Same here. Whether it's sink or swim by then will depend on when our hearing is (presuming HMRC issue a winding up order).

I know for a fact Matt, all us North Stand lads would if we were at the game, we would run through a brick wall for our club, PROUD TO BE A LEYTHER.

the club havent asked for or been given any LISA money since all this has been going on, LISA were up to date wwith money they had promised for players contracts, so we have a fair bit in our coffers at the moment, quite a lot actually, was hoping we could sponser 4 players maybe next season.

Is Adam Higson one of them? And maybe Ian Watson?



*Not a serious post, trying to raise a smile.*

Stop sponsoring players and buy some shares, it all goes in the same pot.

You started LISA Neil, what happened there? How come your no longer involved with it?

Neil we need all pull together and save the club, who up for a massive campaign Leigh Town Hall Square Saturday, all around town, get as many people to chuck at least a pound in for their town s rugby team, bet we,d get a lot.
Give them forms to join LISA we need that 1000 members that would give us enough to fund the club, with sponsers etc.

Just the other day i aked are LISA still contributing to the players wages the answer came back,yes LISAs contrubutions are up to date now im reading they payed nothing at all,what the hell is going on?.

I wish you well but is the passion still there in the town? Is the passion still there in the fans to help you?

What do you mean John, they paid nothing at all, again i am confused.

Sorry mate i cant help you ,its all smoke and mirrors.

Wish someone could John, my heads in pieces here, and i am up for work at 5.30 in the morning.

What are you on about we agreed a monthly figure to pay and we have paid that figure, obviously since then more has been raised , ie the poker money, coach money, donations of over 2500 to LISA alone. They need money to offer contracts for next season. The only months the players werent paid for were Sept and October.

Which next season are you on about?

Does the left hand know what the right is doing???

Right now we owe £40k to the tax man, a figure that if not paid under an agreed plan will finish us off.

Yet despite the above our leaders didn't stress this amount needed raising and no urgency was put on it...... Add to this LISA is sat on a large bank account all amount to a crazy situation whereby we could fold over £40k but the clubs supporters group has a healthy bank account...

Bizarre but true it appears!!

Are you asking LISA to help pay the TAX debt Ste?

I see no other option mate. I can't imagine LISA has anywhere near £40k to give but it would be start.

I've paid my LISA bill until the end of 2012, I asked last week would any of the other 300 members do the same to help settle existing bills. I got shot to pieces!!!

I am waiting for the club to ask for money and detail debts, who to, amounts and due dates.
Fans are in LISA for the benefit of their club, players, tax bills or jock straps - whatever is in the best interests of their club.

All the above should have been detailed at the last forum mate!

FOR ME THEY CAN HAVE ANYTHING LISA HAVE, HOWEVER SOME WILL SAY IT CANT BE USED TO PAY THE HMRC, ITS FOR PLAYER CONTRACTS ETC, HOWEVER IT ISNT ENOUGH TO COVER THE DEBT, BUT A LARGE FIGURE UP FRONT AND AN SAID AMOUNT MONTHLY MAY BE ACCEPTED. THE CLUB HOWEVER HAVENT ASKED FOR LISA TO HELP, WHICH IS STRANGE IF THE SITUATION IS AS SEVERE AS PEOPLE ARE READING INTO IT.

I know that, you know that and even John Abbey knew that.

If you are I have a problem with that. For several reasons. First- and I'm sure there are more knowing people who could answer this- it was set up to solely buy player for the club. Second -and most important - will LISA get the money back? Third, a vote would be needed - I think- before this could happen. I have only been a LISA member for 4 months I think but I would have to say that the people who have been LISA members for 2 years and longer should only be allowed to vote on this question and if there is a legal stand on it then LISa should have it put in their constitution. The reason I say this is that these are the [people that have helped this club of ours to keeps it's head above water and have contributed a damn site more than me.

Sounds unbelievable to me! Lack of communication seems an understatement here.

LISA calls an emergency meeting and asks the question for its members to vote on - they vote and the thats it.
Then 23 fans pay 2 years Gold membership up front and hey presto - HMRC are paid.

£40K is small change so I am baffled by events.

Thats why I say that there is another case that has brought the club to this point.
