I know someone who has got a meeting with the club this week to kick this idea in motion.

Which one ?

If you are confused then I have no chance of keeping up.

do you, and by you i mean the fans of Leigh not have the starting of a trust already? I've read on here about LISA and the Corporate club?

in the days since the announcement was made about the chairman going, the work could ahve started to form this trust, could it not.

i know people have floated the idea and been fobbed off.

there are some cracking ideas but no one, apart from yourself in the past, seems to want to step up to the plate.

Plenty have stepped up pal, we need to see what happens over the next few days as to if we are needed/wanted.

apparently you haven't got time though

Yes the work could have started ,but time is of the essence here , what we are going to attempt is to get 1,000 new people to commit to putting £ 5,000 per month ( and having the business Corporate club match that investement ) for a set period of 18 months to secure the short term future

If once that is done somebody wants to put forward the idea of setting up of a trust , they would be welcome to the contact details of everybody that has signed up , no problem

But right now we have a perfect opportunity to appeal directly to the people most likely to want to put in this money , we have a home match next Sunday to ' sell ' the idea to the fans , and another home game the following week to either confirm it's success or make a further appeal , if we can do this then it I am sure would help to encourage potential new owners/investors to see the clubs fan base react in this way

each? or in total?

Why?

Classic, stay to Red Lion XIII in the conference.
£5,000,000 a month coming from fans - get back onto the VT, they enjoy $hit like this.

i have no idea why i was asking following the post i quoted above. but if you missed it here it is again

Several years ago we went down the route of exploring if a trust would work better then what we have now, LISA, and our fans voted vastly against it,
To me the people wanting the trust, could have still set it up and should have done so, then people can choose, though with Leythers ,I think most would have backed both.

At this point we just need people to commit quickly and my idea of 1000 members to sign up in the next week is acheiveable and could bring in £60000 per year, this with the corporate club commitments will be there or there abouts, with the other income the club have already, for us to secure a short term future for the club, then we can look at what is better in the long run.

Marto, is From Bramley Neil and they have a supporters trust

Well we could try for five grand each , but I don't think we'd get far

Just thinking LISA have a good working relationship with the club don't they?

When you visit the Widnes website you are first greeted by a screen to join the Vikings stronghold. Maybe you could try and do something similar so when ever anybody gies to visit the Leigh site they are initially greeted with a screen suggesting and laying out joining LISA?
