| Stay away from Westhoughton, thats my town and barring the odd crazy Wigan fan, its a Viking town.
Why dont you try get support from Walkden and leave Westhoughton to me?
Its a decent offer, I wouldnt want to have to fight you for the place

| John Duffy has been to St James Primary School for the last couple of weeks, my daughter has loved every minute of it. She came home this week with a 'draw Robbie Paul' compition.
Keep up the good work, i hope that every kid in the school gets to takes home a season ticket leaflet.

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 |

What sort of help ?
Help with playing RL ?

No , the community dept at Leigh [ along with probably every other pro sports community dept ] focus's on two things
1 providing kids with a healthy activity [ quite often tied into their school work via numeracy and literacy ] that schools quite often no longer supply
2 attracting kids to the actual pro club providing the activity
Much of this work is grant funded [ which is why it has to be done primarily through schools and usually includes the said work on actual school work ' ie numeracy and literacy ' ] , that would probably preclude it from actually setting up and running individual amatuer club teams

| I work with John regularly with regularly at my School, he is awesome with the kids and the game in the Bolton is taking off slowly. Wigan don't seem to be going any further than Daisy Hill/Westhoughton with their community work so Leigh are trying to take advantage. The signs are very encouraging and hopefully these will pay dividends further down the line.

You seem to have some kind of issue with the community department? We all know in the perfect world with unlimited resources, they could do much more, but mean while lets applaud them for the good things they are doing.
As you probably know only Leigh East have teams at all age groups, so all clubs need help.
In the past when the community department ran a school's programme at the end they have previously 'just' given out info to the kids of local clubs for them or their parents to follow up themselves, they are now for the first time working with the clubs and running hand over sessions, where they continue working with the kids outside of school at the clubs for a few weeks, hopefully helping the kids make the transition from school to club RL. Some of the clubs are also helping with the in school sessions, which also helps.
Will it work? I don't know but what i do know is the Award Winning Community Department are at least trying.
I'll try and confirm it at our next meeting but if I remember right Golborne and Atherton are the first of the clubs being targeted.

| Martin I have no problem what so ever with the community department I am merely asking a couple of pertinent questions.
I know Golborne are struggling and as they are a club in the Leigh District surely it is worth utilising the facilities down there and to see if all parties can identify why there are few kids playing in that area ,an area smack bang inbetween two major superleague clubs and of course Leigh Centurians.
I would have thought that would have been a worthwile project within its capacity and roles.

Do you mean Westhoughton High? If so, tid true.
Feka was in there last year - hilarious photo of him (man-mountain) with the Headteacher (midget!).
However Duffy has been there this year, which may not have gone down too well with the woman from there who works with him, who is a massive Wigan fan?!

take a read Steve
www.leighcenturions.com/page.php?id=375
Now working with the community getting kids off the streets and involving them in social projects now that is clearly within their remit.
And I believe they have asked for help but the support was patchy to say the least.
I dont want to turn this into a my dads bigger than you thread Steve but there is a clear need for some partnership involvement down Intex way

None of which involves amateur clubs , read it again , as I said if they have asked for help , then possibly ( not definatley ) there might be some , but I'd guess not
If there is some need for ' partnership ' , then offer it , or is that not what you do ?
