I have two primary roles at the club one is overseeing the community aspects of the structure, the other is being communications leader of a great communications team which we are hoping to develop into the finest in the game.

As part of the communications team I will use any means I feel necessary to communicate and interact with our fan base, I've had nothing but positive feedback both from fellow BOD members and all the fans I have so far met and received messages from so please forgive me if I chose to overlook your very kind advice.

From reading and partaking in this MB I've been able to feed many of the ideas and points that are raised (good and bad) into the works we are doing to improve all aspects of the club and though its early days the majority seem pleased with progress so far.

Cheers

You mean the majority on this MB, which is 30 agreeable people at the most, all who love the Wiggin twinning agreement, not the 1300 who turn out at the games OR the few thousand who have stopped attending games. By continuing to post on this MB you are setting yourself up for the biggest of falls if things go wrong. As a professional chairperson you should stick to the conventional communication channels NOT this MB which his meant for fans of both Leigh and the opposition, Wiggin fans included.

This MB should be used not just for positive feedback BUT also for negative feedback whether you like it or not because it is the MB of the people NOT of the management.'"

WYSIWYG - Put a sock in it "mate".

Most fans don't even know what the people who run their clubs look like, don't know their names and never get the chance to speak to them ever,

The fact that he communicates with us on here is a privilage and i'm sure he would'nt do it if he didn't want to hear what the fans have to say and hear their ideas and issues.

I think it takes some guts to do it and reassures me that he has the clubs best interest at heart.

Sums up the Canadian Leythers opinion. This has gone beyond constructive criticism.
I have found the posts by the people now involved in the club nothing but informative and professional. So many threads on here in the past have suffered from a lack of information or correctly informed comment, and have spun out of control because of that, sometimes leading to damaging rumours evolving.

First off, I'm not Andy - my name on the post is a clue there.

Secondly, why should I not post on here, please? Have I been banned? I post MY opinions and FACTS, which hopefully COMMUNICATE messages to supporters, (and non-supporters, of course.)

I will repeat, the idea is to COMMUNICATE, using whatever channel available,to try and get supporters and sponsors down to the club. Personally, I don't think that's a bad aim. For instance, when I've done the programme, I give a taster of what's in it, on this message board, and our opponents' message board - the idea being, to ADVERTISE the programme to potential buyers.

Should I not be doing that? Should we in fact be producing a programme? It's contents are open to ridicule.
Should we be communicating with the press? To do so, leaves us open to ridicule.
Should we have Fans' Forums? They leave the presenters open to ridicule.
Should we have LCTV? It runs the risk of the players/commentary team being open to ridicule.
Should we broadcast games? That leaves us open to ridicule.
Should we be boosting the club on Twitter and Facebook? That surely leaves us open to ridicule?

I accept, and have posted on here, (exposing myself to ridicule) that you are perfectly entitled to express your opinion. Strangely enough, I believe that I also am entitled to my opinion, and should be allowed to post facts on here, to help folks get an understanding of what goes on at the club.

Oh, and by the way, I don't know whether your final sentence was aimed at 'Andy' or me, but if it was me, I would be insulted by it and would humbly suggest that it infringes the rules of this forum. However 'ridiculed' I feel, I would not lower myself to issuing petty insults - that really would expose me to ridicule, not to mention being banned!

Is there an ignore button because this is getting stupid from this guy and spoiling discussion not adding to it

One of the worst tools that dysfunctional people have in their locker is the art of trying to belittle others.

Its a fact that people who cant stop putting other people down have very low self esteem and usually suffer from insecurity.

Just pushed it.

Where is it?

Its a special one on my keyboard

I press it and it just passes by bitter and twisted fools pathetic posts

Found it in the controls, find the friends and foes select foes and put the user name in you want to ignore/not see posts

It's brilliant every post of his has gone
