Deamon UK,



Your questions are valid. Do you know something it all starts here with threads like this. But at some point the management have to hold their hands and be accountable. People like the other night at the LISA meeting, Trevor, who know they are in the , use attack as there only defence.



There are enough people who love this club who can make this happen and they will when they know what the real truth and how serious it is.



We can carry on as we are but unless something remarkable happens we are on a very slippery slope, we are only a few weeks away from the club closing its doors for good, and that is with the £15K LISA has put in!

All sounding a bit sensationalist and more than a bit wearing to me, personally.

I'm enjoying what your writing so far but lets not go overboard

Yep good response, Leyther Matt



But what else do you do when a business is in as much trouble as Leigh are?



Answer, wait and see what happens?



Yep we can do that, but what happens when it does go bust, with its finances and current cost structure its a certainty then what do you do.



Answer...........It will be reet in three months trust me, were self sufficent just need to carry on treating the fans like , charge them a fortune, then ask them to give me more money, be better when the sun shines and its warm. What a great great plan!

yeah, that'll pack 'em in

Sorry mate but you are way off the mark here.



Firstly there is not a snowball in Hell's chance that you could float a business like this on the public markets.

Secondly any potential investor wants to know what the management team is BEFORE they make the investment.

Thirdly no-one who invests in a Sports Club below the absolute elite does so with the expectation of making a profit so the only potential investor pool is people with an affinity to either Leigh or Rugby League in general.



I could go on with questions as to what capacity do "potential" investors have to implement management changes, who will pay the Interim Management Team whilst the funding is raised, why would management report to a shareholders' meeting etc but there is a match on tonight and by the time I had finished I would miss kick off.



We are in a difficult position due to both internal and external factors and everyone accepts that major changes need to be made but some of the drivel being spouted on here makes me glad I have always avoided the temptation to get officially involved with Leigh RL and if I feel that way then I am sure many others do.



My suggestion - let's all do what we can to generate incremental revenues for the club; alongside this any sensible ideas should be proposed to the existing Board and perhaps they will call a meeting of fans when we are not on the brink of a problem to have a proactive debate on how we move forward.



In the meantime I'm off home for some tea before the match.



COME ON YOU LEYTHERS!!!

Was just a general response to the everpresent doom and gloom on here, though I certainly don't see the club closing it's doors within weeks as you put it.



As it is, I'm missing the game tonight because of work commitments and I must say I don't feel anywhere as bothered about it as I thought I would be. I know it's unfortunately the one thing that as the club can't do a jot about, but there's no doubting whatsoever that there is a widening disillusionment with the game as a whole, and adding in an annual financial crisis doesn't help build enthusiasm. Hope I'm feeling a bit more optimistic by the time of the Barrow game.

I asked this very simple question yesterday, but no takers, so again



What should be the very 1 st part of a sports clubs budget to be allocated every year?

Topless women walking round serving beer. The rest pays for itself.

Insurance! Because without it there will be no sports talking place...



Not what you wanted to hear but a fact!

we.d have no team to market if we cut that part of the budget

Many a true word is said in jest, what you have suggested is absolutely correct
