Lets have an open forum at the club and everyone and anyone can attend and lets get this club back to where it should be.
We don't need 'yes men' we need people with vision, ideas, creativity and I know we can get all that.

Can anyone give me any positives from the open age section over the last three seasons . The committee targeted promotion this year , they said leigh east were in the best position it's ever been in . Really , dillusional or stark raving bonkers . They will probably blame us again ha ha

Just got a whole load of frustrations off my chest with a phone call to club chairman Jim Hoffman , Jim says everybody is working hard to make things right at the club , I agreed with him but told him exactly what I thought and he did say there were problems . I would like to thank Jim for listening to me and understanding how I felt about the open age section at leigh east

Theres a huge difference between working hard and working smart however when as has been said quite correctly if there's no trust there's nothing to build on.
people need to start putting ego/pride whatever aside and see the bigger picture

I think the time has come for the committee to realise that whatever the're doing is not working, if they have the best interests of the club in their hearts let people help to try and get people back watching on a Saturday and do more to help the coaches get the lads ready, at the moment alot of lads are disillusioned with the way the clubs going,it might take time but the club can pick itself up and lets get the east mentally back and lets stop saying we've got the best facilities and the best setup because thats not the heart of a club, its the players spectators, committee and members that make a club everything else is superficial

Keith Latham
Janet Pendlebury
Terry Gorman
Donna Lowe
Tony Lowe
Wes couzans
John Taylor
Danny Kilshaw
Phil Johnson
Just a few names that have sweated blood for East and made us so successful over the years and have been driven out and treated with contempt by the committee, they would rather have the club continue down hill than allow these people to help. Their attitude reminds me of the lord of the rings 'my precious' they are terrified of someone taking it away, they would rather the club fold than give up their precious 'jobs'. No way do they have the best interests of the club at heart. The under 18's won the national cup last year without any help or input from the committee, did the committee congratulate them? no, did they put anything in the local press? no, did they go to the final? no, anything on the website? no, picture on the wall? no, if they get there this year will anything change? i doubt it. Oh they did phone the coach that night though, to complain one of the lads celebrated by running in Leigh Miners naked, these are not rugby people. Anyone care to add to the list of people driven out in the last few years, i bet i've missed quite a few.

Hi all
Just a quick reply to say that I agree with a lot of what has been said. Myself and dave really thought things would change with our new ideas. To be fair a few things have but more needs to be done.
Just a note on the players mentioned above. Danny and connor are finishing the season at tyldesley. Connor tells me he will be back wheras danny probably wont be with the current set up but he has been asked. Lyndon, grovesy, brad all wanted to play at the highest level as did matt who is doing well at leigh centurions. Smurf has work commitments last I heard and morty was meant to be coming but hasnt been down yet. Would love to have JT back and ormy has signed for miners. Carl is recovering from an injury and ryan has played this year. Just trying to say keith that its not been through lack of trying to get these players on board.
Apologies if I have any of those players situations wrong, its just my understanding.
I really dont know the answer. I would run my blood to water in any role the club wants me to as will many, many others. We just need to find a way to channel all of this good will.

I would go back working for the right people john, I could not work with some of the current committee, myself and mick woods turned up at the club last year to find the committee having a meeting without us because they knew we would not agree. I can't work for liars.

Another thing, I messaged young David Coyle on Saturday to say the forum was down, he didn't reply until I asked him again on Sunday (the beauty about Facebook message is it tells you if the message has been seen and at what time) his reply was
Not been at the computer yet to check what's going on.
Why lie, why not just say that you have been told to turn it off by the committee? Because this is what's happened!
