Matt you know me well enough , i say it as i see it , im not being harsh ,im just not having a part -time supporter having a pop at people who care about our club,if HE thinks its a clique thats his opinion ,i laugh at myself ,and agree i talk rubbish at times , but my rubbish is just as good as any other posters on here , you know id do owt for this club, maybe some dont agree with me , i dont always agree with them , but i dont say its a clique ,if Nik got to more matches then maybe he wouldnt feel leftout.

Not too long a go there was a spell of ridiculing posters if they were the slightest bit critical and there was also some selective moderation. If any supported Super League teams anything they said was automatically out of order.
The forum has changed over time from a discussion medium into a mutual backslapping club, and if you aren't a member of this club you may as well be a leper.

I agree with Matt too but the surprising thing is despite that' we get more posts by far than any other Championship club.

I also agree with his comment about Scooter Nik but at least he airs his views from time to time as do other posters.

This isn't the only board incidentally which is quieter than it used to be.

Quite frankly when I disagree with someone I honestly don't think I personally ridicule them' although I do have the odd lighthearted post with Charlie.

I know individuals who used to post but don't now. I will ask one or two why not when I see them on Sunday.

Reffy you also have been guilty of jumping in without thinking as most of us have. This is a championship club and the fans are going to have problems with SL fans who come on here with their mighty than thow attitudes. On my life the only time I have witnessed anything like this was when that young man came on here saying he was helping TB and asked some questons. He was treated appallingly and I told the posters so. Having said that the club looked like it was going to go bump and people were in defence mode. All the time I have been on here I have only seen what you call "selective moderating" twice and it's probably because they were in bed. This board and it's moderators put up with a damn site more than some SL boards anyway.

Reffy i personally try to get everyone involved in the Forum in some way or another , whether it be by Jonnys polls ,discussions ,opinions ,lighthearted or serious , im not in any backslapping club either , i love Leigh , the Team , the Club , everything and try to get everyone involved , i realise everyone doesnt have the same interests ,Poker , the forecast Comp ,LISA members , or Touchdown Club , but im still trying to get more people involved ,we should all try to work together in some way , we all want the best for Leigh Centurions .

The forum seems to be used more when the team have been beat or we have some players in/out the side, we are winning with a settled squad so Long may it stay quiet



From what I've seen over the years people drift in and out the game, some lose interest and do something else then come back later, others pack it in altogether, the good thing with this board is we seem to have a lot of posters in anyhow so something must be right.

I probably won't be posting on here much longer either, as lisa will be attending our first. Board meeting next week, it will be a rule I can't post on here no doubt. So itll be lisa. News only from me after next Wednesday.

Lynda there is nothing stopping you commenting on a game that you have been to or a good night out or a great try is there?

Sorry to tread on your toes as an outsider leythers but as an outsider looking in I honestly believe yours is the best board out of all the boards in the championship category.

Your fans are clearly passionate and care about your club,yeah sometimes the debate does seem to get side tracked a touch

(season ticket discounts)

.

If we could replicate that level of passion and loyalty throughout the game then we would be in a lot better place as a sport.

We (Fev) rarely post on our board but use a different one,and to be fair at times I can see where new members would see some of the comments as a tad negative if the view is against the majority's way of thinking. But that's healthy and debate should always win out despite of who is either right or wrong.

Not back slapping anyone here but I believe you are a cracking club because of all of the above..

Disclaimer....I reserve the right to withdraw all of the above should you finish ahead of us in any competition this year..

Cliques a plenty on here these days. If people's opinions do not conform to the majority they are abused. This forum used to have lively debate akin to that seen between a bunch of mates in the pub. If your not a left wing, beer swigging, Barton loving, spinning jenny attending, middle/old aged man who wears cherry & white glasses, then post on here at your peril.

I'm not left (or right) wing, prefer wine to beer, don't go in the Spinning Jenny, and wear Specsavers reactive lense glasses, but I do support TB and can be either classed as old, (probably the reality) or middle-aged. (my preference)

Can I still post?

So Alan, by your own words you are an old Wino who sits on the fence, with dodgy eyesight worshipping Trev.



Very honest of you ....................................... and rather harsh.

All gone down hill since Gav moved on lol

, anyone know how he's doing these days?.I can see what some are saying in that if your not one of the ones "in the clique" then how can you possibly contribute. Then there are the nudge nudge wink wink private jokes. As for Steve (starbug) not being on here at the moment , do yo blame him?. He had concerns at the direction parts of the organisation we love were going and got ripped to bits and accused of spitting his dummy out because things wern't going his way iirc. I know Steve & Linda and being involved as they are in our club gets them gets them so much more grief and hassle as opposed to thanks or reward and has always been that way. So i would say yes it is like a private club and it's not easy any more to join in or have contributions taken onboard and or discussed. But saying that it could be as a result of the board getting quieter rather than the cause imho.

Gav is doing fine, still making electric and I did manage to drag him to one game last season. Not managed this season as yet

Ah, but without indulging in some of these little hobbies, I would be all the poorer for not having met you! Mine's a glass of Merlot, next time.

Well I pop over here every now and again to see whats happening. In the past it was to see how our Wire DR's were getting on, but I still come over because I am interested in how you are getting on, and I enjoy the banter. I suppose I have become a bit of a closet Leyther as I look at the fixture list and follow your results. As I have said before, you are a passionate set of fans and that is great to see in RL. I have visited a lot, but not all Championship boards and web sites and I think your one definitely stands out. ( I like the Barrow Raiders reports of their matches as well).

So nil carborundum. There are no perfect boards. Enjoy your social community.


Luck against Batley, I am expecting you lot to stuff them !!

If you call a bunch of loyal fans who go to games home and away together then post on here a clique then you are right. I think that if you read threads where this "clique" have posted I think you wll find a lot of different views and opinions.

CaW as Alan states , i too am neither right wing nor Left , i never argue about Politics or Religion ,im teetotal have been for about 20 years now ,at 60 years old i suppose i am an Owd un

, my specs are a Gold colour though ,as for loving Trevor B

i take folk as i find them , Trevor has never done me any harm , he ALWAYS contributes to any fundraisers i ask him to do ,and as far as i know the man has only Leighs est interests at heart , you may know something i dont ?

Im not going to have a go at PR , as far as im concerned the lad is doing a grand job , away from Rugby ,he is also a grand lad,i go to the Pub every Sunday to have a chat with the lads ,and as YOU put it ,its a Lively debate between a bunch of mates ,deffo no clique,i have never had a go at anyone on this Forum over their opinions , though i personally wont discuss things that happen during the Game with anyone who doesnt attend the said Game ,NO POINT ,they didnt go .

Lastly we all want whats best for Leigh Centurions on here ,but listen to Cushler ,and Winslades Offload,they enjoy coming on here , are not part of any clique,neither am i , just like the Craic,lets all go to the LSV tomorrow and cheer the Leythers on to a step nearer Blackpool.

At last we agree Mr Caroli, well said.

Have they stopped putting on who's on /visiting the Leigh forum ?






Or am I the only one here

Ive noticed that also

maybe the guy or gal responsable has gone AWOL



,anyway on another subject , ive backed Checkpoint at 7-1 in the 5.00pm at Sandown

.

Agree with everything you say CC.

I don't post much on here either at the moment , but such is life...

One only needs to re-visit the Leeds pre-match threads to see many of the cases in point.

Stopped coming on ages ago. In fact this is the first time for months. I think the reasons already stated speak for themselves.
