Are these the club apprentices? i was talking to one of them the other day and they deliver posters into schools whilst doing activities! They mention our club alot too.



Maybe we can ask one of them to dress up as parky ?

No ste. I'm talking about members of the PSG and Board, who are devoting a lot of their time to putting things in order and moving forward. Their professional qualifications and experience are very impressive and would cost (any club) a small fortune to pay for! And, incidentally, they are all members of the local 'Community'.

Mish , for clarity can you change your ' S,s ' to ' C,s '

is for it to do what it was set up to do , to increase awarenes in the community of Leigh Centurions , to help increase the fan base of Leigh Centurions and to where possible employ Leigh Centurions players



The current administration were invited to appoint club employee's/directors onto the Trust , they declined citing a ' conflict of interest ' , they now claim they dont have any ' control ' of the Trust , maybe if they could make up their mind what they do actually ' want ' then all this could have been avoided

I have noticed a ' drift ' on this thread , lets get back to the O/P , so will you all be happy having Leigh Centurions owned/run by a Supporters Trust ? , which as I pointed out , would almost certainly remove any chance of ever getting into SL



If people want to discuss the Community Trust , start up your own thread

I don't get it.





And you didn't answer my questions.

You posted ST , when you meant CT



As for what they have done , do you want me to get overall numbers of kids worked with ?, programmes delivered ?, players employed ? , awards recieved ?



Dont forget , what the apprentices will be doing is fairly similar to what the Community Dept/Trust has done for years , so unless the club changes what it has/hasn't done afterwards , then the results wont improve



Unfortunatley there is no way of actually counting how many new supporters have been brought to the club as a result of community work , unless of course you start of with the ' Census ' of the club I first suggested to the BOD several years ago , and to the PSG last november



Only by first doing that can you get a true indication of any initiatives success or failure

By this you mean what exactly?



Ticket offers, generally converting people into Leythers? How would you personally persuade people to support? (This is not a dig btw, maybe its something we can discuss with the club at the next meeting/fans forum)

Ah so I did.





Sorry to keep going on about this but one of the things I don't understand it you say you thought of building a database with DOB etc years ago, but why, as a director of the Community Trust, (something which you say is your passion), didn't you or one of the professional people involved in it, ever implement it through the CT?



Surely that should have been one of the first things they should have done?



Instead, it's has been left to a bunch of 'amateurs' to build the database up from scratch, something which they've done very well in the last couple of months I might add.



Just for the record, I'm not involved in it.

Too much to go into right now , I'v work to do , but we all agree Friday night was fantastic , that was due to 3 things



1 the visit of a world class team



2 a large number of away fans



3 a large number of home fans



Well we cant do anything about the world class opposition , but the other two things can be achieved with a little foresight and some hard work



Confucious he says , use net to catch fish , better than a hook and line

It is the clubs job to know its customers , not the community depts/trusts
