For the first Championship fixture of the season, we have increased the size of our magazine to 40 pages. The reason for the increase is that Rob Parker has been very busy attracting new advertisers to the magazine, and we refuse to compromise on the editorial content, to accommodate those adverts.
[i In this edition of ‘The Centurion’[/i
There is news of a new incentive for Leigh fans to become regular subscribers to ‘The Centurion’. Remember, you have to be ‘in it to win it’ from this week!
Chairman John Roddy explains the rationale behind close season developments at the club, gives praise where it’s due and gives an insight into what some of our recent Super League guests thought of us! He also announces the re-formation of the Past Players association.
Head coach Paul Rowley reviews the pre-season games in an interview with Dave Parkinson, and explains the loan deal that brought Kurt Haggerty to LSV, with Craig Briscoe and Joe Bullock moving the other way.
Love Rugby League journalist Tony Williams has a message for those who constantly knock our game – even the good news stories!
Trevor Barton has some great news about the Wigan and Leigh College team, in his Community / Foundation page.
Gareth Walker, from League Express, explains why he thinks 2014, rather than 2015, will be the season where every game will count.
Unfortunately there won’t be a Captain’s Log interview this week, due to ‘technical difficulties’, which we hope to have resolved for the Whitehaven game in a fortnight!
Sharon Dillon has the latest Junior Centurions news.
Alan Edge welcomes our visitors to the LSV and has an in-depth look at the new Bulldogs and coach John Kear. He’s even managed to find an image of the Batley coach that dispels the myth that he’s always been ‘follically challenged’!
In his ‘Flat Cap’ feature, he gives good reason why we shouldn’t copy everything from the NRL, explains what happened to one Championship club, who attempted some ‘warm weather’ training, and taps into a Twitter conversation between two SL club chairmen.
Busy chap that he is, he’s also attempted to summarise the new league structure, and TV deal.
We have action photos from the pre-season games, courtesy of ‘RLPix.com’, along with a summary of all those games – for both the first team and under 20’s.
In this issue, we have a two-page centre-fold picture – but don’t get too excited chaps, it’s the team photo!
Last but by no means least, there are the usual features on LISA, the Lottery, the Touchdown club, and the Leigh squad.
I trust you will find that our magazine, priced at £2.50 for 40 pages, is excellent value for money, and a good read!

You get twenty-odd of them in Sunday's centre-fold - it's a squad photo. Of course, if you had something else in mind, we should probably be thinking of page 3?

| Sounds excellent as usual Alan. Would like to hear the feed back from the Dogs fans when they have read it. I think it's one of the things that makes our program stand out, the opposition pages.

Thanks.
My belief is that you have to respect your opponents and their supporters, and it would be an insult not to give them coverage.
(Also, I do it and advertise the fact on their fans forum, in the hope of selling it to them! Although only 87 of them have read the post so far. I hope they bring more than that! )

| Content and visuals are very very impressive, and (by the sounds of Alan's latest post) will sadly become something of a collectors item now..

| Well, this is it - the end of an era. And what a great end it would be to see it sold out - and then all the ones of the new era.
Enjoy!

| It will be a great read as usual Alan, it won't be bettered and when it is gone perhaps others will appreciate how good it is/was.

| As another person that at one time held the editors pen, I know the stresses, strains and at times thankless time spent on producing content. As I have said elsewhere Alan, you have at times worked a miracle in recent seasons. You have my total respect. My thanks to you and I wish you all the best.

Thanks Reffy.
I know that 'people' (whoever you may be referring to) did appreciate it. I've never been confident (arrogant?) enough to think it can't be improved on. Somehow, I think it probably will be!

Thanks Dave. Times have obviously moved on since your day - I replaced the pen with one of those computer thingys! Also, I would like to point out that the basis for the programme I've used, was what you spent so much time and effort setting up, in your time in the hot seat. Total respect to you too.

| By the way, the purpose of my post on here wasn't to elicit loads of praise - nice as it is!
