Robs a top bloke and as always come across as friendly whenever I've talked with him he's doing a great job for the club trying and succeeding in bringing much need cash into the Club which these days is pretty dam hard getting company's ect to part with cash..

From a fans point of view I agree, he is doing a great job, but he has put me off doing any sponsorship, but that won't stop me watching the club I love and I hope he carries on bringing in big sponsors

I'd urge you to reconsider opinion of Rob - it is my experience that he has been a delight to work with, and whilst he is extremely busy and under a lot of pressure he almost always has time for a quick chat, or just an acknowledgement when it's appropriate. I've never seen him treat anybody any other way and I don't understand why he would have treated you in any way disrespectfully on purpose.

I reckon Deano's mrs has told him to reign in the big spending!

A 'couple of years ago' I bumped into John Duffy outside the LSV. and whilst I spoke to him, he just stared into his mobile phone, reading texts etc....not really interested in what I had to say.
Never mentioned it before, not worth it....but to meet 'someone once' and to form an opinion, then put it on the internet....Guess it's just human nature.
Never met Rob Parker, but if Mr. Chairman says he's a 'top bloke' then that'll do for me. As for John Duffy, I still bought one of his 'testimonial t shirts'.....the ignorant git......!

I have to say that that is completely out of character for John and I'm sure he would have had something ulta important that was bothering him to do that. You could not want to meet a nicer person than John and if he read that he would be gutted. Honestly John is one of the finest gents that I have had the pleasure to meet. Cuff him rownt thearoll when tha seez him.

Anyway, the pitch.....Sheffield already off, Fax will be told by their footballing overlords that they're off, how is ours holding up?

Pitch ull bi reet. It's the best playing surface this side of the Yemen river.

Pitch looking great should be a good game

On my way down from Edinburgh for the game so relying on others for weather reports.

I absolutely cannot wait for tomorrow. I feel like I'm eight years old again and it's Christmas Eve or the day before we go to Rhyl. Buzzin.

Is there a need for a pitch inspection or (as mentioned by a few) is the pitch in good nick ?
Seen a lot of football called off of late due to monsoon conditions and hurricane style winds so hoping the RL season can start as the Pitch doesn't need to be in as good a state as it does for football.

LSV will never call a game off because of rain. The drainage is the same system as Wembley and The Emirates. We need a tsunami before they would call a game off!

Apart from the one a couple of weeks ago.

I Don't believe he would ignore ignore you on purpose. Rob's either in meetings or working hard 7 days a week raising for money for OUR Club maybe his mind was else where strategizing how to strengthen Our Club?

Apparently they wanted to preserve the surface for the blackburn game. With it being a friendly the rugby was sacrificed. Good decision.

Just come from the LSV can't say I could see much of the pitch in the dark but it's dry and should give the pitch chance to dry out a bit more, let's hope the weather holds up for tomorrow.

Does anyone know what state the pitch is in?

All I need to know is the game is on!!!

So therefore our match was still sacrificed/called off because of the rain then.

Well me, you & Rob witnessed the pitch yesterday so I've got a idea the game will go ahead

I know Rowls did say on Centurions TV weather permitting but I think that was only if the continious rain at the time carried on but fortunately the rain's held off & the game is on roll on 3pm

Life's a pitch.

I forgot to mention I met a lovely young lad (I don't want to say his name as it's not really my place to say) at the training session who is suffering from a brain tumour. The lad was presented with a huge Hilton Park artists photo frame & he was proper made up & I think I've got a new buddy in the north stand now. This is what Leigh Centurions RLFC is all about we're a family club, everyone is welcome & is a part of this 'OUR' Club
