How long will it be? before we will see the team's profiles on the official web site, they have been on for the past few year's. And made good interesting reading so come on lad's & lassies........?

new websites being launched so everything should be on there. They have had meetings recently and i hope they have a launch date because it does need doing

No definite launch date Ste. It's just at the design stage, with a third party. We aim to have a Super League quality product, but I think we should still be keeping the current website up to date. Hopefully, (in ignorance

) it should then just be a question of migrating material across to a new website

I fully accept the point you make re trying to get as good a website as there is out there. However we need to be realistic and our existing website is an embarassment in terms of the content being hopelessly out of date, the 2012 merchandise being nowhere to be seen etc etc.

Surely if as a club we are trying to focus on improving our communications skills then something as visible as the website should be top priority and why this wasn't addressed earlier isn't good enough. Trevor has touched on the PSG meeting every week and I know that Alan has a large slice of his time taken by the match programme which is by the way second to none. However is nobody else capable of getting hold of this as a task & making it happen? God only knows how much merchandising revenue the website has cost us to date and yes I do understand how little money we have to order stock.

It almost seems we have gone backwards as a club since Keith's magnificent job of dealing with the Inland Revenue, surely at a time when we need to feed off the energy the fans pulling together has created.

I'll get off my soapbox now but we need to start seeing things happening as opposed to being in the pipeline.

I think it's a case of having the 'time' and 'staff' to update everything . But from a personal point f view the website needs to be priority.

The only reason i'm asking the question, is my two young grandson's look on the web site all the time. They keep asking me witch player have gone, what's the team we have now, and what do they look like. It seem's I have to Waite for the Reporter or Journal to read up on the match report's. And how the team performed in the game, witch player's played who scored it seem's a bit daft to me!

Sounds like you're volunteering?.....or are you one of those that can moan like a good 'un about the fact someone else isn't doing it??

If you buy the Reporter or Journal, you don't buy a black pen and a camera to fill the page's in your self do you!.....

I think he/she is fair in their comments.

If we are to be the honest open club we all strive for, people shouldn’t be afraid to raise concerns and/or ideas, without the ‘if you could do better then you do it attitude’, being thrown at them.

We have been told we have a PSG which focuses on communications. If they are unable to open up something which is one of the most fundamental means of communicating then what are they working on? Of course this involves volunteers, however I can't recall the club ever asking if anybody knows a web designer with a bit of time on their hands, perhaps Walt knows better though?

Nothing to do with moaning. If we look at club merchandise as a particular area, how many people have actually seen what is available this year? How much has this cost us as a result?

Mishmash posted a link somewhere on here to Leigh Life they have the 2012 team/player photos on their web site, if I can find it I'll re-post it.

I know it's not ideal and you'd prefer a dedicated Centurions website, but some of us have been working hard to keep up with all the goings on at the club. You'll find all the latest news and developments/ fixtures/team photos/Leythcasts/Podcasts/videos/match photos etc here: www.leighlife.com/index.php?page ... rions_rlfc

I think it's a little more complicated with much of the merchandise sales being handled by the girls at Jitterbugz (and what a fine job they do). Again, I would think it might be something that will become more of a factor should a new website come to fruition, though I completely agree that isn't much of a reason to take the eye off the ball in terms of the current website.

You ask, and I quote: [i"...is nobody else capable of getting hold of this as a task & making it happen?"[/i

I say to you, as something that obviously bothers you - be that somebody! Offer your services to search out a web designer with time on their hands, and get them on board. I'm sure Trevor, the board, the PSG, and all on here would be grateful of your positive input.
But, if you come on here, pointing out the shortcomings of the current set-up, and just ask the question why isn't something being done about it, then some people - myself included - might get the wrong impression, and think you were moaning!!

In answer to the question directed at me - no, I have no idea if the request for an underworked web-designer has gone out, but I also knew nothing of the web-site redesign either. Have you contacted Trevor, or anyone from the PSG to ask questions/offer suggestions/support?.....or have you just come on here to point out the short-comings?

Sorry but you're missing the point - if we are having an all singing & dancing website constructed, great. For the record do I think it should be up & running by now, yes I do. In the interim though the club need to sort out what we currently have & bring it into the 2012 season, after all as a framework it exists already. Andy Parky is tasked with this ordinarily, so why should an additional body be required to sort this?

I think I can answer your question. A meeting with a web designer was held on Tuesday and it's my understanding that he's now gone away to design it. I don't know how long this will take, but steps are in place to 'employ' a number of people to run this new site and keep it updated (of course they won't be employed really as they will all be doing it for free).

Sorry my reply was to Walt Mooney Fan Club.

I can't really answer for Andy but I don't think updating the website is his 'proper' job.

Neither do I but the concerns raised are correct having a new one is great but in the meantime the old one should still be up to date.

criticize - offer your services to assist Andy, or offer to find someone who could.

I'm not saying that I disagree with the sentiment of your post, but I feel it would be wrong of me to bemoan and belittle the current set-up, or those offering their services, unless I was doing it from a position of someone who had already 'got his hands dirty' for the cause.
I notice on our Kit suppliers web-site they are advertising the 2012 Widnes shirts, but the 2011 (and 2009!!) Leigh shirts!! Maybe O'neills could get involved in our web merchandising activities, as it serves both us and them to maximise our potential?

Wow, that's stirred things up! Where to start?

We WILL have a new, better website. We have a 'professional' with a strong RL background, who is designing it - free, as with so much else we have to do these days! Members of the PSG are putting in a lot of hours (believe me!) on improvements, including communications, where there HAVE been things done. Has anyone noticed them? We now have a member of the Board, who is committed to improving marketing and PR - much of it through communications. Unfortunately, some of these people on the PSG do have day jobs - which is frankly, inconvenient.

Five months ago, we didn't look like we were going to have a club, and new websites were the very last thing on our minds. So, we really do need to be patient. We are going to miss opportunities, while we address all the issues that are bouncing about. Having the odd person 'dissing' what is happening certainly doesn't help to motivate this individual to get things done.

=#FF0000However, I take the point about the current website. It SHOULD be updated, until we have a new one, ready to switch on. Maybe the problem is that, with the staff reductions at the club, the remaining staff are having to multi-task, often to the extent that their role also includes the proverbial one with the brush handle stuck up their a***e!

Meanwhile, I can only ask that you be patient and try to enjoy what IS good at the Club.

I am sure O'Neills posted a picture of the new Leigh kit on Facebook last week

Alan did you get my email?

Yes thanks and thanks for the offer, which is much appreciated!
