Having once again listened to our customer feedback our commercial team have extended the cutoff date for the purchase of the "Signature Strip" to 05th October 2013.



Centurions Business Manager Rob Parker commented:



"Just to remind anyone who may not already be aware this fantastic new initiative allows our fans the opportunity for their name to be included in the design of all 2014 "Home" playing shirts and "Adult" replicas. For the first time, Leigh Centurions fans really can be part of the team for a nominal £25 fee".



"Having taken many calls and being stopped constantly in and around town by fans clearly intrigued by the deal I consulted our kit manufacturer and they agreed to the time extension. The Board were in full support of giving our loyal fans every possible chance to secure a place on the shirt"



"Further to this I can also exclusively reveal that we intend to give an exclusive preview of next seasons shirt "design" at the player awards evening next Thursday night so if you haven't yet secured a ticket please do so as soon as you can as they are selling quickly"



Fans are reminded the 2013 Player of the Year Awards Evening will be held in the Banqueting Suite at Our Home Leigh Sports Village (3rd October 7.00pm), the tickets will cost just £20.00 per person

How many fans have joined this fantastic idea.....

So it's the home strip only then.

Which is not what I was told when I paid £75 for three names

Obviously not enough since the deadline keeps moving.

I'm sure one of the BOM mentioned in a previous thread that he'd been told that it was both

I read that as home playing strip and home and away adult replicas as the kids kits would be too small

May have done but the final designs did not lend themselves to being able to accomadate the signature panel on the away shirt unfortunately.

I did sit in a couple of meetings so I'm aware how hard we tried with Oneils to make it available on both kits however it simply didn't look right and a final desision was made to go with the home shirt only.

Sorry if there has been any confusion.

Regards

Andy

Really productive comment, well done

Andy, if any fans feel they have been mis- sold and wish to withdraw can they now do so?

Not Sure how anyone has been mis-sold Neil to be honest?

Sorry, I forgot to ask permission.

Leigh Retail tweeted 'Home Shirt' on 13th September, the away shirt has only been mentioned in forum conversations.

You forget that anything on here is gospel according to the pet goldfish of their grandads brothers cousin thrice removed

Hi Andy, See Neil Wilcox post advertising the offer, I am fine with mine but if others feel differently then this takes the heat away

I refer to the club website for official news about the club Neil.

Hi Andy, see below the official release from the website

''Leigh Centurions would like to remind supporters that they have up until the 27th September to sign up the the club's "Signature Strip" campaign!

Launched two weeks ago to a great reception, this latest venture gives fans the opportunity for their name to be included in the design of =#FF0000[size=150all 2014 playing shirts and adult replicas[/size. For the first time, Leigh Centurions fans really can be part of the team for a nominal £25 fee! It doesn't have to be your name, it could be the name of a friend or relative. As an added bonus, one lucky name will be selected at random, and the purchaser will receive a FREE 2014 Season Ticket!

Leigh Centurions Chairman John Roddy commented;

"We have been delighted with take up on this offer and we'd like to thank everyone who has signed up so far. We've have heard some lovely stories why certain names will be included within our new kit for next year, I am very sure that our 2014 team, will play with even more energy and determination. Our supporters are critical to the future success of Leigh Centurions, and I hope many more will sign up to the Signature Strip campaign before the September 27th deadline"

This is an opportunity to be a part of something very special, so please register your interest at the Market stall or the ticket office.''

Neil WILCOCK, they even spell it wrong at work

So its official then.

I must admit I also thought I was signing up to both shirts for my family, If not then the below post from Neil (which is where I first heard of it) was a little misleading I have to say. Not one reference was made to home shirt.



That said, I still think it's a wonderful offer but It's disappointing that the directors appear to now be changing the terms of it leaving supporters with a feeling of being somewhat short changed on what was promised to them.

Ah well...

And what is occasionally posted on here by some directors one would now assume?

Sometimes things change from conception to end product, communication is then the key and Andy has already stated the design change impacted here.

Cheeky bugger, I also remember presenting Derek with a 'member of the month award' years ago

Looks like its slightly misleading I agree having now read the original statement.

I would apologise on behalf of the club if anyone feels that they have been mis-sold this deal.

As I stated we did attempt to put the signatures on both home and away but design implications made it impossible.

Andy

Bloody heck I had forgotten about that.

Then we need to be more savvy with these initiatives and ensure they are fully thought out and set in stone before weexecute them.

I know Neil loves his 'Brentisms' He always gives me a chuckle when He posts them on here but He must also remember them when sat in the Board room.

FAIL TO PREPARE THEN PREPARE TO FAIL !!

Just to clarify, despite a few light hearted comments from myself.

It's still a great deal and I urge everyone to take up this offer. £25 is nothing to have your name on the home shirt. A great keep sake as well.

Well done to the people driving this deal.
