Well I think it's great news. One of the very rare positive news releases from the club.

But for me there are a couple of questions:

1. What perks do you get? Maybe the club could expand upon this to get more people interested.
2. They will have a 'say in the running of the club'. This is the most important one for me. The corporate club will be putting in significant fund and need to dictate where the funds are spent. Also what say do they have on th club? Could they influence who will be coach? who we will sign? Will the directors of the club be held accountable to them?

My worry is this - it will still be the same people running the club, and im sure that they will admit themselves that they have made some terrible decisions. I would hate for the corporate club to contribute a lot of money to the club for them to make a massive mistake on the appointment of a coach, paying £30K to a player to play 40 mins of rugby, two unfair dismissal claims etc (or whatever they were), no marketing, no voice from the club, not enough community ties etc.. These are all theings that money has been wasted on in the past and it would be terrible if these business men are also unimpressed in where their investment is spent.

So for me the two questions above need to be ansered asap. Also the five are businessmen. What else can they offer, maybe the club should use this as a publicity drive for people to volunteer services, service at a reduced rate etc. If the five businessmen are as successful as most say, then maybe they need a voice on the board to ensure that the club is run in a more professional way?

I also noticed that Vaughan at Chester has invited the three clubs main supporters that are some form of entity to have a say by the appointment of someone to the board.

maybe now is the time for the current board members to be joined by a voice from the corporate club, LISA, consultant? (youu never know who might offer their time).

I hope Leigh RLFC can now move on to bigger and better things.

How is education supposed to make me feel smarter? Besides, every time I learn something new, it pushes some old stuff out of my brain. Remember when I took that home winemaking course, and I forgot how to drive?:icons077e_files/4864-863FALH-msnicons.jpg

I wasn't having a go at the post though Bartie its just that answeres will not be forthcoming (and perhaps - im unsure on this one myself- rightly so on an un official message board) and MC has obviously taken time to put together some interesting and intelligent (for a change icon_wink.gif ) questions it is a pity he will probably not get a reply on here to some of those which he isnt alone in wanting answers to some.

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

It should be run well away from AR, let them get on with it, I am sure if they want you they will let you know, if youve got £25 a month spare then get 5 family members in LISA and vote for a change of direction.

Sometimes in life you just have to decide that you are going to put money (or effort) into something without there being an obvious tangible benefit to yourself directly, or that the people with whom you entrust your cash won't do the things you would have done.
But, you hand over the money in the hope that good will be done in good faith.

If you are unable to do that - then consider some other way of spending your money that will give you some satisfaction.

And, if you care so much about something - then consider getting involved yourself.

My understanding is that the businessmen involved wanted to put cash into the club....the terms and conditions of that seem irrelvent to me.

I tend to agree with Maurice on this one

In the same way that LISA is a separate entity a business support club would be better run by non club people

As I put on the original thread , in my opinion if an incentive was to be part of the deal it would be better done as a % of the donation

That way if say a pub wanted to join the ' club ' and was willing to put £ 500 in then they could have access to 40 % of that £ 500 [ £ 200 ] in either tickets,merchandise or corporate hospitality at cost

They then can use that as prizes , giveaways or whatever in whatever way they want to

The added value of this would be marketing for the club

My idea anyway , in the next few days I'll contact the relevant people to ask to join and pass on my idea's

Totally agree. Needs to be as transparent as this or else it might all come tumbling down two years down the line after a spot of favouritism is revealed.
