By 'the south' they may have only meant 'south of Scotland', so we may still have a chance

On a similar Vein to this thread , does anybody know of businesses in Leigh owned by Leythers that employ more than 20 employees ?

The only one I managed to come up with was Waterfields

Any more ?

Possibly a couple of window companies?.

Can't think of any others off the top of my head.

My fiancee works for Waterfields and she got a nice letter yesterday saying there'd be no pay rise as basically they're losing money hand over fist so thats not an option unfortunately.

Who owns The Bridgewater business park? Might be worth a punt.

Emirates Airlines! All it took was an e-mail from Mike Callaghan to the CEO (a Leyther) and we got major sponsorship for our Superleague season. Surely someone at the club still has his e-mail address, they could bring him up to speed with our plight.

Pataks? Although i'm fairly sure they've been asked before?

Pretty sure Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum is not a Leyther

One of their directors was though! I think I heard he had moved on though, but may be wong

He used to run an off licence off Leigh Road.



I meant Sir Maurice Flanagan Executive Vice Chairman.

One of his staff is. M family used to look after an old man and his son used to work for a company as one of his head architechts, in fact I think there's two of them.

we have got Asda,Tesco,Sainsburys and Morrisons,multi million pound companies all in one mile radius it would be very nice just for one of these companies to come out and offer the club some financial support and give something to the local community as 2000 leythers doing their shopping in their supermarket would be a financial insentive for them,certainly would get my custom.

mine too

A definate sponser , would be ready andwaiting , but what is needed is ideas and more ideas to put forward ,once they have been polled as popular by Jonny , then thiscan be scanned and assesed as to the most sincere proposals then the said applicants and said sponserscan get together and find a solution .

To me this is fluent nonsense , but then all nonsense is the same , isnt it?I feel ideasare to think up but harder to acclimatise to , Waterfields make very good pies

but others are trying to under mine them Blackpool has theTOWER CIRCUS , im going back to see what can be done .

Charlie has your doctor changed your pills again ?

Frank im just frustrated, i see all these ideas ,and some talking nonsense , so whats the difference between their nonsense and mine?

You know me Frank , i get this way at times feeling a bit down , im still getting over the Play off match , but i will bounce back , my doctor thinks im doing well though .

Are you coming for a drink with us on Sunday Ian, watching the Final?

Plenty of new business's in Leigh at the mo , have the club tried Tesco's , Morrisons or Cineworld ???

Tesco's have contributed towards the 'Youth Fund' Morrisons are as tight as a Knats behind, don't know anything about Cineworld.

Are you sure about Tesco, Fred? Another large supermarket is willing to contribute to the Youth Fund.

Yarkshur firm....what d'you expect??

SL sponsorship only ,last time we asked

Not actually owned by Leythers , that was part of my question

The only other one I can think off is Crimson DMS on Leigh Business Park. www.crimsondms.co.uk Their MD lives on Smallbrook Lane. Don't think he has any interest in RL though.

You'd hope one of the myriad of supermarkets would be willing stump some money up. And the obvious tie in could be say, 5% or so off shopping on production of season ticket.

For the price season tickets are im sure a few people in the town would buy one just for the money off scheme and so more money to the club.
