Swinton Lions after match party - up to six attending

They probably assumed one or both of us would have been knocked out, or at least drawn away

Yes and weve all seen your reply son shine

Im glad its a Friday i couldnt attend any other day, any one who thinks playing Friday will give Leigh an advantage is an idiot. Wont make any difference it will however cut the crowd number in half. Financial suicide, you must really be loaded

I can attend whatever day we play!
Can't see how the RFL could stop us playing Friday night if we prove to them about the function on Sunday to be honest and as theres apprently a function Saturday too ,seems Friday nights our only option.
Can't believe a stadium built for sport would hold an event on a Sunday whilst there's a chance one of its partners the key word here is partner , could be playing .
Also they have two teams that In fact could be at home and lets face we usually do make this stage .
However our players have asked or Friday so they get a weekend off as they dont get any this season due to no Thursday games, so I can in a way understand why as its an opportunity for them to spend a weekend with their families etc .
Just hope it worth it and we get a place in the quarter finals .

So that makes it OK then, the players want it! Lets ignore the fact that it will lose a few grand on the gate, surprised we haven't had an announcement.

No problem what so ever with CONSTRUCTIVE criticism but neither LSV nor Leigh Centurions is doing anything wrong here are they?

While we have a great relationship with LSV we are tenants albeit with a stake and the stadium is run by a Ltd company like any other with a management team and set of directors with the immediate aim of making enough money to cover costs and overhead and in time make a profit. We are the single biggest tenant at LSV which we use as our base and home and get priority over 99% of things so I honestly don't see the issue here.

Ideally commercially we would want the Sunday and while the players would prefer Friday if the stadium was available all three days we would decide as a board which day we play to suit the club as whole and it's fans and ideally to best accommodate the away team, however in this isolated incident we are not afforded that luxury, no real drama let's be honest though we share Featherstone's pain of having to get across on a weekday night as we've done it ourselves.

If the game can only be played on a Friday then end of story move on and either come or don't but to state people should be sacked or such like or to make a big drama out of it is ridiculous quite frankly as people who run LSV report to Directors who in turn have a responsibility to generate revenue and operate the business, would I run my business's and think I won't book any work in next month on the off chance something may or may not happen??? No business doesn't work like that.

If it means we have to play a cup game on a Friday night then as a partner we accept that and while we sympathise with Fev it's not our problem and we just have to get on with it and prepare for the game.

It's not the criticism that concerns me it's the fact we are doing so well as business, club and team on and off the pitch and it's clear there are some people we will never please whatever we do and are just sat waiting to pounce if/ when god forbid we do lose a game or two or they actually have something to moan about.

Better off leaving people to it and taking the advice of people who have said all along stay off that message board I think.

We have a website and TV channel and social media accounts in the clubs name so going forward these will be the official source of news from the club I'm sure I can find something to do with the time I once spent on here

Roll on Sunday, we all share a common goal and that is to follow the boys and follow the club we love let's make some noise at the Shay!!!!
