42910_1337432023.jpg [i:5a56um9q]Serious sport has nothing to do with fair play. It is bound up with hatred, jealousy, boastfulness, disregard of all rules and sadistic pleasure in witnessing violence. In other words, it is war minus the shooting.[/i:5a56um9q]

| Just a last note on tonight's broadcast. As stated earlier, it was the first time this had been tried and was very much a test on the (Leighlife) system. We had a bit of a sweat on (outright panic actually) when the radio went live and the site went down but we now know why this happened and can make provisions for any future broadcasts, and by next season everything will be hunky dory for the live match broadcasts.
I must apologise to those who could hear a bit of whispering at the beginning, apparently the mic on the laptop was accidentally left on for a short while.
Anyway I'm glad those who couldn't make it to the LSV managed to listen to at least some of it and now I've seen it in action, I can't wait till we can do the games next year.
Another first for the Leigh Centurions.

Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity
Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike
SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done
But he with a chuckle replied
That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it!:9005.jpg |

| Quote: The Watcher "The Watcher is stating his opinion, Mr Thomas left the club in a mess, yes AT was pumping in lots of money & we were enjoying the benefits of that on the pitch. However although it was good in the short term, the fact that Thomas made no provision to see the job through to the end (ie a bond placed in a bank so that payments could be met whatever happened, as a large builder would do when building houses) meant that we are now in a mess. With hindsight the other board members could of foreseen a possible situation of cash shortfall if Mr Thomas left for whatever reason & asked Arthur to deposit a fighting fund just in case it all went wrong.'"
While what you post is technically correct , he wasn't happy tipping in , and to suggest he should have made ' contingency ' plans isn't really ' right '
ATEOTD we are where we are , we now have to deal with the world as we see it , without Arthur

Starbug, The Watcher did state with hindsight but surely you should always have a plan B,

| i gained a lot of respect for eith freer and coffey, i wish i had the money to invest, als i am a poor civil servant, but if we all do our bit then OUR club has a future. Whoever that ex director was at the start, well if you have a beef with the current lot i suggest you air it at a different forum, it was not the best start, and as maurice aka neil said in his speech, if people are bothered about he price of beer/food at lsv, don't buy it then, i know i dont, and as he said it does not go to the club. all in all i came away more positive than i went in.

Agreed. I think the current board did really well and were quite honest and frank with what people had to say to them.
As for the former director, he was sat directly in front of me and all he did through the entire meeting was mutter to his freinds and rubbish everything everyone had to say.
Very good, you invested years ago. Congratulations. That was then, this is now, go and blow your trumpet somewhere else.

Irrespective of who is paying Chris's contract, he would still be on match terms at Leigh, and be owed money by Leigh, for the matches he played in September.

| Quote: mac 71 "who was the bore talking about hostpital radio ect? thats hardly going to create any revenue for the club'"
Terribly sorry to have bored you my friend. What was said about hospital radio, was part of a presentation about 'Communications' and how we are trying to communicate with both existing fans and potential ones, to get more people to the club and therefore, more money.
I guess, if they only picked up what you did, I failed on the communications front and would maybe be better advised to spend my considerable time and energy doing something else, for me rather than the club.

| Quote: The Watcher "The Watcher is still trying to work out what Maurice said in the longest none question of the night....can anyone translate it from salesman speak to English ?'"
The Maurice is very sorry The Watcher struggles with basic English, I was baffled why we were wasting time talking about the price of ale in the LSV when we had a club to save. I was also worried about what I heard as a slash the costs and maintain the revenue solution. The gap is tiny and I was expecting a rallying call to remove it - I attempted to remind folk how easy the gap could be removed.

Was it you who stood up and mentioned Sky Maurice?
Told my mrs about it when I got in and she said if Leigh want a SL club, that's a way of doing it.
