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 |

Don't bring up isolated incidents and lets keep to the issue
' Dont bring up isolated incidents '?
Wasn't it an isolated incident that started all this
Should we have a PPA? To tell the truth, that is purely up to the past players, not the club
How would a PPA benifit the club? ,you tell me
What is clear is that the club cannot allow past players free or virtually free entrance to matches played at the LSV , or provide free or virtually free accomodation or hospitality as they did at Hilton park, it just is no longer viable.

| Quote: mr. chairman "Steve , it's respect Leigh ppa get hosted at a lot of clubs , they themselves would like that to be reciprocated . The ppa in RL is a big thing much bigger than you think . They pay to get in but just want somewhere to socialise together , you must understand that'"
Fully understand it, and when the club controled their stadium, the PPA got pretty much everything they wanted , but things have changed, you and they must understand that
I'll leave it there , nothing to be gained going round in circles, or in refusing to talk |

After reading Starbug's post I'm disillousioned that you wouldn't tell your mates/family that you saw Woody, Donahoue, Street et al at the bar after the game.
Isn't a rugby club supposed to mix the old and the new, to compare and remember. Wouldn't the current players like to chat and reflect.
This is not a problem in other clubs, give them a discount price and entry to the bar.

Think it is time to close this thread quite honestly.

The thing is Mr Chairman who have the PPA fallen out with?.
The current Leigh centurions,the past Leigh centurions or the LSV.
The only thing that seems clear to me, is that the recent local press release had one purpose only, and that was to damage the club just days before the new season kicked off and to me that was completely unexceptable

One question hasn't been touched upon, given a post earlier about recent players showing interest in forming a new PPA... Just how much support from former players does the PPA stance actually have? My suspicion is that it is largely from the elder statesmen rather than recent players.
I've no idea how many members the PPA actually has, and what percentage of past players they represent, can anyone shed any light on this?

Enough, enough! Any more on this thread and we will all disappear up our own Jacksies! Why not write to the Journal in numbers instead of on here? How many ex Players read the Forum, especilally if they've fallen out with the club big time?

Old coals Keith, whats gone has gone, the future not the past is the issue |

The best road in Wig@n is the one that leads to Leigh !!!:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_3181.jpg |

Appalling how the past players ( Leigh Legends ) mentioned have been treated , us Leythers are proud of our history and heritage . Hope that the Lsv / Club can resolve this matter and welcome back the past players and allow them in what ever bar they choose to go in .

As you say they where all payed to play , im not sure about the Rather Well , as you put it , in the 50sand 60s very few Rugby players were payed that well, even the great ones , i spoke to Billy Boston , recently and he told me what he recieved , believe me it wasnt great money .
