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!

If I purchase a season ticket, does the money go to the LSV?

No it goes to LCRLFC

So the woman should complain to the club and Leigh as tenants should complain to the LSV about the actions of one of their workforce. It doesn't come much simpler.

The nonsense about LSV getting the money first is a smokescreen

Think this to be true. Why is it obvious to this person that LSV is the place to complain to? She supports Leigh so she should complain to them so they can look into it. Its in the clubs interest to take that complaint seriously too.
As for the woman giving up after all the years watching in the snow etc - how weak are you to be allowed to be dictated to in watching Leigh by a individual steward. Also sit down in a seated area you clown!

What I find odd about this is why the lady only sent the letter to the Reporter at the end of September or in early October. And if 'it was in September' I can't think of what would have brought her to her feet whilst a game was going on.

Don't think so - an agreed proportion of ST sales goes to LSV.

Can we agree that the season ticket money goes to the club and they pay their expenses out of them including rent to the LSV?

she was probably brought to her feet by one of her neighbours trying to get past her to purchase a pie or a pint (though God knows why) or to use the toilet,when the ground first opened I got my season ticket for the west stand but soon got pi**ed off with all the movement so I transferred into the North stand

In a roundabout way. My responses were to inform 'Pieman' who was saying something different.

Does she attend away games ?

I wanst, but you all took it that way. I said the money goes to Leigh who then pay expenses.

this is the second time you have posed this question starbug I for one dont know if she attends away games but will take the bait why do you ask is it relevant.

I was wondering the same myself why he is asking this question maybe if she is such a big fan then it won't deter her from going to away games or that the stewards at away games are same as ours don't know and unless he tells us why he's asking it will remain an enigma Peawapp

Starbug enigmatic ? I think your post explains why he has posed this question twice.

If you went to see the Rolling Stones at the MEN Arena and had a problem with a steward, would you complain to Mick Jagger ? Probably not.
But realistically it matters nothing who is technically responsible here. The point is it is the club that is being blamed and is getting the bad publicity. They need to respond. A letter from the club in next week's Reporter is needed which clearly puts forward their side of the case. Maybe offer the lady free tickets to one of the executive suites for one of the pre-season friendlies as a sweetener, and have the Reporter publish a nice photo of her smiling with our chairman.

Typically, some are dismissive - hopefully the club aren't, despite the rights & wrongs of the chain of communication.

sensible post HJ
