Who cares about awards! We want a community dept to help increase crowds not to go after awards. That's where the last one went wrong.

Starbug please stop using Dick's log in or if you want to continue at least try to dumb down your posts so it's not so obvious

Congratulations , it takes a special sort of Moron to throw out 4 insults in 1 sentance, firstly I dont need to hide behind anybody else's user name, if I want to comment on here, I will



Secondly, you think Lynda would let me use here name



Thirdly, you suggest she isnt allowed an opinion of her own , maybe you are the sort of person that expects their spouse to stick to washing up and cooking, caveman then



Lastly you suggest she needs to ' dumb ' it down ? , how very nice of you, perhaps youll have the balls to go to the Centurion on Tuesday to apologise for the insinuation , given tgat she spent 3 nights last week running around , arranging stuff to support Leigh Centurions



D***head

WTF you laughing at pillock?

Just finished my ironing , what have I missed!

PMSL at at the idea of Steve logging onto my account, it's no wonder he no longer posts on here.

I'm not having a go at the Club just answering why IMHO Fev have increased their fan base.

You still haven't grasped it have you.

They didn't apply to win any awards.

It was the work they did on our last SL bid that won them it.



Anyway we won't win it for this year will we!

I was laughing because I thought it was funny. I see that you still have your warm and welcoming persona despite having a spell in hibernation.

Fev have also been playing great rugby for three seasons. That defineatly brings in the fans.

This season we have been closer then last year , so were closing the gap on the field , let's try and do the same off it.

IMO The previous community department when all things are considered were excellent, worked hard and had lots of great ideas, of course they could have done more but with the limited budget they probably had to spend too much time and effort not chasing the awards as some have said but chasing the potential funding.



One of its biggest problems (and the current one is the same*) was lack of publicity of what they actually did, having a mini-bus with logo’s on etc shows a community presence. around the towns, when they visit schools, or festivals, etc. We use to have a plain white mini-bus for community use, I’ve drove it

(under the guidance of Mr Chairman, only cos they couldn't get it off East's car Park,

) , do we no longer have it?



Blackburn have about 4 of these, not only for their weekly community work but they also take their disabled supporters to away games in them, could we do this? Or even the JC’s, Even if they had to pay the travel cost.



*The publicity is so lacking I’m not even sure we currently have one?

Exactly Glow. What's the point of a community dept that no one ever really knew that it existed ?



I also believe bringing young people into an apprenticeship scheme, installing a working culture and giving them a purpose within a structured in house training programme is a step in the right direction. One the club should be applauded for and one that will eventually deliver it's objective.



It is also a community programme the club can now control as I was informed the last one was working independent of the club.

This was from September last year onwards when the staff was made redundant by the club.

Young lads can not apply for the grants though etc etc Hannah and co could and have got secured and in place.



Since then, they have worked independant of the club, one of their projects that they funded with grants was the boards that are on the walls under the North Stand.
