Haven't got a problem with the price but agree with everything else.
Our board need to snap out of sleep walking with business decisions and grasp every opportunity.
A bit of a explanation of what is going on would be expected as its now the year 2013 and 99.99% of people expect (and in most cases demand) up to the second information, it takes circa 1 minute to knock up a press release on twitter / facebook.
Mistakes **must** be learned, our information supply needs improving again.
If that means the board purchase a blackberry for one of the people at the club or a committed volunteer like a Dave P, Andrew ,Alan ,Mish etc, etc to get real time info out on twitter/Facebook/Leigh life / this message board then invest in it.
We also need to wake up and quickly snap out of the 'little Leigh' mentality - not everyone lives 5mins from the LSV, lets now start to act like a professional sports business.
After this 'own goal' its time for it to be put to bed and make sure we now go full tilt at getting as many Leigh fans down to the Wigan stadium but at the same time point out who our next home game is, is it too late to do a double deal offer if purchased at the LSV or on line via our ticket office- Wigan ticket for £16.00 , Batley ticket for £14.00 (£30.00 for two games).
Get as much tat and merchandise on sale as possible, get all our partner business's and town centre pubs and shops sympathetic to our cause to carry a poster or even window dress, buy into the community and get them to buy into us- make it eye catching and effective, Wigan are 'the enemy' to many , use that to our advantage, get fans to get the Leigh car flags out this week, Leigh flags hanging from house windows etc, etc - get the fans to show the colours, the domino effect could be finacially worthwhile longterm.
I'm sure as fans we'll now be no doubt talking to ex /fed up fans that this game is coming up so we can do our bit to get people interested and talking positively about our club.
I expect our club to lead on this and would hope Trevor and his team have had a plan being built since Monday afternoon to maximise every single penny available , this year we have had a mare and at times been a PR disastor off the field, its time now we made up for some losses and started to drive the Leigh Centurions brand to the very public the club is supposed to represent.
