Not sure there is too much here to be happy about. I would like to think that exhortations to us to increase the gate would work but I really think it will have a marginal effect.



Was hoping that Mr Megabucks would have joined the Board. That is the only solution surely?

But have we not just had one of those who when they pull the plug (no disrespect to Mr Thomas intended) everything has a big chance of going upside down?



A different mindset is needed one of 'Its our club WE need to maintain that its there for our children and our childrens children' so it's time to stop all the 'the club must do this the club must do that' surely it's time WE ALL did our bit more in whatever 'bit' we can?

Absolutely right Fred. I am going to double my membership of the Lottery with immediate effect.

IMO a clear the air meeting between the board of directors and the fans must be arranged and people must go into, the meeting in a positive fashion with the ONLY agenda being 'HOW CAN WE ALL TOGETHER DRIVE THE CLUB FORWARD' and that anybody being negative is asked to leave because it's time to put all the petty arguments, so called feuds and slights behind us and everybody from the youngest supporter to the eldest, the poorest to the richest to all pull the ship in the same direction.

Thats a start well done





just a note to all potential trolls anyone spoiling this thread will suffer the consequences take this as an advance warning if you've nothing positive to contribute to it then STAY AWAY

Well i've just read it and its quite promising

Why not try Pataks for investment?. Don't they operate in Leigh? (Sorry if I'm wrong, but even though I rarely miss a game, I haven't lived there since 196icon_cool.gif If they do, try and get them to invest - even offer to rename the ground Patak Stadium. After all, it's Indidan Chicken Farmers who own Blackburn Rovers so seeing that their reserves play at the LSV, perhaps they could be persuaded to invest. Get 'em over next time they're at Blackburn

Good statement, basicially if we want the club to survive, we all have to try and help, in whatever way we can.

Although it was a bit rambling at times, the message was good. What I took from it was this - on the field we are in a tick the box situation as we stand BUT that is no use at all if we don't tick the attendance and turnover box. This year is the year to do it because who knows what the future holds either on the field (will we be able to keep a decent team?) or off it (will the fans come back if that happens). THAT is why getting people into these last games is critical to be able to tick those 2 boxes. I don't know if I am correct or not, but if I am, then perhaps thet could have expressed it a bit more bluntly in those terms. It should certainly be a wake-up call, and good on them for admitting there has been complacency and that there is no room for that anymore!

I agree, certainly wouldn't do any harm to involve as many people as possible in our push to get in SL and take this club forward.

In fairness I found the press release pretty positive stuff and it shows how this club is moving forward on & off the field (a few years ago the silence would have been deafening during this transitional period).

AT retiring may be the final push the town and business people of the town need to take the club on further.



In terms of pushing attendances forward, might be a good time for us all to remind people that children get in for nothing (as everybody through the gate counts) also if doing any promo posters for pubs /chippys would we be able to put the League Table in the graphic that shows everyone where we are in the league

Agree completely. We are in a position now to win the NRC and get to grand final this year. 1 more box ticked. Get the attendance up to 3k+ and it's another. Potential investors would see a much more attractive proposition if they knew we could apply for a SL franchise next time round having already satisfied all the criteria. The investment then comes in that meets the turnover requirements.
