I have just started a new job and met the Sponsorship Director today i asked him would he be interested in sponsoring the Club he said unfortunately not but at least i tried, if everyone on here tried this maybe one would be lucky?

I don't think Richard Branson would be up for it!

Back in 2001 he very nearly was when the London Broncos nearly moved into Hilton Park!! If only that would of come off!!

I'll have a word. If he says no, i'll get him in a headlock and give him a nuggy.

Do it haha

Never mind Leigh, can you not get us some free first class upgrades on our tickets down to Wembley for the internationals???

isnt basils dad minted ????

If you're on the same train as me, yes.

I just realised thanks to Twitter I have some good contacts! Lord Sugar, Donald Trump, Richard Branson, the dragons off Dragons Den! Worth a punt?



I might even ask Stanky if he still fancies a job?

I work for the Co-op and askeda similar thing a while ago. Obviously they sponsor the leagues and elsewhere but I was at an event with a few sponsorship people and enquired that since their sponsorship of the Scottish League Cup was ending did they have any intentions to further deepen their Rugby League relationships?

The answer?

"No. We are looking for a larger marketing and sponsorship presence in the south."

<sigh>

By 'the south' they may have only meant 'south of Scotland', so we may still have a chance

On a similar Vein to this thread , does anybody know of businesses in Leigh owned by Leythers that employ more than 20 employees ?

The only one I managed to come up with was Waterfields

Any more ?

Possibly a couple of window companies?.

Can't think of any others off the top of my head.

My fiancee works for Waterfields and she got a nice letter yesterday saying there'd be no pay rise as basically they're losing money hand over fist so thats not an option unfortunately.

Who owns The Bridgewater business park? Might be worth a punt.

Emirates Airlines! All it took was an e-mail from Mike Callaghan to the CEO (a Leyther) and we got major sponsorship for our Superleague season. Surely someone at the club still has his e-mail address, they could bring him up to speed with our plight.

Pataks? Although i'm fairly sure they've been asked before?

Pretty sure Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum is not a Leyther

One of their directors was though! I think I heard he had moved on though, but may be wong

He used to run an off licence off Leigh Road.



I meant Sir Maurice Flanagan Executive Vice Chairman.

One of his staff is. M family used to look after an old man and his son used to work for a company as one of his head architechts, in fact I think there's two of them.

we have got Asda,Tesco,Sainsburys and Morrisons,multi million pound companies all in one mile radius it would be very nice just for one of these companies to come out and offer the club some financial support and give something to the local community as 2000 leythers doing their shopping in their supermarket would be a financial insentive for them,certainly would get my custom.

mine too

A definate sponser , would be ready andwaiting , but what is needed is ideas and more ideas to put forward ,once they have been polled as popular by Jonny , then thiscan be scanned and assesed as to the most sincere proposals then the said applicants and said sponserscan get together and find a solution .

To me this is fluent nonsense , but then all nonsense is the same , isnt it?I feel ideasare to think up but harder to acclimatise to , Waterfields make very good pies

but others are trying to under mine them Blackpool has theTOWER CIRCUS , im going back to see what can be done .
