Out of interest, what were the problems that you had with the stewards and how recently did it happen?

It was at at the "friendly" against Wigan. I was literally assaulted (a policeman asked me if I wished to make a formal complaint against the steward in question but as he(the steward) was very indimidating I felt that discretion was the better better part of valour!). Let me also say that the steward in question was backed up to to hilt by the head steward and other stewards none of which had in fact witnessed the incident in question. There are undoubtedly SOME very good stewards at LSV but there are also a number who are frankly a disgrace and the club needs to ensure that they are rooted out. I however live in hope rather than expectation.

Does she go to away matches ?

why, they have no control over the stewards, its for the LSV management to do the apologising. As i see it all the club can do is bring the LSV to book for THEIR staff allegedly abusing one if the clubs long time supporters.

Other than that i don't think there owt else they can do.

Wrong.....all forms of cameras aint allowed according to the stewards in the west stand, last season a group of teenage girls from another club were taking pics of each other near to were I was sat and were not doin owt wrong - 1 of the jobs worth stewards come over and told em to stop as it wasnt allowed inside the stadium for health and safety reasons, also that they LSV didnt allow it in case people take pics of kids.

Its about time that this stupid rule was stopped.

yes the stewards are okay except when they are really needed like when we played halifax and then they were nowhere to be seen

SILLY REPORTER. THE LETTERS Page, never have letters on LEIGH CENTURIONS.
NOW THERE'S 3.
1) female fan being assaulted by steward (weeks after it happened)
2) Leigh not ready for Super League
3) then one about marketing, and saying how we need to improve the team (fair enough, EVERY team can do with improvements)

Does no-one ever send nice letters about Leigh RLFC, YES, but that's not interesting.

A fax fan.........

I can't argue with you on that one.

She pays her money to Leigh and its Leighs responsibility to ensure he has a safe and enjoyable time. Its upto Leigh to challenge the management company as they have paid them for their services.

If she wants to stand she should go in the North Stand!! The seats are there for a reason. Sit down, watch the game and stop trying to find a reason to have a dig at the club. We play in a modern stadium that has health and safety rules. Every other "new" stadium is the same get over it or push off, the team and club doesn't need or want all this negativity.

The steward has created the negativity, something Leigh should address, you are right the fans who have any little gripe should push off. I stood up all game alst week at old trafford and was never asked once to sit down.

They are ways to talk to people to address issues and the woman is airing her feelings as she feels she was verbally abused. How is the view from your high horse anyway?

no, the stewards are in the employ of the people that Leigh RENT the ground from, Leigh have no control over the stewards, infact its the other way around, trust me

Leigh rent the ground and the stewards are part of that package. The lady pays her money to Leigh so it is Leighs responsibility.

We have had issues at Wigan this year and has been fed back to the CEO (when he was there) and he fed it back to the stadium company.

The club takes the entrance money from the customers therefore it is the club's responsibility to respond to and sort any complaints.

I am in the employ of the LSV NOT Leigh Centurions, any stewarding issues are nothing to do with Leigh RLC, All they can do is pass it on.
It is the LSV this disgruntled female should approach.
She is using it as an excuse to band wagon jump to another club.

No it isn't, the club took her money so they should take on her complaint and the club should then address the complaint to the LSV management.

Correct, no is denying who you work for Dave. However, you are a third party as Leigh have taken the money.

in Town this morning I was accosted by three different people who all said the same thing to me i.e.(did you see that letter in the paper about your stewards it's disgraceful" to the first two I explained slowly and carefully that the stewards weren't Leigh Stewards but were employed by the L.S.V.so although it was negative publicity for the Club it wasn't the Clubs fault. but when I was stopped for the third time in 10 minutes I said "look it's bugger all to do with me just because i watch the team I am not responsible for the actions of one bloody idiot Iv'e no time for any of em if it was left to me I.d sack the bloody lot of em cos theyr'e all less than bloody useless anyway so would you mind going and mithering some other bugger" I felt bad afterwards but the actions of one idiot have had repercussions on the fans now.

Its all well and good having an issue with a steward, but if this "fan" had taken the appropiate action and brought it to the attention of the LSV on the day or at a later stage, surely there would have been a better outcome than splashing all over the reporter and causing all this mither and bad publicity.

Without wishing to appear pedantic on this one, LSV takes the admission money , takes their cut for stewarding, rent and other agreed expenses, and passes what's left to Leigh Centurions.

So Leigh get the money but pay for the rent of the stadium costs?

You dont seem to be reading the posts correctly.Alan has hit the nail on the head it cannot be much clearer.

I am reading the post. The money goes to the stadium first, how else are people going to get in? The moeny goes to Leigh after the stadium has taken its deductions. The deductions are rent for the stadium/facilities. Soooo if Leigh rent the stadium for the day it is down to Leigh to chase up.

We put flags up at OT last week. We had to get authorisation from the RFL for this due to them renting the ground on that day not Manchester United who own the ground.

Before Leigh get anything, the LSV deducts the cost of employing =#FF0000their stewards, in =#FF4000their stadium. Unfortunately, Leigh cannot be held responsible for the actions of the stewards employed by LSV. Leigh are renting the stadium, but not the stewards.

Of course, in the sensible world, both parties would get together to thrash out this, and other issues. And that does happen but, frustratingly, it takes time. Meanwhile, if this supporter wishes to withdraw her support, then that is, regrettably again, her right.

And, on the topic of flags, they are put out by the groundsmen, who are employed by......... yes, you've guessed it, LSV!
