| Quote Starbug="Starbug"Ste , re read what you have just posted
' Companies that have put thousands in '
5 years ago you suggested that Arthur would take us to the SL play offs , in this current climate , no business is safe , to expect any business to give more than any individual is wrong , businesses are still just people , they will give what they can , that is all we can ask , I would be very surprised if any business has had a positive ' result ' financially because of their association with Leigh Centurions for years'"
So it's a good idea to ask fans to put another £16 in the til but not to ask 25 loyal companies????
AT was probably 48 months off reaching my aim but the credit crunch bit!! |

1,800 fans or 25 companies ? , IMO the companies pay more than they get back , as I said , I cannot think of one that got a positive financial return on their money ,
Try 48 years , not months , much as I have the greatest respect for Arthur and his investement , he was taking us nowhere |

| Quote J20="J20"The thing with AT he clearly had a lot of passion for the club but was he the worst kind of money man? Just signing the cheques until he couldn't? What are commercial links like, LSV rent / split (inc commercial) too heavy weighted? Even that 1k each sponsor lottery... be interesting to see how that worked out financially with other clubs sponsors?
Your fans though are paying the same prices as any other? Are we simply saying they all have money men (after us you have the bigger crowds) or are Leigh simply spending too much elsehwere to be viable?'"
Answer to the 1 st question , yes
Widnes with a fan base of 2,000 , are essentially identical to Leigh , not a criticism , but Steve O Connor would have possibly had second thoughts if those had been the circumstances , quite simply , we have to emulate you |

It isn't a case of ' messing up ' , it's just thinking that the old ways still work , ie , a winning tam and good coach will result in fans returning , or the ' field of dreams ' approach , build it and they will come , or what will shortly be known as the Salford City Reds approach |

Inevitably there will always be a fair degree of e written on this message board but for some one to say ' Arthur Thomas was just 48 months off leading us into the Super League play offs ' is right up there !! - All IMHO of course.

Hey, is it true that the new parliamentary boundary proposals, put the 'Davyhulme Sewage Works Stadium' within the Leigh constituency?

Its becoming obvious that the people AT trusted and surrounded himself with completely lacked the drive to take the club forward off the field.
imo with two more seasons like this one and our gates would be around the 3000 mark. |

I would disagree jc , last Thursday tells me that , that is why I was so upset , we are going to have to put up with some very depressing results in the near future , last Thursday will be a good result in comparison , hopefully the fans reaction will be more positive than what we witnessed |
