Totally agree Lynda and I think sticking to local businesses will work. Can Trevor or Braddy not provide a contact list of local companies who already work with the club in some way??

As for the quiz Lynda that means 25% of your members attended which is a good turn out. Potentially fast forward 3 months and with 1000 members to reach out to your attendance could be 250???

Most certainly not , I am not too happy with Lynda being on the committee either , as I see the amount of work involved , you are quite right it needs more top table support , volunteer away

Plenty of ways to run events to raise such a figure as proved last year Steve. In fact that should one of LISA main KPI's each year

Nope , asking the same people for more is not the way , we need new and more , not more from the same

It wasn't all members who attended , it was open to everybody that watches the club , and was advertised as such , so it was around 20 people out of 2,000 , so more like 1 % of the people aware of it , and those people being who it was to ultimatly benifit

You mean the sponsored walk ,

Steve the only businesses in this area who are going to give discount to LISA members are ones that have an interest in the club good luck asking the nationals!!

Advertised to 2000 people how???

I may well do once I know a) the make up of LISA and b) more importantly the future structure of the club

The relevance of either is ?

Relevance is irrelevant if its important to him/her.

Steve call it what you like my friend but on my maths it raised a 1/3 of LISA's total income in 2010 brought regional radio coverage and raised awareness of the LISA brand in the local papers. All of which should have resulted in a similar effort by the LISA committee to raise membership numbers then.

You make me laugh calling for people to come out and support the cause and come up with ideas you say yet when I do and raise good money you publically air your issues.

Also from a personal point of view I focused all my energies to arranging and completing the walk in memory of my mum and dad who both had died the previous year suddenly in a short space of time. I was actively encouraged by supporting counsellors to channel my energies in such a way. So you keep on annoyingly disrespecting an effort that helped me LISA and the club if it makes you feel good.

It isn't disrespect , it doesn't make me feel good , if you had organised the walk for charity as many others do all the time I have no problem with it , I wont comment on it further , in fact I will remove it as it isn't intended to to cause you upset

Yes you are quite correct about the LISA committee , but as I have suggested , I am not overjoyed about lynda's involvement anyway

Now who is being silly /

Via the club Website , this forum , match programmes and announced at matches

LISA like the club only get attention from fans when there is a problem , that will not change unless there is some monetary gain

YES it is disrespectful you call for ideas yet the one you don't approve you publically slate. The term begging could be assigned to pretty much anything to do with LISA. Do enlighten me as to what events we could organise that wouldn't be deemed begging.

Aren't you off begging on Sunday trying to get people to put £5 a month into a non charity.

Ill go back to posting limited posts on here cause quite frankly I'm sick of the hassle.

And your right it wasn't Lynda's fault members werent recruited last yr it was the other mystery committee members

Well if you not prepared to ask locals doesn't that just leave the nationals?

I don't buy programme but genuinely didn't know about the quiz

Dont take Mr Grumpy on, hes not in a good frame of mind atm, Im not really either for the same reason, but I dont let other matters stop me doing what is required.
He never has and never will agree with sponsership unless theres a charity involved, he doesnt mean any disrespect though for those of us who did the walk, I only asked people who were Leigh fans to sponser me anyway. They knew why we was doing the walk and wanted to help the club.

I think he best better stop posting on here before Sunday,. or we,ll have no chance of sucess will we.

Just to say we do have people who help other than committee members, and with all the new members etc, at the AGM Im going to ask for more committee members to be elected.

Its not good when a bloke who got off his backside and raised over £5k for the club is driven from doing it again.
Well done Ste, I understand the pain you were/are going through - a lot of what I have been motivated to do is also for a lost parent who loved our club, our club that meant so much to him.
Its these deep emotions that will keep us alive for the generations to come.
We need a united way forward to succeed, whichever path fans choose to support and do their bit within we are doing it for our clubs future.

Ste if I stopped posting on nhere because someone had had a go at me Id have been gone years ago, we all do what we do for the sake of the club full stop.

Well that comment (begging) is a great one to come out with thats going to encourage people to sponsor in the future if we ever needed to do one again i can see the comments now you can sod off even Lynda's husband thinks its begging unbelievable !!

My comment was specific to sponsorship for doing something unpleasant , I only agree with that for a genuine charity , but Leigh centurions are a business , if I said I wanted you to sponsor me to do the London marathon for my company , would you sponsor me ?

By me ? , sod off Neil

No you suggested companies already with a connection to the club , which essentially means sponsors , ie those companies already putting their hands in their pockets ,

My point being just like asking the same fans to contribute more and more isn't what is needed , asking the same companies to contribute more and more also isn't the way forward

What you will tend to find is ' selective hearing ' when events are being publicised

I eagerly anticipate Lynda's KPI measurements from LISA, backed up with all the mandatory RAG reports, graph's and pie charts

You have to laugh don't you ??

Who needs television???

Could sit all night and read the of the local wannabe heros Dipster Pea and Teabag going at it hammer and tounges



Its not about your inflated egos boys its about LEIGH CENTURIONS.

I've just read the thread through from top to bottom. Neil is right. I'm shocked at your tone too.

This 'begging' comment aimed at TS who worked his ass off for LISA last year is unbelievably wrong.

Your general abrasiveness and dismissiveness of anything not entirely aligned with your own thinking is a force working in the wrong direction.

As the other half of a person driving to attract new funds do you and yours think it would be a little better to embrace the positivity and passion of folk who post on here rather than potentially snuffing it out by implying they are stupid or trolls or just slagging them off?

I, like TS, believe that LISA needs to make it clear what its mandate is and how important that is in order to take the fullest advantage of the current momentum. In the absence of that, I have still signed up but think you'd do better on Sunday if you had a very clear story to tell about what we do with the money.

Instead, every time someone says something you don't like, you shoot them down.

That is not leadership and, for the sake of this current push for funds, please pack it in (As you once, quite rightly, asked me to do) as NO GOOD CAN COME OF ANY OF THIS NEGATIVITY.
