The Watcher felt very sorry for Freer & Coffey at tonights meeting, good luck to both of you

You were actually making some sense there until you ruined in! Anyone who gets involved with a pro sports club has got nothing but admiration from me as let's be honest all they do is chuck their money and time in to a black hole where they will never get any of it back - is it any wonder there are so few willing volunteers?!

Well said Matt.

The Watcher is stating his opinion, Mr Thomas left the club in a mess, yes AT was pumping in lots of money & we were enjoying the benefits of that on the pitch. However although it was good in the short term, the fact that Thomas made no provision to see the job through to the end (ie a bond placed in a bank so that payments could be met whatever happened, as a large builder would do when building houses) meant that we are now in a mess. With hindsight the other board members could of foreseen a possible situation of cash shortfall if Mr Thomas left for whatever reason & asked Arthur to deposit a fighting fund just in case it all went wrong.

Why don't YOU put YOUR money in to a bond?

Just a last note on tonight's broadcast. As stated earlier, it was the first time this had been tried and was very much a test on the (Leighlife) system. We had a bit of a sweat on (outright panic actually) when the radio went live and the site went down but we now know why this happened and can make provisions for any future broadcasts, and by next season everything will be hunky dory for the live match broadcasts.

I must apologise to those who could hear a bit of whispering at the beginning, apparently the mic on the laptop was accidentally left on for a short while.

Anyway I'm glad those who couldn't make it to the LSV managed to listen to at least some of it and now I've seen it in action, I can't wait till we can do the games next year.

Another first for the Leigh Centurions.

While what you post is technically correct , he wasn't happy tipping in , and to suggest he should have made ' contingency ' plans isn't really ' right '

ATEOTD we are where we are , we now have to deal with the world as we see it , without Arthur
