I have to say this folks that if you love or claim to love a club or sport as much as you say you do and you have faith in and are friends of those who have chosen to take the reins of the club or sport, then I find it hard to take that a person who had pledged their support to their club or sport can just walk way over this appointment. I hope this is wrong because I too remember Brian, a lovelier bloke you could'nt wish to meet and that for the good of this club a happy outcome can be achieved. Also I really do hope that people don't come on here and start with nasty stories and hearsay, further fueling any differences. Having met both these fellas I can only say good things about them and if there are good in them both then there is grounds for a working realtionship. Andy I personally call on this BOM to work tirelessly to get these two working together - if this story is correct - for the good of our great club.

Thanks Keith, Understood.

I was responding to the question someone raised is this a East/Miners thing, you have put that one to bed nicely.

Andy

Thanks Keith.

Your support is really appreciated and I think you know that all decisions we make cant please everyone all of the time but are all made with the best intentions and in what we feel are in the best interests of the club.

Andy

Well guys this appointment has been the most talked about for some time
You have Andy in bed with Keith and John in bed with Trevor
Andy you say the 2 girls will be back on board was ant it Trevor that got rid off them
You say John roddy new nothing about a disagreement concerning Trevor and Brian well Brian made it very clear to many off our supporters and people off Leigh what he thought about Trevor
Trevor is like marmite you either love him or hate him
And has been mentioned on the board their are some members off this new board who change their opinions very quickly won't mention any names but they all no who we mean
Lets se how this appointment works out Trevor is a born leader his favorite roll is chairman as was the post of ceo

so I'm in bed with Keith that's a good one ha ha

Good old north stand hiding behind a username no sign of you when all the positive news is going on first hint of negativity and your all over it.

Trevor knows the roll he's brought in to do and is happy with that and won't be leading anything.

Never let the facts get in the way of a good story eh?

This appointment would always split opinion, I'm sure the BOM would have known that beforehand so I presume they calculated the 'negative' problems that could occur would be outweighed by the 'positives' Mr Barton may bring to the club.

Andy just so you know have seen more boards come and go at Leigh than I care to remember so have reason to be a bit carefully before I give out any accolades
Andy ? For you how well do u play the trumpet

As I said Andy, you will be judged on what you do, not who you are , what you have done before or what you say you will do, that applies to all of you as well as Trevor

Neil

Not sure I understand you question?

Andy

As has been stated before trevor b is like marmite you either love him or........I personally have no axe to grind but would like to say that for the first time for a while I trust this BOM and if they want trevor on board I will (for what its worth)support it.Lets get behind this BOM and team and be the best we can and most of all beLEIGHve

I neither love or hate him!

He's willing to part with his hard earn so thats good enough for me !

Im sure folk having a go at Trevor wont upset him , its all part and Parcel of being a Figurehead at the Club , as is posting on this Forum , Trevor had to much value for the Club to lose him , I for one am glad to see him back on Board , I don't know Brian Bowman personally , but to sever all Club connections seems a bit over the Top to me .

Just because you don't like or disagree with someone doesn't stop you supporting the Club , Charlie had NO time for Darren Abram , it was Personal but it didn't stop me supporting the Club , for me Trevor will fit in well with the other BOMs , as they all seem Doers , not Talkers , again welcome back Trevor .

Trevor Barton stepped up when our club was most in need.
He put in many, many hours of his life, under constant stress and pressure, without being paid. He did this for an extended period of time, and only stepped down when the new BOM came along to take up the fight.
Now he is stepping forward again, cash in hand, to help again.
The new BOM have voted unanimously to accept him onto the Board.
For what it's worth, I support this move and Trevor Barton.
Thankyou Trevor for what you did, and for what you are again stepping up to do.
