IF it is Friday night and you all need something to do on the Sunday join in the St Georges day parade in the centre of the town celebrating various local groups. Thats where i will be even if the game is Sunday, more things in the town than just the rugby club and we are a community


oh and WYSIWYG is right if we picked one to win this season it would be the league game.

I can understand if the business operates on individual different customers all the time, but when you have a business that does work for a customer(s) on a regular basis, then I/they expect to be given priority, over some casual.

I am the biggest customer to my transport agent he will not take on any other work, without checking if I think I may need is vehicles first, likewise if I know I’m definitely not going to need them I ring him and he then try’s to find himself other work.

Very occasionally sometimes things go wrong, he’s turned down other work and then I don’t have anything for him and its too late for him to find something, but that’s the risk he takes, I put around 150k worth of business his way he could one day let me down and take on a one off £350 trip down the M6 instead of doing something for me. I could then of course decide to put our business elsewhere.

We operate in exactly the same manner, we will make for anyone, but our major customers are always going to take priority, I guess LSV know we have no where else to go. Tail wagging dog?

Nobody has been given priority over anyone by the looks of things here. LSV/ LC and Swinton have seemingly addressed a situation and made it work for all three parties, LC will play Friday night (what the fuss about that is from our fans I just don't know) Swinton play Sunday and LSV can also hold functions and make money Saturday and Sunday what's the issue am I missing something??

I can understand Featherstone being ed off but what better way to start a weekend than with a barnstorming Challenge cup tie between the two biggest and best club sides outside of SL under floodlights with a pint in hand and no work in the morning???

I saw someone refer to Catalans a few years ago as the best game in recent years, id agree and Fax home and Batley NRC semi were both Thursday night under floodlight and great spectacle also, lets leave Featherstone to moan and whinge, get them over here on a Friday night against there wishes and without the vibrant following they would normally bring on a Sunday which gives them a boost and kick there s back over the hill as we progress in cup with a big chance of a another big night in the Quarters, the couple of hundred lost species on the Friday will be far outweighed by a massive crowd and game in the next round hopefully.

If the gate is down by 100/150 Fev fans who cares we would be splitting the profit with them anyway.

Lets worry about us and sod them.

There is also the issue that if the crowd is poor Fev lose money as well The one thing that is clear is that Leigh don't have the final say by the looks of it so just officially announce Friday and lets have done with it
What would of been interesting is if Leigh had of drawn a S/L club and they wanted it on TV on the Sunday

Whatever the outcome lets hope its a good game we all enjoy it and obviously I hope Fev win but it will be hard at your place to do that with the team you have now

I hope its Friday. I was hoping for a lower champ club as I knew I couldn't get to the game Saturday or Sunday. Gutted when we drew you lot as I would like to go to the game.

So selfishly I want the game Friday

Yes I am concerned, but reading between the lines I would not be surprised if Friday night was the club's preferred date if the LSV had been fully available all weekend long.

Priority is to get the date nailed down as the topic suggests, then we can all debate how appallingly LSV Co services it's top customer ( Valid as it is)

So it's ok for us to travel to Fev countless times on a Thursday night when everyone had work the next morning, yet they aren't able to return the favour and come here on a Friday night? Which in my opinion would generate the best atmosphere if everyone had an open mind to it! Pathetic from the fev lot, as I've been their place numerous times on a Thursday!

Don't get the fuss about us playing at home on a Friday night. Will be a brilliant match, great atmosphere and a good way to start the weekend. Just wish I could make it!

Your supplier is off his rocker if that is 100% correct, unless your £150k is guaranteed to him at £3k per week every week.
I am sure the LSV will give us 24/7/365 if we guaranteed to pay whatever income they generate now via all functions, but somehow I dont think the club are in that position

It is more or less is every week but we cannot guarantee him work (neither me nor him know what I have for him on Monday next week yet), some of the products we make our customers request delivered to their European suppliers, and he can’t do into Europe for the same costs as I can get from elsewhere.

If you think he’s off his rocker, he at least gives me a price, we are told by our customers how much they’re willing pay for our products, when they want them, and eventually where we must deliver them, we have a choice we either agree and supply or they take their business elsewhere. Welcome to the world of the automotive industry.

Do you actually think fev wanted those games on a Thursday night. Im sure they were Thursday due to premier sports. Fev lost out each time.

Im also sure we refused to play on thursday night to help you out financially to get a better share of the gate receipts on the sunday in a playoff game

FF76 - help us out?? We often took 5/600 and your gates were always poor on every shared gate
