Salford Lad, your comments are fully agreed with, you do have the club at heart.
In reply to Mish, I have total respect for the voluntary work you do with Leigh Life and also the radio for all the games.
As for the PSG, well other than overseeing the club accounts (and if we are not careful,and quick to act, the need to overlook accounts won't be needed) I honestly cannot see what they actually do to help the club progress, apart fron Alan who does a fantastic job with the matchday programme.
Trevor always goes on about PSG, they are just retired people, who talk, but do not seem to carry out any positive actions.
We must not keep relying on these or any other volunteers.
Volunteers will only do so much, and at a slow(retired pace)
We have to put in place a proper marketing strategy to sell our club to the people of Leigh, and also further afield.
This now has become even more important, after what has been said over the past few days.
We as a club must be looking to pay a Marketing Executive, we cannot rely on the LSV to market the club,they have their own marketing to do, and that obviously comes first for them.
Bite the bullet, speculate to accumalate, all businessess have to do this, it is a gamble, but one I feel we must take. Move forward with confidence to help rectify the wrong doings of the last few days.
Before anyone bites my head off, I realise we have a General Manager in place, but he is being asked to sell the club on his own, a job he is not yet fully familiar with. Given time I am sure Rob Parker will excel in the role, but at the moment he needs help in the post.

With respect Glow the last line of your post is silly and I am sure deep down you know it. Tell you what when I get home after our game on Friday I will post our team on here just for you.

Agreed what about Monday’s



All I’m trying to say is we could end up with different players each week in our starting line up, and I don’t think that will do us or even them much good.

Emmitt and the like seemed to enjoy their time with us, we wont build a relationship if we are chopping and changing every week, if this isn’t going to be the case then why not just take 4 on loan?

Glow, it may have seemed like they were be the same 3/4 DR's. In 2011 we used 5, but last season we actually used [size=1509[/size D/R's in our first team. That surprised me, when I checked back! I bet we don't use that many this season, let alone the 21 others are forecasting.

How many games each did they each play?

The likes of Shaw and Russell who only played a couple of times, didn't last long for whatever reason and IIRC didn't perform too well either.

I think it's just the worry that although the club say they won't do this, this and this but when it comes to important games or game where injuries have taken their toll will they stick by what they've said?

Realistically there should be no need for any more than 4 Wigan players for Leigh to use this season. And by 4 I mean the same 4 over and over. For example Leigh's 23 man sqaud + U20s + Wigan's Spencer, Lloyd, Manfredi and Greenwood/Burke.*

That is how it should be run and no one would have an issue it I shouldn't think.

*Or anyone other 3 U23 Wigan players.

Think it was something like: Brierley 27; Spencer 18; Laithwaite 13; Nash 7; Shaw 3, Leuluai, Mendeika, Russell 2, and Burke 1 - give or take 1, or 2.

I think what you suggest is fine in principle. The more you use the more you could damage team spirit. However, to restrict it to 4 named players may prove unworkable, if they get injured, or become first team regulars - Burke, for example, seems to be getting a good bit of first team action, at the moment.

However, I reckon Paul would aim to see it restricted too.
