Hi, 
Recently a few of us supporters were approached by Trevor Barton to form a focus group for the north stand, basically a group of supporters who can give feed back from various initiatives the club put into place, aswell as putting forward ideas and any questions that we want to ask. From the first initial meeting Trevor seemed very receptive to our ideas and acted upon them, and indeed a number of ideas are currently past the planning stage.

If you have any ideas, questions and also complaints about the various initiatives the club have put in place or anything you feel could benefit the club, please feel free to contact us via our e-mail address

Ste Ody

Can we have this as a sticky thing please?

Ste , here i am again , being serious

, im not knocking you or a Supporters Group , but we have had loads of ideas for Fundraising, some good , some not so good , some stupid , but its action we need to get funds , lets have somebody doing something , or backing the Fundraisers we already have .

Charlie,

Yes, we do have lots of ideas and these guys who have formed the North Stand Forum are going to implement some of them - i.e. they ARE acting on them. What they are finding is that there are a lot more good ideas cropping up and they, like the rest of the PSG, want to go with the best of them.

Hopefully, at the next Forum, in January, Trevor and others, will be able to expand on some of these ideas.

Meanwhile, keep up the excellent work, 'North Standers', and anyone else who wants to join in, the more chance we have of bringing some of these ideas to fruition.

Totally agree Alan , but we have had so many ideas , as i said , we need action , people getting involved , i havesaid in the past your Programme is for me the BEST in our League , up their with Super League standards , i have a couple of ideas for next season , for you to use , i will put them to you soon.

Again my message to Leigh Fans is back the Club , and ANY Fundraisers that interest you as we need all the Support we can get .

If you send your ideas a across, we'll discuss them with Trevor. I did bring up in 1 of the meetings, the club haven't sent out the emails with updates from the site. Last few days I've had them.

We also discussed posters/leaflets and general advertising.... In depth, spent at least 40 mins talking about we're to advertise

Rome wasn't built in a day, but 1 step at a time we can make this work.

Again Ste i applaud you



anybody who raises cash for our great club deserves applause , i support all the Fundraisers i can , my post was getting at all the People with ideas

who dont want to put them into practice , just keep comin up with Suggestions .

I know most think i just post Rubbish on here , maybe i DO , i agree , but like i say what isthe Difference between the Rubbish i post , and the Rubbish they post ,NOWT

my Rubbish is just more lighthearted thats all , i dont try to be a KNOW ALL

.

You posted that to annoy me

you and everyone knows I am a knowall.

Frankie you know i regard you as a Friend

that may suprise you , but i do , you may think you know alot , we all do , but you dont persist with your views , some on here have self inficted Love -Bites .

You travel to Fundraisers , support most things , and are a TRUE LEYTHER ,



well done sir , im not noted for my Crawling , but there it is ,MERRY CHRISTMAS , from the Carolis , have a good Christmas Frank.

Does anybody know the 3 busiest roads around the Leigh/arherton area. One will be the bypass, between the sport village and asda/sainsburys

Leigh rd at the traffic lights with kerkhall lane.
Bolton rd in atherton.
Twist lane at the junction with wigan rd and firs lane get very busy at times

The road past Lidl & Tesco.

It isn't the busiest roads you actually want ste , it's the busiest junction where vehicles are stopped , the issue then is how you place your ' signage '

The PSG is looking at putting some advertising at strategic parts of the borough , unfortunatley I haven't been able to attend a meeting for a month now , so I'm not sure if we have moved on this idea , but after Xmas hopefully things will move on this type of stuff

Try Warrington Rd going to the Greyhound in the morning and then the return journey from Culcheth about 5ish..........the rest are just playing about being congested.

That was one of the locations originally mentioned , but finding a private company to work with us is the problem

They`d be on a winner with the numbers going through that junction at those times....I can do 3 sudokus on each journey attempting to get over the greyhound.

We were looking we're the traffic was stopped, a few examples were the bypass, king street, road towards tesco/police station way . Also on the way to arherton . The only problems we face are findig land like you said, alot is private or we will need permission. Trevor said you was up for using the mobile advert?

I know it's obvious and may have been said at a meeting, but a good place is on the railings were Hilton park was , across from when you come out of Asda.

One of leyther matts suggestions

Thank you sir. I think that's a pretty prime one as that stretch of the bypass often has traffic waiting, even when Asda isn't particular busy. Immediately in front of the LSV would be good as well to give us something of an on-site presence.

It's very much in it's infancy of course but the club are prepared to help us out in terms of getting large 'Next match vs.....' banners in these strategic locations, but we're also planning to get smaller fixture lists and 'next match' posters to be distributed around shops if there are any shop owners on here who are prepared to display them or alternatively people who are willing to ask shops/pubs etc to display them.

Just an Idea I had....

How about at each Bar/food area having the collection pots (the Charity type) where people could either make a donation or simply put their loose change in without the pressure of someone collecting it?

The old "Your club Needs you!" logo on it would go down well I think.....

Pennies make pounds and all that!

Thought some clever clogs would have already thought of there Ste.

That's one thing I'd thought of in the past and certainly worth looking in to - I know that FC United already have something similar for their ground Development Fund so if people think that's worth looking in to then I'll speak to the folks involved (unless leigh_casual is reading this?!)

How about on the fencing at The Goose, the fence that looks onto the bus station, where we had the Leigh flag last season, would need permission off the Goose but wouldn't think it would be a problem.

I did bear that in mind but the impression I got that day was that very few buses go around that particular route in the bus station so it isn't anywhere near as visible as you might first think. With a limited budget, I think it's best to aim for areas with much more passing traffic etc. Trying to work with Maytree Travel in particular (who operate the LSV bus route) is certainly high up on our priority list though.
