No BUT you have to admit WYSIWIG only post to antagonise people and I can understand Andy's reply after all Andy is doing us all a favour keeping us informed and I can't see a problem with that and I don't know why anybody does . I would just like to see a positive post coming from him (W) for once as there are lots of positives at the moment but I dare say pigs will fly first .I don't mind people having their opinions but to constantly read his sniping at the club or those involved is now quite boring and I just wonder why he needs to do this as he can put his point across much better .

| Some people need an audience for their perceived annoyance and they like it even better when they get a response, when they draw a response from a board member it doesn't get any better. I read WYSIWYG for entertainment but take what he says with a pinch of salt.

Quite correct and your way is the best way IMO and 99% of the time I follow your code.
I let my passion get the better of me at times so I do apologise to any of our fans who may have been offended by my comments and once again just highlight these are my comments as a fan of the club on a MB and not the views of Leigh Centurions.
Cheers
Andy

| One minute your mob and the next minute your not make your mind up, i am struggling to get my head round your comments i find them very worrying, its not a very good example to promote new fans.
I was ready to make the two and a half hour journey today but im having second thoughts, with comments like that you will lose old supporters like myself and will not gain new ones.
Please get a grip and think about what your saying.

Exactly my point, there are hundreds of posters coming on here and reading a member of the board arguing and calling a fan a bitter and twisted fool.
I will repeat again, that certainly is not a positive for the club.
Good luck tonight though Leigh, I will be tuning in for what should be a great game and hopefully a good win for you Leythers.

Excuse me?
Can I just clarify this please, my personal opinions and reaction in relation to one plainly bitter and twisted (former supporter) person with not a single good word to say about the club or anything associated to it that the rest of us all love is threatening to stop you from going to watch the game tonight?
Right Ok, that's a new one in the book of reasons why I don't watch Leigh anymore I suppose.
Everyone who knows me personally and the new BOD members know what we are about and how much respect we have for the genuine fans of Leigh like yourself and 99% of others on here however if im worrying you I best stay off here going forward then
Cheers
Andy

Worried you obviously don't get up much then pal.
I for one am happy we have a BOD that want to communicate with the fans and while Andy will know himself he needs to not let his passion get the better of him and not to rise to some of the MB numpties he generally does a fantastic job of giving us fans an honest and accurate update on the clubs affairs and puts to bed some of the malicious gossip that takes place on here.
My name on here is concerned leyther this is because when I signed up I was concerned that tweedle dumb and tweedle dee (freer and Barton) were taking this club to the wall, Thanks to Andy Mazey and Co we have a club to support and if what I've heard from reliable sources is true had they not stepped in and indeed Derek B had not signed a cheque to bail out Freer and Co with the players we wouldn't be looking forward to a semi final tonight nor a bright future so please Andy try and not bite with these clowns on here and continue your great work and please thank all your fellow BOD members for giving the loyal and genuine leythers hope.

Andy on Sunday against York , was the first time I have met you , I must admit when you first started posting on this Forum , before the said new BOM , I was a bit suspect about you , but now all I can say is how wrong I was , don't let anybody put you off posting on here , I would say 90% of posters support and applaud you , as I do I have faith in you all , but keep on posting also .

Really ? You was ready to make a 2 and a half a hour trip but your now having second thoughts because of what you read on here.
Of course you was and then it started raining eh old pal so not to bother and then maybe if we was in Super League, you would of ventured over but only if it was a Super League play off mind.
By eck, as a passionate long Leigh supporter for decades I am not going to let what I read on here from WYSIWYG, Andy Mazey, Demon, Alan, Charlie, Derek Beaumont or anyone put me off watching my Leigh Rugby team.
I I tell you what I heard a barrel full of excuses for not watching Leigh in my life time but this one is a reet pearler !
I know this goes against the grain for most of you lot, but I'm now going to sign off and go to the match and passionately cheer on as loud as I possibly can at my age, all our boy's wearing our towns proud shirt tonight
Bl00dy hell !!

| You can think what you like, i bet you wouldnt do a 5 hour round trip week in week out my old pal, i have my opinion but from my experience on this forum if you dont agree with the majority then it bully tactics.
I will always support leigh, and no i havnt gone today.
I dont make excuses just say how i feel.

| Well u missed a bl00dy cracker!
Yes we had TOm SPencer playing but he played brilliantly , he was 2nd to Ryan as motm imho.
All the lads played well.
As for Andy , ihes not the only board member to post on here past or present.
It is an independent board. Nothing to do with the Club.

| Quote ="SRW1996"Good on him and hopefully once we take away his excuses he will return and see that we have the right intentions and real ambition for the club and we share the same passion we just express it in different ways.
If he wants to shake hands and collect a ticket FOC from me tonight he's welcome to drop me a PM I suspect it will be a team full of leythers and leigh players so with cheaper tickets and no Wigan lads how about it fella????.
We want all fans in that stadium behind our boys new or old at the end of the day as a club.
My views are not the views of Leigh Centurions they are my own.'"
I posted controversial messages on here to show you how banter can escalate and hopefully I have done you a favour. As the chairperson of Leigh RLFC, you now represent the town and the club and you need to step back from posting on the MB. What are you going to do if players start posting and slagging MB posters off on this board? Steve Maden and Paul Rowley have had a fair amount of unfair criticism on this board recently. How can you reprimand them if they came on here and started calling posters "bitter and twisted fools" You have set a precedent that players may want to follow, thankfully they are too professional for that.
Like me, you are a passionate fan, but you really do have to step back now. It is good that Leigh want to communicate more but do it via the proper channels. Have a regular Q&A on twitter, or on the MB, for example but do it professionally. You need to welcome back disillusioned fans because they are disillusioned for a reason. Mine is the Wiggin twinning agreement and my passion for Leigh can never never accept it, because for me it is tribal and always will be.
As a passionate fan you have got the dream position, we would all love it, but with that position comes a lot of responsibility because you are the figurehead of Leigh RLFC and the town.
Re: Steve Maden, I think he has been one of the most improved players over the last two years in the Leigh squad. He is as safe as houses under the high ball now and takes the ball in hard, helping to take some of the work from his forwards. Congrats on your 200 appearance last night. Hope there are many more.
Re: Paul Rowley. You wouldn't meet a nicer young bloke and he is Leigh through and through. He is a young coach quietly learning his trade and he will be successful because he is a winner. I will never forget when we played Wigan in SL away and we had a squad of travellers who didn't know the meaning of a derby game with the enemy. Paul Rowley was the only player fired up and he wasn't half blasting the rest of the team behind the sticks as Wiggin stuffed us. Congrats on getting Leigh to the final Paul. Really pleased for you and the team of registered Leigh players.
DISCLAIMER
WYSIWYG does not take responsibility for the above remarks. They are the remarks of a bitter twisted fool. Now I'm off for a pint of Wobbly Bob's :O)
