One has to wonder if it was a unanimous board decision to put all the effort into the SL application, knowing full well the decision by SL to award the 'poison chalice' to the elected team. It did not take much taxing of the grey matter to realise that with the assembled squad, the timing of the 'promotion' and the reduced funding on offer that we would struggle, in fact I predicted that we would not win a game all season and I have not seen anything to suggest that I will be wrong, unless of course like Saints did with London a couple of seasons ago some clubs may use games against us to rotate their squad.

So could the departure of those board members be like the song 'Enough is Enough', I think there may be more going on behind the scenes than we have been informed, never have I seen a club statement penned by Mr Beaumont so short and terse in his appreciation for what people have done for the club, I have the feeling that something just ain't right!

dont think we have a "board" in the normal sense we have an owner
isnt he on record as saying it was duffy and others who persuaded him to put the application together and a very good job was done.
we should have beat the pies who knows what confidence boost that would have given us.
clearly been some problems coach gone, persons refusing to play, cumulative injuries short term stay for an influential player, this has all prompted the usual leigh market tittle tattle as above
the commercial managers job was advertised so this may have prompted the statement short with Mr B down at Wembley i presume
picture was painted of a happy good ship leythers its been an extraordinary year with exceptional circumstances for many has that caused the split or something else is it time for a regroup or a complete restart

Market title tattle not required, there has been a void of information keeping the paying public in the dark all season, why doesn't the club come out with something to appease the fan's good or bad we know where we stand.

Communication has been fine. We have money for better players but can’t find them. We have had loads of injuries and struggle to turn out 17 with few middles. We have some players tekkin P but obviously legal reason restrict what can be said. We are currently shuffling what we have via loans, whilst seeing who is being freed in the NRL, all came out of the club

Somebody whispered it to you Mo, the official website is not that informative!

It all came from the clubs season ticket holders what's app group

whos running the club boris

So I was correct then nothing or very little coming from the official club website, if it is expected that fans have to find out what is going on through a social media outlet it is a totally bad show, I purchased my season ticket in good faith I would have expected that to be reciprocated by the club, but then again this is Leigh, the moniker may have changed to the Centurions but still it seems it can't shake of the much more apt name of The Comics.

I agree with Harry on this topic, we are getting away from the topic of the thread though, i for one would like to see the new head coach in before the season is finished, so he can at least assess the squad on merit.

Just gossip then.

Aye, I doubt it will be good news.

Sounds like a kiss and run type thingy, make a statement then keep your head down till it cools off, Only two days ago I said:-

"So could the departure of those board members be like the song 'Enough is Enough', I think there may be more going on behind the scenes than we have been informed, never have I seen a club statement penned by Mr Beaumont so short and terse in his appreciation for what people have done for the club, I have the feeling that something just ain't right!

I only hope that Mr B, is not the next resignation, else we are really in the Shi-ite, unless off course his pall The Good Doc Marwen is stepping into the breach.

Thats what i heard a few weeks ago.

Derek said he would refund your ST money if you so wished - surprised with your complaining you didn’t take up the offer

Things will be reet

With board members quitting and no news of the mentioned 2 Aussies does this mean we have totally messed the deal up and effectively just swapped 2 players for one with no quota players on their way. Is there any chance we can salvage some pride from this season.

Not good news when Directors are leaving in numbers!

Morning Col,
Irrespective of me or anyone else claiming a refund that is not the point in question, do I take it you feel that the club has kept it's patrons that being those with or without season tickets abreast of what is going on in the club?
It may have passed you by but Leigh Centurions are in the entertainment buisness and will live or expire by the number of people it can entice to spend their hard earned on supporting the club, to acheive this they need to embrace and keep ther target market fully informed of what is going on relevant to keeping the spectators interest going, and especially moreso in these obstructive and trying times.
I am eagerly looking forward to seeing Mr Beaumont's promised article in which I hope he will be completely and honestly open regarding the resignation of a number of Directors, the promised recruitment, the injury situation and either squash the rumours of some player's who are refusing to play or tell us why, and obviously anything else which will be of a positive nature to give the fan's a lift.
And NO, I did not and would not claim back my season ticket money back, you may have missed my post where I said incentivise those without season tickets and allow them entry for a much reduced than the normal price, I would sooner see the terraces and seats occupied than empty, my feelings is many fans would most likely not have seen a live game for a very long time and could so easily get out of the habit completely, and I am sure most other ST holders would have taken the same attitude.

I do not necessarily agree that we are entitled to know all the internal machinations of the boardroom but he could put some rumours to bed without any private/confidential information being released. after all he is well known for his tact


will you be sending the club the difference between a concession st and the new increased cost regular st

My personal circumstance regarding season tickets is that I knew the cost of mine when I purchased it and was prepared to pay it, now we have a situation where subjectively there are many places in the stands and on the terraces vacant because people are not prepared to pay the full asking price, it happens in most shops where goods aren't sold they reduce the price, and have you ever wondered why on Holiday people pay different prices for exactly the same conditions, simply because it is better to have the travel and hotel rooms occupied by reducing the cost than having them empty.
What I am suggesting is if the club can entice those "stay aways" to return for a reduced admission cost, it could well be a way of speculating to accumulate and they will keep returning when things hopefully return to normal.
Do I take it you are a season ticket holder and would take exception to people paying less per game than you have?

they are not directors but sponsors big difference

your comparisons are flawed and have not answered the question.why not let them in free like rochdale did the other week but then so did bradford and look what happened to them
when the club says one thing and then does another i do take exception as do many others

You're quite right, apologies, this is worse than i thought. If sponsors are leaving in numbers it seems there is something rotten somewhere. I did not mean to play this down so thank you for wising me up on the seriousness of this issue.

Are they not still sponsors - my reading of it is that they still are
