If the LSV have said we can't play Sunday because there's a small function on then it's the LSV. We've done it before and we can do it again.

If the reason is that the LSV have chosen to allow Swinton to play on the Sunday rather than us, then just say so.

If the reason is that the club don't want to play when there's a function on because they won't be able to use the big room, thus losing valuable revenue on corporate tickets, then why not just say so? It's a perfectly valid reason.

I'm just not sure who's pulling who's strings that's all.

Bit strong don't you think? Not to mention OTT.

Nobody has officially made any comment other than Fevs CEO as far as I'm aware and certainly not Leigh Centurions or LSV.

Your making statements without knowing the facts, I will gladly enlighten you as a trusted former colleague on the communications team but not on a public forum.

I can put your mind at rest nobody is pulling anyones strings, people are working together on matters to make things work for all parties in a sensible business like manner.

We will make our official statements when the time is right and via the correct professional channels.

Im honestly am perplexed by this thread and the compete over reaction to a potential one off possible change of day from a Sunday to a Friday night which is still neither denied or confirmed officially by any of the parties concerned.

Suppose it shows how well we must be doing as a club if this is one of the major bones of contention



Catch up soon and don't be sending me death threats on twitter lol

Cheers

Andy

If he player s and coach want Friday night and or the directors do to because theysell more corporate and don't mind having a reduced gate then so be it , screw Fev it's our home tie our decision .
I don't think it would give us any advantage although I can't see why Fev are making such a fuss , we've had to go there enough times for an evening game. .........
It s not the idea of the club wanting Friday, what people can't except is The LSV putting a function on in the middle of the season when a challenge cup round is on the fixtures list, it's not very good of them is it, saying the club one of its partners that's all - no ones having a go at the club here.........
Although I'm looking forward to the tie no matter what day we play it on !

I too am surprised at the number of people who have read and contributed to this thread. Maybe the reason is that the day we play our home games is a highly sensitive issue among our supporters? Unfortunately, the club/LSV is never going to be able to please everyone on this issue.

I'm sure the club will make an announcement about the date of the fixture, and the rationale behind that date, when it has been agreed with Featherstone, Swinton, Keighley, the RFL and LSV - all of whom are 'interested' parties.

Meanwhile, if just half of the 7,700 plus who have so far read this thread, were to turn up at our home games.......

Indeed

100 or so of us saddos is not our true fan base lol

You're right, it was a bit strong and I apologise if it came across as a personal attack.

However I am concerned that the 'we can't play this game on this day because the LSV has an event' excuse is becoming a regular occurrence during CC and play off games. How on earth are we going to overcome this problem when we get into SL and have to play on different days? I can't imagine the RFL or other SL clubs pandering to the business whims of the LSV. I thought the strapline 'we are all in this together' included the LSV as well.

Good Grief, give Andy a break...... "Mountain out of a mole hill" springs to mind.

Lets put this thread to bed our preferred day is Sunday, we are allegedly senior partner, play Sunday. If there is a function that gets in the way move it because it shouldn't have been booked in the first place.


You can close the thread now and open another when there is an announcement of an announcement.

Have to admit I assumed that was the case, you would have freedom to arrange it at a time to suit you as long as it was over the alloted weekend. No idea what objections we(fev) have put forward but the competition rules, unusually for RL, are pretty clear. Unless the tie is televised or involves a French team it will take place on the Sunday unless mutually agreed. If no date can be mutually agreed the rfl board will rule.

I'm not having a go at Andy, I was just questioning the relationship between the LSV and the club. I was under the mistaken impression that this was a forum and such 'discussions' were allowed.

I'm not demanding answers to any of my questions and if Andy decides to respond (or not), that's his prerogative. The title of the thread is 'Looks like it's Friday night' and my queries are all relevant to the topic.

He's already said that announcements will be made when the deal is done and that's good enough for me but that doesn't mean I can't raise the issue of the relationship with the LSV or any other matter I choose to ask questions about.

When did this forum become part of the Leigh Centurions official social media portfolio?

Fortunately it's not! Lol

yes Mish , indeed thats actually what i said too, and as for the last bit as Ive stated on numerous times previously, this is an UNOFFICAL forum and everyone is entitled to an opinion, as long as they post within the forum rules , personnel insults etc are not allowed .

and.............................







17 pages later result =we still dont know when we are playing!!!!

Should know by 17.00hrs

Hello.. Reality check needed
I thought all the club hype at the moment was the fact that we might actually get back into super league, which i believe is everyone's dream / objective.
So what are we going to do then, 17 web pages to discuss and debate EVERY time game is switched from Sunday to ...Thursday, Saturday or even back to Monday.
Come on get a Grip is it really such a big issue.....

No it isn't.

Whenever it is played there will be those who can't go for various reasons.

You have missed the point, it isn't about when we play it is about whether the LSV is the club fixture secretary. Prioritising an antiques fair rather than a Challenge Cup Game in a sports complex is total nonsense.

Anyone go to this game ? www.youtube.com/watch?v=cB4sXPGsgz0

Do you know for a fact that the LSV have said we can not play it on Sunday at 3pm?

Have the club officially announced it can not be played at 3pm Sunday because functions have been booked by LSV?

How do we know the hold up is not because the club preferred it to be on a Friday night for no other reason than this was their choice?

Featherstone have kept their fans up to date in all fairness. Our club have not and as far as I am aware have not stated what the delay was officially and what their preference for this fixture would have been.

As I posted way back on this thread, I believe the club wanted it on Friday night no matter what.

I'd say the club have done exactly right and have waited to announce anything officially - even Fev haven't actually announced anything, and it has only been their CEO posting something on Twitter, which to me has been something akin to doing dirty laundry in public.
