22/03/2013 Get LEIGH outta wigan:



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?

kcab sfrawdder 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



Quote: mr. chairman "have attended many dinners that the ppa as organised , they are a sell out every time . the question of who have they fell out with , leigh centurions signed a lease agreement with the lsv , this is were the centurions gave up the rights to access certain areas . centurions did have the chance to sort this out before the license was agreed , why do you think leigh east didnt sign the lease , all centurions had to do was state that they had control over certain areas and what was displayed in those areas . the lsv is nothing without the centurions , leigh east , leigh harriers and the college , all local organisations that leigh sports village company or wigan council have upset at one time or other because they went back on certain promises that were written in legal documents , which i still have by the way . centurions need more control over how they run GAME DAY . maybe trevor can sort this out and all will turn out for the best . for me the argument lies with the lsv but centurions gave up that when they signed the license. thank god leigh east didn,t'"


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 .

Shame the report doesnt tell the whole truth isnt it? 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 .

Quote: jesus-is-coming "Surprised at some of the comments on here calling the past players free loaders

I know Alex Murphy is not best pleased with the current set up and was amazed he could not collect a few freebies from the club for the wigan game the other week and was told he would have to see trevor I shall not repeat his words but think back to the tv appearance when he was in the wigan changing room h025.gif

Alex says he's very sad that the situation has come to this but he's had no dealings with the PPA for a long time and has only heard what we've all heard (through the press). He just hopes that matters can be settled and the PPA will at least agree to sit around the table with the board to sort it out.

All easily resolved, charge them 50 quid for a season and give them passes to the room in the back of the west

I'm not sure they'd go for that Ste, the fact that the club wanted to charge them £40 a season to go in the big room is what kicked up all the fuss in the first place.

I'm baffled.
PPA who allegedley love the club and want to support it through its current difficulties don't want to pay admission, discounted admission with perks thrown in that is.
IMO we are better without that sort of PPA, start a new one - West seats, access to Bar with food thrown in £100 a season. We all worship these lads for their efforts in the shirt, its fantastic for them to feel special and part of the clubs future - but the clubs genorisity has been abused in the past at HP, so at LSV lets do it right as a partnership
