If I was in the frame for the commercial managers job, I'd be on here poaching ideas!!

'Look Mr.Thomas/Mr.Rowley, I've only been here a week and I've got a hundred ideas on how to get more fans in! Aren't I clever!'

Digressing slightly... IMO, the key to that role is an open dialogue with the fans. That could be as simple as a suggestion box in the club shop, and a 'weekly news' update on the website

Joking aside, the new employee, whomever it may be, could do no worse than to get on here to get a feel as to where the fans think the club are doing well/going wrong.

Getting news out of LC is like trying to platt tripe, when they are reminded it comes out thick and fast if no reminding no news TBH ive given up, what they need is a media/press officer as a paid post if even its only part time it needs someone bending their ear every other day.

I agree 100%.

And in these cash strapped times who's paying for this?

well talking of new stadiums, my experience on the keepmoat today was very good, parked right in front of the stadium as i have a blue badge, the steward was very polite and showed us where to park, and we went into the bar a the front of the stadium, and i was amazed, i did not have to hand over any money to get in, i do not apologies for the sarcasm, i have been before and knew you didn;t have to pay, but you get my point, there was plenty of us leythers in having a drink and a civilised chat prior to the game, i wonder if toone and the rest of the lsv have taken any notice from other new grounds and how to opoerate.

Would have to be the same guy who pays for everyone else, Id prefer a media/press/PR person to a new player as the backroom staff is very very light and is something that was highlighted in the licence bid, unless of course YOU are volunteering your time FREE?

Think I'll keep my head well below the parapet!!

If we are smart dont we get that finance from the RFL??
ie Full time Quality Chief Exec and a Quality Full time Marketing Manager

me n all Alan, lots of strings attached to the RFL money and there has someone started (today I think) in the 'marketing' position, but again there are strings atached by the rfl

Bit like ' Thunderbirds ' then

We'll be seeing a big rocket shooting out of the centre of the stadium next , No wonder they are trying to keep people out of it , It's all secret you know

That's why the ' Hood ' is on SKY

Fireball XL5 was always a favourite of mine that Lazoon cracked me up

Sorry but mortgage to pay, uni fees to look forward to, taxes to pay, pension to worry about etc...maybe in another 20 years when I'm retired and living in Leigh!

any excuse

beat wakefield on friday, then get us in the next round, that'll get you a decent atmousphere!

we're palying pretty poorly at the mo, so you might think you've got a chance
