Greetings, Eagles fans. Just to let you know what will be in our matchday magazine, this coming Sunday. There are 52 pages of topical stories, and photographs, plus GAME ON - all for £3!

Virtually all the correspondents have something to say about volcanic ash, and long breaks in France!

=#0000FFROBBIE PAUL gives the players’ perspective on the trip and, as usual comes up with the positives. Hel also divulges his special relationship with Ricky Bibey!

=#0000FFIAN MILLWARD looks back at the last three games – two of which were over t’Channel.

=#0000FFLYNDSEY SMITH previews forthcoming events at LSV

=#0000FFDAVE PARKINSON updates his stats, pens three match reports and reminisces on the 2001 season that promised so much, and ended in tears.

=#0000FFALLAN ROWLEY compares hospitality in Toulouse, with Limoux!

=#0000FFBOB SHUTTLEWORTH looks at Leigh v Sheffield history and looks back at an all-conquering Leigh Schools team. There are some familiar names and faces there!

=#0040FFJAMES GORDON looks at likely fixture chaos in the Championships

=#0000FFTONY WILLIAMS has been given leave of absence this week, to do some alternative writing – his university dissertation! Good luck Tony.

=#0000FFGARETH WALKER writes in praise of Barrow! We’ll forgive him this once, as the Raiders’ Cup achievement was tremendous.

=#0000FFMAURICE JONES and =#0000FFWAYNE KEEGAN showcase their customary excellent action photos and are joined this week, by =#0000FFSTEFAN SALE. I can’t praise Maurice and Wayne enough – they do so much to bring the pages of ‘The Centurion’ to life.

=#4000FFSTEVE MANNING returns with a gripe about how BARLA is going about deciding what time of the year to play their competitions.

=#0000FFSHAUN CURRIE attempts to explain the rationale behind some of the Stadium Ground Regulations.

=#0000FFALAN EDGE attempts a preview of Sheffield, without using any of the material he used when they were last at LSV, in July! I’ve also managed to unearth a report of the Limoux game from a different angle – a French newspaper. But I can’t help thinking something got lost in the translation!

The =#0000FFCOMMUNITY STAFF celebrate another successful application for ‘Aimhigher’ funding. You only have to see the initiatives they are involved in, to realise how active this department is.

=#0000FFCOMMERCIAL Department remind us again about the upcoming Corporate Cup competition.

And finally, just to touch on that volcano again, the club has received a letter from RFL CEO Nigel Wood. This letter is reproduced in ‘The Centurion’ – it may just surprise some of you!

All this, plus the regular =#0000FFLOTTERY and=#0000FF LISA news, plus =#0000FFGAME ON magazine – still for just £3!

Dont care much for the Game On, how much for just yours?

Still £3 - so to have both is the bargain!

Badvibes - grab one of these for me please. I wonder if there will be a page dedicated to Nottingham this year?!?

Copy that. If theres another Nottingham page ill take issue personally

Very good prgramme it has to be said. Just what our game is missing.

Thanks - amazingly everyone I've got contributing to it, is doing it for nowt! I even have to pay to get mine!

I wouldn't knock 'Game On', as any RL publicity is good publicity. However, most clubs see it as an opt-out for them. Most programmes (including ours) were/are running at a loss and they do take up a lot of time - so most clubs seized the opportunity to stop producing them!

Personally I agree with the Leigh club - the matchday magazine is an excellent opportunity for the Club to communicate with the supporters, and add to the 'matchday experience'.

Were losing out on advertising in our own programme. That's my main gripe.

Ironically we were looking at a 28/24 page split of features/adverts. However, we are nowhere near 24 pages of ads, so there are more features! It might be better value for the punter, but not the Club!

What do you mean by that, Doctor ?

Financially, the programme was barely worth the effort put into it, even with the advertising.

However, I do have a concern that it's much more difficult to communicate with our own supporters when we only have a two page spread every home match.

Communication with the club is now non existent. I can't remeber the last time I got an e-flyer. The programme was best for this but that's been removed now due to the game on.

We could run a similar thing to Leigh like a small prog or a pullout but who has time/money to do it?

Got my copy last night, an excellent programme.
