Michael nobody should be running a club if they don't tip in every year. We need about £100k pa from the board to be close to reaching our potential, if you can't be a part of that then you shouldn't be a part of the decision making process. I am not in a position to write off £50k yet as part of that figure but you never know.thanks for your endorsement for something I have not applied for, you need to join a psg or become a mod on here with your skills

You know what Maurice you're absolutely right, so like I said earlier I think the current BOD should do one and shut up shop until these mystical beasts with 100k pa to 'invest' appear from over the horizon.

(Just don't hold your breathe waiting though because if they do jump ship like you want them to, we won't have a team to watch, never mind bitch about).

Had a committee meeting tonight have we, been given orders ? I have a strong view that a BoD need to tip in and that the figure is circa £100k pa to make a difference be that 10 £10k's, 5 £20k's or 100 £1k's doesn't matter
What would you do if designing a strategy to support beleighve?
For what it's worth I am apathetic to the radio and Alan Sussed out after your first post on the topic. You can help me with a question, LISA were offered a shareholding in the transparent new dawn- did they get it?

Not been near the club since last Tuesday and won't be meeting again till next Tuesday.

So what do you suggest the club should do whilst we wait for these people who are willing/able to chip in?

I'm sure if you approached the BOD with the required 100k pa (with however many people it takes to make up this sum), they'd be only too willing to hand the reins over - you seem to have it all sussed. Personally I can't wait.

Well of course maurice, you're a backseat director. Doesn't want the responsibility that comes with being one, but likes to proclaim about each and every decision.

I'm going to challenge your key assertion:

"nobody should be running a club if they don't tip in every year"

You're wrong. If only people who tipped in significant cash should be running the club, then I'm afraid nobody would be running the club. You assume these willing investors exist, but the evidence is to the contrary.

If you know better, then please, help make it happen. Nothing would make me happier than having our club financially stable with a strong and experienced board of directors.

Or you could bitch on the internet about LeighLife radio match broadcasts. Your choice.

I would be doing more than we seem to be to generate income and increase gates,as we seem to be into corporate slang I would be selling not telling
The rest I will ignore

Why only 'would be'? You don't need to be on the BoD to be a do'er.

Thank you for acknowledging that you're ignoring the rest of my post. It gives me great confidence that I was correct.

Michael you are clueless. The first step to generating cash is to ask and make it attractive to do so. The ignore comment was to Mish, you posted as I hit the button.

I'm sure, being in a position where you are unable to invest, that you're keen to positively contribute how you can. So to that end, you'll be in constant contact with Trevor to inform him of your fully explored (and funded where necessary) proposals for how we can raise interest amongst investors.

Given your proven background in these matters, combined with your superb leadership skills and charisma, we'll have our club sorted in no time.

[iOr maybe there's a deep, worldwide economic depression and next to nobody is looking for a black hole to drop cash in to? [/i

Brierley, Pownall , Littler, Higson, O 'Donnell, McNally, Coyle, Parker, Penkywicz, Hopkins, Finnigan, Goulden, Ridyard or Briscoe. Nicholson, Ostick, Maden, Taylor

I think I'll draw an end to this rather than get dragged down further. Interesting team LF

Seems like the Mods are circling the Indians

Ah no they're just on an ego trip and backing their selves up whilst contributing nowt ala the radio



Reminds me of an old saying Mo ,

" If your not part of the solution then your part of the problem "

Seems apt .

Well any road back on thread with my team ( It's for the league really because Fridays just a bit of fun and a day out for the fans as we know we're going to get mullered )

1 , Brierley ( He's done well at FB this last few weeks )
2 , Maden ( He's had his day but still does a job )
3 , ? ?? ( We desperately need a couple of quick centres )
4 , Littler ( Just for his experience )
5 , Pownall ( The lad just had a bad day v Fax )
6 , Riddy ( Obviously )
7 , McNally ( Has experience and I want to see how he goes at HB )
8 , Parker ( Typical prop big and daft )
9 , Penky ( Experience and knows where the try line is )
10, Ostick / Spencer ( When available )
11, Goulden ( Nuff said really )
12, Hoppy ( Never a prop in't memory of mon )
13 , Beswick ( Just so Trevor can bring Bob )

14, Nicholson ( The lad deserves a chance )
15, Duffy ( Still a bit flabby but has done well when asked )
16, Finnigan ( I've still not made me mind up on him yet )
17, Coyle ( I've not seen enough of him yet )

I've had a flick through the fixtures and can only find 3 games where we can give some of the lads a breather , but there are a few lads that could step up from our U20's for a game or 2 ....... Bullock , Bate , Josh ( Obviously ) and O'Donnell .

Would make good listening on Free Centurions Radio

Riddy worst/slowest 6 in league - Someone should look into LMR U18'S 6 Shaun Myers

I think worst is a bit over the top but will defo be one of the slowest, I really believe he would benefit in the long run from being taken out of the firing line for a few games, the decision to try and put a 30yd pass to pownall from 10m out with no-one at all in front of him just proved his own self belief and confidence is shot to pieces.

Well I do not agree I just think he made a mistake.

When he gets subbed I think we miss him. He has a proper RL brain and has suffered from not having a proper scrum half all season.

I would def put McNally there if Coyle is not fit and would select tacklers only in the pack if you follow my drift.

Re centres I would go with O Donnell and Higson to give us pace which we will need on Friday. Wingers Maden and Pownall.

Im so happy youre not the Coach .

Wallace as you know , i love a good radio programme

Two way Family Favorites .





.

Not much chance of that. But stay the same you are always the same.

Will try to help you on Friday. I know how giddy you get in Pieland.

Dont talk daft L4L we dont look on our own doorstep

, we nearly lost out on Hoppy and when he changed his mind on Salford Basil paid him peanuts , Fax's Ryan Fieldhouse played on the doorstep for 3 years without a sniff from Leigh

as did the stand out player in the NCL at the time ( again with an ex pro dad ) Gary Middlehurst who's currently wasting his time at NW Crusaders along side other former Leyth based players Leon Brennan and Jonno Smith .

Gary Middlehurst could be the No 13 we're looking for .

What do you think Mr C ? .

WHAT A LOAD OF BOLLOX.....

I agree with all you said Keith and Leigh could get all four for peanuts and improve the side by clearing out some of the dead wood .

But we know it wont happen under this regime as they have no vision .

defy garbage??
