  1. John, I believe some detail wasn’t disclosed at that vote btw
  2. Leigh fan here, wish Salford could attract fans and a benefactor to create a great future, but taking ownership of their own creation is what I most wish for them. They are a basket case commercially - our play off was a case in point, we would have paid at least a tenner more on the ticket price and sold just as many. They gave the fixture away to court the council leaving probably £100k out of the coffers
  3. Pay day next Friday No money means probable breach of contract making players free agents - let’s see how willing the Salford owners are to dip into their personal cash, being so confident of how it’s a temp cash flow issue it would be risk free for them, surely
  4. They must think we are thick - let this investor attend the meeting and guarantee the advance
  5. Whose on about donations, look what the government is wasting on Green ideology somebody is profiting
  6. Hope the Leigh/Wigan fixtures are Hospice fundraisers again - on a separate note the word in the tap room is Jet 2 are Leighs main sponsor for 2025/6
  7. No, biggest is Green energy
  8. 1. We played Salford at LSV in the M8’s 2016 2. Traffic was an absolute nightmare getting to Salford in the play offs this year. The car park was no better. 3. A lot of bell ed kids were looking for trouble after the game, something the regular fans were not happy with - maybe this is why they can’t reach potential, even Salford fc are struggling to attract crowds with sub 3k average. 4. Salfords gates at the willows were no better in SL 5. A large board near to the motorway will generate sub 50k pa
  9. If granted PG's should be given to ensure season is completed and bills are paid
  10. Its ###### easy to do some basic forecasts - Income (sky, gates, sponsors and other etc) Outgoings (squad, back room, coaches, playing/training costs, etc) Variance covered by ? If you cant cover you reduce cost, if you can cover plan how to increase income so you dont need to going forward.
  11. SL to be bought by Musk, entire staff to lose jobs, Netflix documentary on the Leopards and the new billionaire owners and finally deciding ashes test to be played in Miami
  12. They shouldn’t have better cash flow than Nov/Dec sponsors season tickets and merchandise all coming in. Salford cannot work unless fans and business’s make it work. This plea should have gone to them to plug this gap, unless they know it’s going to blow later bar another council miracle?
  13. I heard they signed Chris Hill on a 5 year contract just in case Wolseley made an approach.
  14. Many clubs didn’t take the loans as they were deemed not good value if you intended to pay them back, my club didn’t for example. RU clubs took it then went bust
  15. Avg gate is about 2500 that compared with the Championship in RL 2023 of 2000
  16. In the last 2 posted results Rhinos LOST £3.5m in total. The parent Caddick plc or whatever it’s called made £85m in the same period.
  17. Probably been said but we, Leigh, appear in 7 Thursday fixtures!!! The day hated by fans/corporate etc and we appear in 7 of them considering there would be 52 an average would be 4/5 per club say 2 home and 2 away. Hope Sky are paying for this honour
  18. Wasn’t the share fiasco to get the PG off a directors back? Followed by we won’t be selling players, followed by the exodus with big fees paid to them whilst all along not paying rent and getting bailed out by the council?? That shepherd boy must be close to falling on deaf ears soon
  19. Leigh T3. Cas and Wakey to scrap with Hull in B4
  20. We don’t need French when we can call upon Cleary as his bird lives over here
  21. £150 return train tickets already
  22. No it’s not unless you can utilise it fully.
  23. Must be the Welsh pochin effecting the memory. 2021 DB was ‘told’ no relegation - at the time the season was about to start, no quality available and Covid restricting income. This changed, he then went about a rebuild for 2022 knowing the squad would get better as the season progressed, imo that team would have been T4 in SL. Started with the coaching set up, medical team, conditioner and players in that order. There are no guarantees of promotion but as soon as the pitches dried up there was only ever going to be one winner. He threw the cash at that team knowing that major recruitment in October to be SL competitive was impossible. Img were not a influence on his decision, they were not around. Of the 10 quota in the squad Inu was retiring, Aekins Ioane and Hingano were being released, Stone had allegedly signed back to NRL. Fergie was being retained until the red mist came. The 5 year plan was promotion and then build in SL. Start a ladies team and get it SL competitive and get an elite academy licence and make it the best it can be within 3 years.
