Fantastic news. I'm so glad that Trevor is back on board and that the new community group is now officially part of the club.

Another great signing for us - welcome back Trevor.

Totally agree Mish he is back where he belongs, welcome back Trevor !!!!

Great news welcome on board Trevor onward and upwards

Our future is about inclusive not exclusive, Trevor has skills that add to the board and has financially committed in the same way as the rest
Welcome back Trevor, the burden is spread far more and I know you will not only strengthen the team but enjoy the journey as well

Neil

That's even better news Neil.





What a great team we now have to lead us forward in our efforts to get where we want to be. Well done to you all.

Glad to hear it. Welcome back Trevor.

Great news , welcome back Trevor.

What is the Community Group? What is it set up to do? I keep hearing it mentioned but have not seen anything it does.

You really need to follow them on Twitter to see all the work they've been doing. For example, they've been running summer camps all around the area over the summer holidays: https://twitter.com/LeighFoundation Quite a lot of the players have been involved in the camps too. This is their website: leighccf.org/

Hear Hear welcome back Trevor

The first full meeting of the new Leigh Board of Directors caught on camera

Is board of 'management' just a snazzy name for the traditional board of directors? Don't recall coming across the phrase when I did company law.

Glad to see they are mostly 'flat cappers'!

Indeed Alan if our board helped build the empire state building then we can building anything 'we can build the impossible dream'

I dunno about that, I'm not sure that beam could hold the combined weight of our BOM.

It was the Rockefeller actually, but never mind.

In a word yes.

My bad around the same block but different building still a mean feat mind

Had the pleasure of working with Trevor, John Duffy and Stuart Littler since we formed the BOM helping the Foundation were I could so delighted Trevor accepted the invitation to join the Board and represent such a crucial ingredient to the clubs future success.

Welcome back Trevor.

I read about the appointment of Trevor Barton on the Club's site today. I had an open mind, he is not the most popular person I know and his appointment to the BOM has taken one scalp for sure, for former Chairman, and Honary Life Member Brian Bowman has severed all connections with the Club following this news with immediate affect. He has apparently informed members of the BOM today of his decision. This becomes a sad day rather than a day of celebration.

I was with Brian, Marrion his good lady wife and John Massey at Batley last night though Trevor was never mentioned so I don't know if this is something that may have happened today.

I don't know Brian feelings on Trevor nor am I aware of any previous issues or problems before my time either and I've taken everyone I've met at face value and genuinely have gotten on with everyone Trevor included since working with him.

One thing I will say is though here and now Brian is one of the nicest gentlemen I've had the pleasure to meet and I have nothing but admiration and respect for him for what he has done for our club and I will certainly endeavour to look into this and if true do anything possible to rectify it.

I've not been contacted or made aware of this but if true I am deeply saddened by this.

Andy

Sad if this news about Brian is true. I have enormous respect for both guys. Here's hoping that, for the 'greater good' a way can be found to include both these people, in the way forward.

I hope this can be put to bed, we as a club are not big enough for division. I don't have to like all my fellow fans to support my club, I don't find the need to stop supporting it because ones I dislike do also. I hope we can avoid the Labour Club Committee squabbles, if we have people putting time and money into my club then I applaud them and if Brian wants to join the BoM and commit his funds and skills then I am sure he will be welcomed also.
Rethink Brian, life's too short

Yes welcome on board Trevor it looks like what goes round comes round Trevor invited john roddy to join the psg. Now John has returned the favour
It will be interesting to see how this works out Trevor on the board sure to ruffle a few feathers
Brian never got on from Trevor from day 1
If this board do what Brian did for this club they will all end up with a MBE
