Ste, the point I was making was that you go on the offensive against anyone who criticises a club decision (such as charging 20 quid for a friendly). This isn't far off Derek throwing his toys out the pram on Facebook at fans who said that the new home kit is crap

Everyone's entitled to his or her opinion. Just because we support a club doesn't mean that we have to agree with every decision the owner makes.

Derek is passionate about Leigh and saved us from going under. Unfortunately his rants sometimes cross the line and become embarrassing. The same can be said of some fans on here.

FWIW, I agree that Jagger is a tool. Keep biting and he'll keep coming back!

Isn't this forum about different opinions?

Did you login after your sabbatical in the hope of finding everyone in agreement that £20 to face the enemy is too expensive?

It seems to me if you support the club and row against the tide of opinion you get slagged off!

If you want a £10 friendly check out Oldham/Swinton but don't expect them to have internationals, cup winners and possibly a former man of steel running around. I'll carry on paying £20 to see the best Leigh team possible !

No Ste, I logged on hoping some of the obnoxious s would have got bored and left. Unfortunately I was disappointed

Unfortunately you have resorted to being abusive... you do sound familiar.

As i say this forum has people contributing different opinions, if you want the same opinions try North Korea. Have a nice day

Good mornin' Ste.

First, a little insight.

I feel as though I sit somewhere in the middle ground here in that I recognise some failures/shortcomings by the Club & also what they are doing well.
For example, I don't like the new jersey & so I will buy the Help for Heroes jersey & the R.A.F RU 7's jersey instead.

I can also see the massive strides made towards professionalism by the Club, yet some areas are still very much amateurish, such as marketing *especially the apparent lack of proactive promotion of the Club's fixtures & chasing of major sponsorship deals*

On the other hand, very much like yourself, I want the very best for the Club, the best Coach, Players & Directorship.
In order to achieve the goals & dreams of Derek, Paul, the players & our fantastic supporters I also recognise that it takes money, investment not just by DB but also by the fans who hope to see Leigh Centurions competing at the highest level & to do this we, as supporters need to dig deep, both financially & in effort.

I agree with you Ste that £20 (£18 in my favoured North Stand) is not a huge price to pay in order to finance the quality of playing & coaching staff we aim to attract or retain. To put real quality out on the field takes £££ & plenty of it, therefore I will happily pay for me & Mrs Centurions North Stand tickets.

I will also happily be buying a season ticket, even though I don't have a Cat in Hells chance of being at all the home games.

If fans from other clubs didn't come on here with their humour and sarcasm it would die of boredom.

Ste you know always form my own opinions and let folk know what they are,I'm really hoping we sign Rangi for a start ,as I think the publicity and Rangis skill will be a great asset to the Club.I have already said I'm not keen on the new shirt design ,for me a Tribute to the John Woods era would have been better.
As for your Bet with Jagger? 5k was a bit excessive ,I have a 100 quid bet with the bloke which is a lot for me but I stand by it and I hope he will.I have no problem with Banter from other fans ,that's all it is a bit of winding up, I do it and most Fans do it,we should just look forward to what has potentially the promise to be a very very exciting season next year , I for one can't wait.I have been told this morning that Salford are looking at Sarsfield and Armstrong for next season,I don't know how true this is, but maybe it's getting nearer to Rangis signing than we think.

Well I have seen a tweet suggesting 'huge news for Leigh Centurions' which will be in DBs column in the Leigh Observer tomorrow, so who knows Charlie. I must add however I am sure we can all remember promises of 'huge' or 'exciting' news in some previous administrations that were anything but

I haven't been on this forum for yonks - and seriously Tipster - you need to take a chill pill, I'm sure Derek will still like you when you crawl back down from his rear end.

We all know what a superstar Derek is, and we're all grateful to him for saving the club and putting it where it is now but your sycophantic posts are bloody tedious (and quite sickening). It's OK not to like/agree with every single thing the club does you know. I'm sure Derek won't banish you - he's a good guy.

Mish thanks for your wonderful insight... For the record I don't think I have mentioned Derek in 99% of my posts if you care to check back..

I think top of my head the topics have been as follows in recent weeks :-

Mick Jagger
Warrington Friendly
Wigan Friendly..

All different views on the 2nd and 3rd posts... I may have defended the club and given my opinion on those subjects but nor do I mention Derek.. After all there are plenty of great people at the club doing various great jobs..

Some people could say they are a great gang!

Have a nice evening won't you!

Think the meet the players night will be worth attending as I am expecting to hear some very good news.

Just to close a Fax mate of mine told me Mr Jagger fell off a diving board in Guernsey. He will be pleased he did not take Tipster Steve's bet.

Iggy we are all entitled to have our say and have an opinion even though we don't always agree,I love a bit of banter and a wind up,Mr Jagger can be a bit over the top at times but that's how some fans are,I don't think he is a tool as you put it just a fervent Fax fan,let's all have a laugh.
