No worries mish . . . . i just logged in to twitter for updates till the technical diffs are fixed

I'm not sure we're going to get on TBH we have gremlins.

The last fans forum radio reception was chrystal clear. In fact I was amazed at how good it was. You win some, You lose some I suppose.

Some people must think this service budget is akin to BBC Radio 5 live's outside broadcast budget.

Why anyone would want to listen to Man United is beyond me anyway.

i would prob check the volume on the comp itself and then try shut down restart........................ or if that fails find an open window lol

There just aint pleasing some folk is there..

I heard bits of the opening comments about the survey, it was interupted by music continuously. Rowls is on his feet talking through the squad, pity it keep disappearing to music.

We're really disappointed because we like to be prepared but we can't even test it now because those who are speaking won't take a break until we finish.

I'm surprised you can hear anything to be honest, but every time you hear the music is when our connection drops out.

We really need to get this internet connection at the LSV sorted.

After what everyone told me about the radio, thought I would give it a try. Oh well never mind can't win em all.

Can anyone tell me if the forum is being recorded to catch up with at a later date?

It's the first one we haven't been able to broadcast and unfortunately the circumstances are beyond our control - however the Forum is being videod and will be available to view either tonight or probably tomorrow.

Any news on matin aspinwall???

Yes Martin Aspinwall is our player and apparently there was never any doubt in the board or Rowleys mind that he would be our player once he'd signed.

On the Leighlife page but can't find the link for tonights meeting, anyone able to direct me (having one of those days !).

If its a no go due to problems at the LSV is there any chance someone can knock up some small bullet point headers of whats was discussed after the events finished later on (I realise its being videod by Fred but won't be able to watch that for a while).

We'll we've finally sorted it now that it's nearly finished so if you want to listen to the last bit you can listen in on your player: radio.leighlife.com/live.m3u

Thanks for that

A very positive meeting. I would say the headline would be that financially the club made a loss this year (less than £20,000 was mentioned by Keith Freer, who did add that in the previous two years we'd lost £250,000 and £300,000 respectively) and that next season's "break even" figure is an average attendance of 1,700.

Northern Rail Cup confirmed as group stages for Championship One clubs initially with the 14 Championship clubs entering at the knock out stage (didn't hear how many C1 sides would actually qualify though unless it's as simple as two qualify to make a 'last 16'?).

No more first team signings apart from the 4 dual reg players that we're looking to bring in - given the tie ups elsewhere, these are going to be from Wigan but it will be Leigh who choose the players and want somebody like Spencer who will be involved with Leigh more often than not and also buy in to the ethos of the team and the club. 18 players signed up for the U23's which will be supplemented by players not used in the first team and, if short on numbers, bringing in a player or two on loan from Wigan, although the RFL currently have no idea how many U23 sides will actually be operating.

Also a dashing young chap won the raffle.

Hope that's helpful to those who had issues listening to the broadcast.

Its as simple as you state, the NR Cup that is. Plus RLfans is cack at the moment as this should have been in last post

Cheers for that Matt but who have we signed up for next season.

One thing that did cross my mind is if they somehow seed the draw - good for avoiding Featherstone, less good if we're wanting Halifax to do us a favour and knock Fev out on our behalf




23 names (I think) were mentioned by Rowls.

Brierley, McNally, Littler, Gardner, Higson, Pownall, Maden, Ridyard, Beswick, Penkywicz, Nicholson, Coyle, Finnegan, Taylor, Goulden, Ryan Duffy, Ostick, Parker, Briscoe, Rowe and others who I can't remember

Cheers for that Matt,
The big push should now start for hitting the 1,700 which should be easily achievable with a club of our size.
On that note though was there any mention of Fri night fixtures ?

PS :
I presume 'dashing young chap' now means something else these days or else you could be done by the trade descriptions act


Have you donated you raffle winnings to the Jambos cause ?

A very positive meeting, and like trev said, just think were we where at this time last last year, it reakky is a credit to ALL involved at the club. Also trev said to me after meeting, we has requested the majority of game to be played on a sunday, but will have to see what the rfl fixtures planners come back with, 75% of people cant be wrong.

And Hopkins and Thornley and Aspinwall and somebody whose name began with an S I think.

Hi Guys, just felt I should nip on and apologise for the radio failure tonight.

There's nothing worse than sitting there with everything going wrong and knowing there's people out there just waiting to listen. Unfortunately nothing we tried would work, it looks to me now like the intermittent connection crashed part of the server software, once I realised that we could publish an alternative link to connect but sad to say it was a little late.

Fred will be posting his video soon so not all is lost but I am sorry to those who were disappointed by our failure, I assure you that you weren’t as disappointed as we were.

Bit low on numbers in the pack. Apart from hooker we only have Finnegan, Taylor, Goulden, Ryan Duffy, Ostick, Parker, Briscoe, Rowe.
(Duffy & Rowe are untried at this level)



Oh forgot ..... Hopkins. Did he mention Thornley? Plus 2 pies (1 hopefully Spencer).
