I think he'd been drinking turps Ste!

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.

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.

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.

Nervous.....thought you was gona start crying

It was Johnny, as a response to someone going on about Sky funding reducing £10k - so if 1000 families in Leyth stopped it and stated that it was because of the treatment of non SL RL, even better if every other club did the same, then in Leyth alone subs drop £600k pa. If 200 fans donated that saving back to the club then we are in a very healthy position - as I am sick of saying the deficit is peanuts lets get the initiatives rolling and lets take our club forward.

In todays climate companies are fighting for our £'s so lets maximise those opportunities by uniting the fans behind the objectives eg 1200 families spending £5k pa at a supermarket = £6m pa = £2m GP = difference between doing well or not, as fixed cost reductions would be limited.

Didn't think the RFL gave us any money, so how can they advance it
And if that is coming out of next years budget, that appears to be a massive chunk of the overall budget, along with the tax stuff and all.

RFL funding was £100k in 2011, and £90k in 2012.

When is the club sending out an online form to fill in for touchdown club? I'll send it to everyone in my contacts, could do with a well written plea on it too.

If we all send it to everyone and get one or two people each it could make all the difference.

Will be on the website today it says earlier in the thread I think

Cheers.

I thought the meeting went really well, spoiled only by John Abbey. Obviously he has legitimate concerns about the past and his role in it, but the fans forum was the wrong time and place to air his disgruntlement and he started the evening off on a very sour note. Why did he feel the need to ask his questions then anyway? That's all old news and if he was that concerned (rather than just trying to cause trouble) he could have talked about it privately at any other time.

I agree I was horrified, as the people he was having a go at, have only ever put money in and never took[size 1[/size penny out. They have worked hard trying to keep the club going.

Whereas it made sense to be discussing those sorts of things as a means of improving the matchday experience for the mutual benefit of LRL and LSVCo. The majority of the short term debt will be covered with the advance of the (reduced) RFL cash, so the longer term cash flow becomes more of a focus to ensure we aren't in the same problem last year. What were you expecting, Live Aid?
