I'm sure that if anyone could offer to collect lifeline for free, sell programmes for free, steward for free, wash kits for free, play for free, canvas for the lottery for free then it will all help reduce costs or increase income for the club.

in that spirit maybe the LSV will let us play there for free!

Mo - I've sent you a PM.

That could be a good idea,at least to the end of the season.

With a ceremonial flyover of pigs after the last game, John

I know mate

,just clutching at straws now.

Exactly Michael. Some of the possible roles I was thinking about - but without wishing to knock anybody who does these jobs and gets paid. I must also stress that my the posts for financial/working help are NOT knocking those who 'just' pay to watch/buy programmes/are Lottery membres/buy draw tickets, etc. To those people, obviously your continued help is also esential.

Leigh shouldn't be a charity, costs will happen, silly costs must be removed, costs generating profits should be encouraged, volunteers taking away costs encouraged.
Some simple thoughts here, if everyone paid their lottery by DD how much more would generate?
If a laundry offered to wash kit for free, how much would that save?
If either the above happened would it make us better or worse off?

Many hands make the deficit go away, few hands carry big weight.

I think its time for a group effort from us all, LISA and the corporate club are already up and running and if fans could donate something to either of these then thats gonna really help.
I suggest that both organisations raise £60000 each and that should ensure the futue of the club up to the end of next season at the very least.
I will speak with the new ceo when its sorted out and arrange a meeting to see how we can help the club.

There is bound to be a lot of nonsense spouted about this but it looks to me as if Leigh have been hit with something rather unforseeable and are very unfortunate to be in this position after what has been a fantastic start to the season for them.

I sincerely hope you overcome these issues. I don't like any club going to the wall especially a local outfit who have always given the sport a lot. It's a shame that the deal with the LSV was so unsuitable from what I gather and it would be nice if the powers that be would be more lenient under the circumstances.

I think we should divide into two groups, New Widnes fans and New Wigan fans, we'd have Super League rugby next year and isnt really that far from our doorsteps. Whos in?

How much does LISA currently generate linda?.

Anyone asked the question yet as to why this has been allowed to happen. The club seems to have been run yet again badly. We the fans deserve the answer if we are being asked to provide more.

Pass

For the hundredth time on this board this has happened because our chairmans businesses have collapsed.

Only as long as we can sit in the away end.

No mate, the question is why has the club been allowed to be financed by an individual, because look what happens when it stops

Its about extra income, partnership and learning from mistakes.

When the announcement takes place it will provide a great opportunity to at long last get things in place to realise our potential, the LSV agreement again being the top of the list followed by club structures and financial obligations to meet defecits.

I hope LISA and an other can put up £60k each, but the shareholders must each match that, unless you are saying the fans fully fund the club and take 100% ownership?

LISA should get to £35k again quite easily and use that as its members decide, CC can do whatever they do, the other group will have £25k pa min to use as they also decide. If we have a community partnership then £25k pa minimum investments should be the pre req to be a shareholder/director - I am with that 100%. If one group cannot continue the investment then the gap is manageable without the chaos of the past 2 weeks. Transparency is guaranteed, fans are treated as stakeholders by culture and we shut up the bar stool geniuses.

What we have isnt a solution its a stop gap, as I understand it.

This is what happens when you leave your computer internet logged on at work.

The fans taking 100% surely couldnt work if we were promoted to Super League

They must have come on looking for the link for 'Le Private' on the Toulouse thread

and we had no infrastructure behind his cash, his decision.

Opportunities and risks, evaluate learn and do better - 'If you always do what you always did, you will always get what you always got'. We have a 4 year crisis cycle built around bad management and ridiculous financial planning - lets grab this opportunity and change that.

The thing you quoted above is alright, however if a party were to get a stakehold in the club for their money , why cant all parties who commit money get that?
Surely If you say a community partership with min investment of £25000, were to get a stakholding then surely so should as LISA and the corporate club members for theirs?

I dont know why shouldn't/couldn't they get that? LISA may have 400 members to commit to the £25k, if they vote for it go for it - if the club dont want you as part of it then hold the money in the bank as thats what your members want to spend it on. Who says we should have one 'group' of passionate fans, I am sure if we had 4 groups each putting in the £25k every year together with 6 individual business/fans we would have a vibrant club run properly by capable people.

The long term solutions are to share the burden, get clear direction and unity behind a common goal. What any body gets or otherwise will depend on what happens next - that will be the key to our future success.

i dont know who to contact to pledge funds who can help me ?
Also i can print shirts with and all other manner of items ie cups and car window logos etc and get badges made.
i will only charge the cost of the goodsmaterials and the rest will go to the club.
obviousley they will be sold through the club shop and can be picked up there and paid for there if needed
