Ste I think that if every business and every wall in Leigh had a Poster advertising the Event on it ,it wouldn't matter one jot,because if the individual didn't want to attend they would,there a many folk in Leigh that are not interested in RL ,they might like Soccer, Horse Racing, Golf ,or just watch on TV it's their choice ,I support Leigh Centurions,but I wouldn't stop eating KFC if they refused to display a Centurions poster.Live and let live.I recently went to Evans Halshaw for my Car,partly because they sponsor Leigh, but I did like the Car itself and the service I received, it's all about choice.

Yes we do. I bring my grandson from Abram and his dad has his first season ticket year. Perhaps we should rename as Leigh Cosmopolitans

But does he visit Claphams when he comes to the games?????

I was walking up Bradshawgate earlier, I was going to list the businesses that weren't displaying a poster but I ran out of ink.

Would the Centurions let the bakery have free sponsorship on the front of the home shirt?

I very much doubt it, they would want something in return. Of those 4000 extra visitors, how many do you think use the local businesses? Maybe a few local pubs will sell some more beer but not many away fans go and take a stroll around the town for a few hours before the game

Sightseeing in Leigh

would I need a Guide and an interpreter.

Just Jasper the guide dog.

You'd need a police escort Terry

I like their pies and was gutted when I couldn't get one from them because they were shut due to their unfortunate circumstances. I had to make some butties at home.

It's their perogative what they do with their window and door space.

Like reffy said how many shop windows do not display Posters? I'd estimate more than do so tipster, please go round and make a note and tell us about those business without singling out one.

You really do post some poo at times and cause more harm than good with some of your prophecies and ideas.

Be handy to know which local shops or businesses do support us so maybe rather than looking at those that don't we should maybe name all those that did help the club then in return some fans (not all) may choose to support those businesses as they have supported our club by whatever means that is.

Very good post Jenky and a great suggestion

IT certainly is their prerogative to display what they want , no arguments my friend.

To answer your point, 1 was singled out because they were the ONLY one to refuse to display an advert, so no need to do that roll call you suggested

Why did Claphams Bakery refuse?

because its their prerogative to do so

Because they said if Claphams accept to display the posters ,Leigh fans would become customers,and they didn't want you coming in the shop sending customers to sleep.

Let me rephrase the question? What was the reason/excuse for not allowing the poster?

Why should they have to give a reason/excuse.One thing this post is doing is giving Claphams a lot of publicity.Its a bakery not a multi national company

Claphams is now run by by our lovely friends from the EU they probably don't know what rugby is .

WTF. That's some assumption. You'll be telling us it's all in the interpretation.

I must admit I was wondering WHO our friends from the EU are?

Ian, So long as they don't interfere with the slappie.

I've not heard that for a while Derek, I know your Bri loved them from Clemmies pie shop on Railway Road.

Ian, If mi memory serves me right,was there a clemmies pie shop at top o Bradshawgate as well.

By the way Ian,our Bri went benidorm today. Jammie sod.

Sorry folk for being O/T

Im not sure about Clemmies, Derek their shop was a couple of doors down from the Journal Office.Well your Bri didn't much today ,probably topping up his Tan.

Has he gone to the Solana.
