Can I just add (sorry to go on) whatever the structure next year Leigh Centurions will be strong and Derek Beaumont and Paul are convinced the style of RL we will play will be well worth the price of a season ticket alone. Please back us and back Paul and the lads by buying a ST and don't forget if you can't get to every game there are a few different options including a five match ticket that comes complete with other benefits. For the fan in a position to financially do more the revamped Touchdown Club really represents value for money also. Check out the options at www.leighcenturions.co.uk and click 2014 season ticket details to download the season ticket information sheet. PS for any business people or anyone with a few quid burning a hole in your pocket the sponsorship deals and options available for 2014 are in my opinion from a sponsers perspective are fantastic and great value so if interested get in touch with Rob Parker for a corporate brochure. Cheers Andy

Who knows what the RFL and the SL clubs will do , but the current situations at Bradford and LOndon could make it even harder to sort out what is one big mess.

Personally we have to be ready in case the opportunity comes our way sooner then inticpated IMHO

Depends how you look at it could make it easier to resolve with SL clubs if two go out of business and I'm not convinced Bradford will be the last to come clean.

Your right though Lynda what happens is out of our control so as a club we work hard and build regardless and be ready to do the very best we can and be the best we can whatever the format or structure.

For what it's worth my personal view tips the new structure will be ratified and will happen for the greater good of the game and we as a club are ready for the challenge but need the whole town and community united and behind us.

One thing I can assure Leythers we've never been in a better position to capitalise on changes whatever they may be and never been as well respected at the RFL and have some great dialogue going on behind the scenes.

You can see with the respective champioship clubs signings for next season it's a massive campaign for all in 2014 & it should be a cracker for the fans the watch. The board have backed OUR club massively with their own time & finances & it's clear to see with the health of OUR club is in now & the squad that's been assembled. Last season we lacked strength in depth, physical size in the forwards & lack of pace in the backs although the latter I don't think we were exploited there as much as we have done in previous seasons. Now we've got a bigger squad, bigger forwards & some pacey backs signed so building on last season things are looking great both on & off field. If you want a successful Leigh Centurions then get behind the team/club & show them the support they deserve as arm chair supporters are not going to help us progress as a club. Something special is happening with OUR club so get behind the team & see us progress together if you don't you may just regret what you've missed.

Please lay off with the cheap shots like that in my direction Demon. You know I have been fully behind the lads having been a ST holder all my adult life. In fact the number of games I have missed in the past decade I can probably count on one hand.

I have already purchased my new shirt and pledged money towards this message boards 2014 player sponsorship so keep your punches up. Support runs far deeper than actually being there in the stadium.

Unfortunately I have ever demanding work and family commitments and given that I am not enjoying half the games as it now stand, it is becoming more difficult to justify it each and every match. A brand new meaningful structure for me is coming in at just about the right time, to give me and others a renewed impetus and increased optimism. It also motivates me to continue to keep justifying it all. It really is down to personal choices I am afraid and not about funding the team.

As an aside after working 6 days solid this week, including an over night stay in Scotland I am just about to take my family out for a nice meal in Southport this afternoon with not seeing much of them recently.

It would not have gone down well to tell my misses I am instead going to Leigh v Hunslet today at the LSV with the lads

It might do if you invite her down to LSV to watch Leigh v Hunslet, as well!

People have intimated the same as me above but in a slightly subtler way. I am entitled an opinion as are you. Put simply as someone put above, too many armchair fans does not help a club grow. Wasn't a cheap shot just an opinion.

I travel 50 miles each way to work 5 days a week, managed to make a couple of thursday games but not all. I also get a ST because I know at this level despite the relative increase in funds from the board, it is still the likes of me and you to help all we can. Picking and choosing games is not a way to keep a club going, IMO of course.

SRW intimated the same but did try and sell it to you.

When will people realise that all this patronising rubbish does nothing but put people off going back? Seriously it is pathetic.

By the way, on my way back home this afternoon it was nice to see a nice big sign advertising the club on Warrington Road, good work.

Thankfully this board has a fairly limited Patronage, I know my own posts can and have cause d upset among some more ' focused ' supporters and it is sometimes easy to let emotion get in the way of debate, one thing that should be avoided if at all possible is ' emotional blackmail ' it is very counter productive, you cannot tell anybody what they should or shouldnt ' feel ' , everybodys experience is different, we all value things differently

This season is looking interesting, and it is good to see a declaration of intent with regards ' good ' rugby, hopefully the discussions between the power brokers in the sport will happen soon and a clearer path for the future will be there for all to see

Thats you view of my opinion. The offer still stands for lifts to or from warrington when I have space.

Appeasing old fans should be low on the boards agenda simply because you can't do it, creating a buzz around being part of something great again should be motivation enough for fans of our club be they current past or future- and boy am I looking forward to the pre season as the hors d'oeuvres for the feast ahead

Should be an interesting few week s waiting to hear what will happen .
As for us we can only be the best we can be at the level we are at and hope that changes are brought in that will reward clubs that are doing well .

My opinion is the matter of dumping licenscing needs to be made well before Christmas.

Licenscing has led to a reduction in every clubs average gates apart from surprisingly Fev since its' introduction.

Every club knows that.

I dont think the ending of licencing is the issue for discussion frank, it seems both parties are fairly agreed on that, it is what replaces it, and who makes the decisions from then on that is the point to be sorted

Well I listened to Derek Beaumont at the last LISA meeting and he seemed pretty confident about what would happen.

After my intensive questioning he has convinced me too.

Thanks, much appreciated. My issue is that by having a go at people it just puts them off going back. A mate of mine packed in shortly after the move to the LSV, for various reasons. Last December he was in the market buying the new shirt and said he hadn't been in ages and was considering trying again in the new year. The old bloke behind him gave him a lecture, as a result he said forget it then. Counter productive.

For anyone thinking of getting a season ticket remember there is the added bonus of being able to watch Leigh's u23's matches for free, receive a under 16's season ticket for free & watch Blackburn Rovers reserves for free also.

Wasn't me I would have patted him on the back.

He said an old bloke, so definitely couldn't have been you!

Yeh you are right. I should have read all of your post I missed an adjective.

Is the Rovers offer just for the U16s?

A Leigh Centurions season ticket holder of any age can watch Blackburn reserves for free. I watched Man United play at LSV for nowt last monday which was a good game & tomorrow evening I'll be watching United's u19's at LSV v Shakhtar Donetsk for free courtesy of being a Leigh season ticket holder

Can I just thank all those who have taken the plunge with us so far and for those about to do so

Something I have always stated and believe without question is that a sports club exists for its fans, without them there is no point continuing so please keep talking the club up and encourage all fans past and present to get behind what is unfolding, because that rolling snowball will attract lots of new ones as it gathers pace with the fantastic RL that will be on display.

Make no bones about it this club wants to play fantastic RL and be the best it can possibly be, starting with a GF appearance next season - lets all enjoy the journey together

Neil, one thing to consider for future seasons would be a 5 ticket book without the add ons, for those of us who can't get to every home game.
