| Quote ="PlayTheBall"In response to Starbug's further comments - I don't feel any need or obligation to identify myself or to offer any explanations to anyone.
However to put everyone's mind at rest and to avoid anyone getting carried away with any crazy conspiracy theories - I shall explain. I am quite simply an avid Leigh fan with some commercial experience through my employment and have followed the club home and away for over 30 years.
My wife is highly amused at Starbug's demand to know which member of the BOM I am.
I am most certainly not a Member of the BOM and have never at any time met or spoken to a single member of the BOM.
My opinions, expressed on the Forum, are nothing more than what I consider to be commercial common sense - arguably a commodity sadly lacking in our game and in the management of our great club for far too long. If Starbug feels my opinions run close to those of the Leigh BOM then I am delighted because that supports my belief that they are doing an excellent job and deserve the fans unwavering support as they address the very difficult challenges ahead.
I am equally delighted that Andy Mazey has decided to publicly acknowledge my interpretation and to expand upon the club's current position. This is despite my recent suggestion via this Forum that he should cease posting on here. My delight is absolutely nothing to do with a personal ego trip. In my opinion it confirms that the club - assessed in terms of a professionally managed business - is in a better place that it has ever been, certainly in the time I have been a fan and probably in its entire history.'"
That's much as I read the situation too.
However, if Starbug, or anyone else for that matter, has any good ideas, then hopefully the BOM will have the time to evaluate them, to see whether they can run with any of them. |

Its a fans forum for fans, the ones I will believe/respect on here, are the ones who feel no need to hide behind their usernames.
Whilst you don't have to show who you are, you get better respect when people know WHO it is that is THEY ARE replying to etc
I also would NOT POST something on here that I wouldn't say to someone face to face.

Hi Alan
We wont ever turn away anyone wishing to put forward ideas. As an example I have recently put forward to Rob, Amanda and the board a list of ideas from one of our touchdown club members and I will be giving him feedback on our evaluation of each idea individually.
As he will testify I sat down with Starbug 12 months ago and he presented me with some of his ideas. Many of them great ideas and we have tried to use some of them were possible within the budget we have had at our disposal and will do more so as the business develops moving forward with increased staff levels, resources and hopefully budgets for marketing and advertising.
Anyone with any ideas they wish to put forward is always welcome and my email address is andy.mazey@leighrl.co.uk
Thanks

| Quote ="Starbug"A simple question, setting aside the ' Sugar Daddy ' situation, which clubs are the most successful?
Which clubs attract the most corporate and biggest sponsors?
Answer, those with the biggest crowds
Now if you disagree, fine, explain to me this ' complex equation '? , if it involves ' special relationships ' with the LSV? Dont bother ,I've heard that one before
 '"
Bradford were never out of the top 4 for attendances but as we know went bang at least twice and only kept going due to the RFL buying the ground.
You can't argue with the fact that bigger crowds bring in more revenue and sponsors but its not the panacea to success ,an important part I agree but only part of the story on the bumpy road to long term success. |

I am just a fan with a half full glass posting on a rugby league fans forum alongside thousands of others.
An opinion is an opinion - most people have one on most subjects - if I am so minded on Leigh Rugby matters then I occasionally express mine on the fans forum as well as in the pub.
My objective, along with most other people who post, is simply to make reasoned contributions to the debate in a positive, constructive and respectful manner.
So long as I operate within my Code of Practice I don't need to feel accountable to anyone.
I am frankly not sensitive enough to care too much about who believes me or who respects me.

My suggestion of your board membership was more ' tongue in cheek ' than anything serious brought on by as Andy aluded to how close to the party line you were , no conspiracy theories, just a bit of fun |

It is only a part, but the biggest part, and probably the most important part |

Didn't we average nearly 5k in 2005? With a competitive team you can add 3k to that minimum. Does anyone on here remember when Warrington averaged 4k, it can be done!

I think we are going in the right direction.
I am glad we lost on Sunday because the Mantra of going through the season unbeaten was putting pressure on the boys week in week out. We could have easily lost 4 this season !!
I am predicting a couple of 3k crowds before the play offs. If this happens (and to be honest, i feel 6-30 Saturday is the way to go), no one needs to be Nostradamus to realise the improvement the club has made in 12 months !!

I hope the club don't use that phrase ' will the town back a SL team'. I know what you mean DJ but this phrase should be no way associated with the club.

Don't think you will go as fare as Cumbria, but if you can send me some flyers i will post them in Workington and Whitehaven.
I am building a cumbrian Leyth fan base in West Cumbria, but i need more Leigh promotional stuff, lets not just make it in the surrounding areas of Leigh lets make it country wide.
Would the BOM help with the cost of coaches, i can probably get 2 or 3 coaches for home and away games?
You know it makes sense.

Hi Steve,
Just spoken with Derek Beaumont and he says that if you can fill a coach of 50 people then the club will subsidise the journey to the extent of the price of your return coach and match ticket will cost you just £20 each. Which is a great deal in so much as your match tickets are £16-18 each anyway! |

Hi
Mi Dad spends a lot of time in Marbella at his villa and has a few mates over there who if they can get another passport would love to come to games, he is willing to leaflet the area if the £20 offer is available. You shouldn't just limit the market to Cumbria plus his mates can bring over lots of cash that needs cleaning
