Looks like its Friday night

Quote: SRW1996 "Alan

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

Andy,

No problem with you posting on here. Especially in this instance, as you are simply quoting facts and explaining why we will not be able to play on Sunday. All I'm saying is that, whatever you post, you won't be able to satisfy everybody.

The Friday/Sunday debate has always proved to be a lively one. I always prefer Sunday, well daylight, at any rate, but will still be there, whatever day we play. That doesn't mean I have to like it though.

I hear what you say about the other avenues that are open to publicise the club, but I would appeal to you to continue to use this one, particularly when you have facts to contribute to a debate/issue. I guess you just have to be thick skinned enough to take the (few) criticisms along with the (many) plaudits that have been flying about.

Keep up the good work.

Alan.
