Just to get everyones thoughts before i try to sort this out with the club.

I think a one minute round of applause to show Arthur that his investment and time at the club is very much appreciated by all the fans of the Leigh Centurions.

Also with the game being on sky any new investors out there would see how passionate the Leigh lot really are.

What does everyone think?

I think it is a great idea.

Spot on

get arthur in the middle of the field and it will be done! get alan rowley up there aswell

Good shout both Arthur & Alan deserve all the applause they get !!!

Both Allan and Arthur deserve the fans gratitude..........and i think its a wonderfull opportunity like you say to show any new investors what a great bunch of people the Leigh fans are!!

Thanks all, i have emailed the club and Andy is going to ask the question but he says it is ultimately Sky's decision to do this.

Superb idea make two minutes

If not do it the week after at the Dewsbury game.

We can do it off our own backs rather than Sky's approval. A huge chant of "there's only one Arthur Thomas" just before kick off would be the order of the day, I reckon.

im up for that matt!! we'll start it off just before KO

Agree totally.
Many sports fans associate a minutes applause with someone who has died so would be more appropriate to thank Arthur with a few decent chants before , during and after the game.

The club are apparently presenting Mr Thomas with a small token of gratitude at the Fax game my suggestion would be to have it at the same time.

The perfect cue, hope it's immediately before kick off, either before the game or at half-time.

Do it on SKY, that way you'll all be able to record it and keep a copy as a memory of your farewell to the pair.

SKY surely won't refuse permission, they'll lap it up - chance of a story to talk about before/during/after the game makes for good TV.

thats a great idea and a very nice farewell, let them do half a lap of honour. from the north to the west tunnel

When were Sky last asked permission for a chant?

Great idea, we should all sing loud and clear.

think he means the presentation! least if we tell sky they can talk about it!

If Terry O'Connor can be persuaded to shut up about Widnes and 'form' teams such as Sheffield for 60 seconds!

I very much doubt that........





Great idea about us showing our appreciation to AT and AR.

Would it not be wise to let the dust settle and lets see what kind of financial state the club has actually been left in before lauding the achievements of messers Thomas and Rowley???

The club hopefully wont follow suit and go the same way as the other buisness intrests of AT fingers crossed.

Im not having a go and have no inside knowledge of the workings of the club but it seems its a very uncertain future now the Chairman and CEO have walked so why should we be singing and chanting without any knowledge of what they have actually walked away from????

It was said that AT had left the club without any debt, and i believe them.

By who Alan Rowley??? who himself has a track record for leaving a club that is in debt himself and has now left the club.

Im not convinced and it will take more than the odd smoke screen press release to convince me and im sure many others.

We can only go off what we are told leythkeith, till we are told any differant, you are entitled to your opinion though.
