| Quote Starbug="Starbug"I would disagree jc , last Thursday tells me that , that is why I was so upset , we are going to have to put up with some very depressing results in the near future , last Thursday will be a good result in comparison ,[u hopefully the fans reaction will be more positive than what we witnessed[/u'"
But we know it wont be dont we? because all the new and lapsed fans who've turned up this season thinking we've finally turned the corner will walk away again "saying" they've sucked me in again and they've spit me out again,iv'e done with em.

| Quote Tipster Ste="Tipster Ste"What is confusing and disappointing, I will let you choose........ Is the fact that we have 25 shirt sponsors this year and we haven't contacted them to
A) see if they can contribute in our hour of need
B) thanked those that helped us to get to the end of the season
C) asked them if they are willing to reinvest in 2012
D) finally why have all 25 shirt sponsors who pumped in £25k this season not been invited to the end of season awards night as guests
All the above seem good opportunities to raise much needed funds and to be honest have the scope to pull in much more than asking fans to pay for a game we didn't get to.
I just hope Trevor isn't cutting ties with old contacts??'"
Not sure if you're one of the 25 so apologies...
SInce June, TB and the club have been knocking on doors and ringing up, he also asked local businees and people to contact him with offers, ideas, help and assistance in whatever way possible. The Corporate Club have been going back to their members with the begging bowl too and existing sponsors have also tipped up. Its happened mate, trust me.
Remember the additional money that came from them, well that was as a result, but as some businesses sit in both camps they can only spilt that pound note so many ways.
There is a lot going on with sponsors etc (and I;m sure some have not been contacted for whatever reason)but dont forget there is a skeleton staff now at Leigh and ony so many hours in the day. Thats no excuse when the club is in the position its in but with a thousand other things to resolve its an unfortate fact that some things will fall bewteen two stools.

What exactly are we allowed to raise on here as most things could be directed to the relevant person!!!
I asked as we seem hell bent on asking the paying speccie for every penny whilst companies that have put thousands in go untouched!!'"
Not always the case mate.
Most of the existing sponsors are Leigh fans like the rest of us and have been asked to help and in as many cases as possible have done. Dont forget, many pay up monthly by DD already - like the fans though there is only so many times you can knock on that door.
Make no mistake, TB has been bangng on every door possible. Sure there might be a couple he's missed but given his task over the last few months, its understandable.

Glad you cleared a few points up there mate. I just hope we havent missed anything out. Asking for fans to donate to a game that we didn't get to will only harm the club IMO. How do we expect fans to pay for season tickets when all the talk is we might not see 2012.

Try 48 years , not months , much as I have the greatest respect for Arthur and his investement , he was taking us nowhere'"
Disgraceful comment, only took us from bottom to top in 18 months, appointed a world class coach and increased gates by 25%. Ticked the box, the next 2 years were to consolidate and increase investment.
If we had got a golden ticket in 2014 does anyone think AT WOULDNT HAVE INVESTED MORE IN SL?? it's not hard to get into those SL play offs!!

| Quote leighonardo="leighonardo"Inevitably there will always be a fair degree of poop written on this message board but for some one to say ' Arthur Thomas was just 48 months off leading us into the Super League play offs ' is right up there !! - All IMHO of course.'"
It was a little Tongue in cheek but why couldn't we make it in 2015? Had we got the golden ticket in 2014? We were progressing nicely!

| I'll have to ask the same question again have we got any directors at this present moment? Maybe 1 of the more wealthy 1s would give us a short term loan to help us through this very tough period?

| Just because we haven't heard anything 'official' yet, it doesn't mean that nothing is going on behind the scenes. We can all be assured that TB and the two 'active' directors are exploring EVERY avenue to try and get us out of the immediate predicament.
I still think that, if we can survive this, we have a bright future, with a lot of hard work, and the support that TB is 'enjoying' at the moment.

| Quote Starbug="Starbug"Answer to the 1 st question , yes
Widnes with a fan base of 2,000 , are essentially identical to Leigh , not a criticism , but Steve O Connor would have possibly had second thoughts if those had been the circumstances , quite simply , we have to emulate you'"
Our fan base is more than 2000 mate.Look at the average gates and is considerably higher than Leigh, even though we have not been successful.We would have had another 1000 fans if was top 2 in the league.

I think Starbug was trying to make the comparison =#FF0000IF Widnes had a gate of 2000. We know yours is much higher, and that's why he says we need to emulate you.
Personally I would like us to emulate HKR and get their 80,000 support!
