So its you who got the kick off time changed

Do we have a communications director now? Hasn't he been made chairman, so there is a role to fill.

I personally think that comms out of the club from 2015 onwards have been pretty poor. Not entirely the fault of Mike Latham, but because of how the club as a whole (or just DB?) have chosen to address things. Way issues around Penky, Barlow, Chase etc... dragged the club's reputation through the mud, and things like response to Ridyard signing for Fev showed that we cannot get our point across without seemingly looking for a tit for tat argument. All they had to do was thank him for his service, say he was offered a contract and wish him the best in the future. Didn't need any quotes, statements and certainly didn't need some nonsense about joint releases and how we'd been wronged as a club.

Just before the Batley game, we were subjected to an excuciatingly long piece about taking food and drink into the ground. It is what it is, just tell us what we need to know and don't spend 500 words trying to justify yourselves!

The press release, announcing Mike's appointment as Chairman, indicated that he still is Communications Director, including the time-consuming (believe me! ) role of matchday magazine editor. https://leighrl.co.uk/wp/blog/2018/02/1 ... enturions/ You do make an interesting observation about how some of our announcements seem to get embroiled in 'tit for tat' arguments. Whatever the rights and wrongs of the departures of the likes of Ridyard, Brierley etc, these guys had been our heroes, and maybe just a 'thanks for your service to our club' would have sufficed on their departure. Unfortunately, (just on the evidence of the Toronto game) some of these guys seem to have been highly motivated by something on their return to LSV! As for Sunday's kick off change, I'm not happy about it, but somebody did suggest that LSV has a prior booking at 3 p.m. Doesn't that still seem the likely reason for change? (although a lot of discontent could have been avoided by announcing that, up front, I suppose)

Think some people on here need to be very careful what they are wishing for.

If you don't wish to attend for the sake of 2 1/2 hours then so be it, the club appear happy enough to offer a refund - although, apart from ST holders not many would have bought based on 3pm ko

The change is down to Toulouse struggling getting a flight and having to travel to Barcelona first to get one that’s all it’s nothing serious

Well if that's the case I wish you'd said so 7 pages ago



DB will be laughing his newts off reading some of the comments on here

The host club asked for it to be changed.

According to Toulouse website, the change was requested to avoid clashing with United v Chelsea. www.to13.com/actualites/leigh-ce ... -dhoraire/

Innit sad when you have to get your information in French.

Oui!

Do you work at The Conservative Party HQ?

Shocking they dont tell us anything . This is why rumours start

The Toulouse camp are confirming that it was changed because of the United game.

Well if rumours are true,a statement will follow at some point.

You translated my posted link!

This kick off time needs to be changed again. I will be at Longridge till around 6pm on Sunday, so cant make KO time

Sorry for any inconvenience that this will cause

The good source was definitely true then.

Do you have a link to that please Gene?

If people can take the time to post an image,possibly they should do the same concerning social media rather than leaving speculation.

No link,your post is useless here. Read the rules.
