme and website IMHO.'" You might think that and so might I. Actually, as well as being informative, it's a very easy 'page-filler' in that it only requires minimal updating for results/fixture changes, compared with say, spending two to three hours researching a feature, and an hour or so, writing it. As for websites, I quite like the format of the fixture list on Leigh Life, which also gives links to the match day programme - although I suspect the programme may have made its last appearance on there. (and maybe the club website too?) www.leighlife.com/index.php?page ... xandtables

Out of interest, who is the new editor?

There is a copy of current fixture list in ticket office that can be printed by Andrew Parkinson on request but trying to keep up to date is not so easy, as fixtures can be amended on request from either teams playing but only by agreement from both teams and also RFL, not a moan just the facts.

Possibly one for a member of the BOM to answer. (if any of them post on here )

For the Whitehaven game, I believe it was a former employee of the club, who appears to be back in some capacity at the moment.

Do you fancy giving it a go 'leighonardo'?

Yes, I could attempt to fill the huge void left by the absence of the 'Under the flat cap' page. I can see it now in next weeks issue.

'The Moaner Leyther'....... by leighonardo.

Rivetting stuff

"the interim team had to pick up the reigns and put it together quite a few spelling and grammar mistakes slipped through the net."

I see what you mean.

The results of a survey can be influenced by the way a question is asked and also by the selection of those asked. I doubt anyone wearing a flat cap was approached.

I agree with your assertion, that said No survey to the very best of my knowledge has been carried out . Im purely going off feedback to the club generally via email to myself and other board members and staff, twitter and other forms of social media etc and even on here while there was a groundswell of support for Alan and rightly so I've not read anyone who's come out and said it's not a patch on what it used to be or similar in fact barring grammar and spelling mistakes it's been very well received.

Content was generally viewed across the board as improved and increased, I guess the message we learned as a club is that you need a proof-reader who is well versed in both English and rugby league, we've now got one.

Cheers

Don,

Sorry to hijack your thread about the reserves. At least you haven't needed to 'bump' it to keep it going.

Back on topic - do you have any team news yet, for Saturday's game? And do we know how strong Oldham are this season? In previous seasons, they have had pretty good sides, haven't they?
