It was said at a Lisa meeting by someone representing the club that winning the Northern rail cup cost the club money.

Agree totally.

I'd have though getting £xxx.xx amount of money from a game you wouldn't have budgeted for playing is better than getting no money whatsoever.
Throw in the chance of flogging some Leigh tshirts / Replica shirts / Caps etc, etc and the hidden benefits such as raising the clubs profile so it attracts fans to support the club and I can't see how you could actually lose on this

I would suggest that comment was either a mistake or a mistruth.

The money from the NRC probably got us to the end of the regular season imo

Silver polish isn't cheap Matt



Its costing us a fortune, what with that and the extra Mr Sheen and dusters for the bigger trophy cabinet

I'm with Matt on this one, and confused



We got a 54 seater coach up for last years final, Plonk loner and me got all tickets bought through the club and the coach through LISA, there was about half who are none regulars, and as one of my regular suggestions is everyone in Cherry and White, it was compulsory on our coach and quite a few bought something from the club.

There may be some truth in that, 'cos the 'glory-hunters' didn't turn up that day....all were predicting that Leigh were gonna get a 'tatering' from the all-conquering HKR. From what I remember, Leigh only sold just over 2k tickets - and from all that was said about how our '06 squad cost more than the SL one, maybe with win bonuses, etc it did end up costing 'em......which, because he didn't deliver the GF as well, cost Benson his job!!
