I appeal to dave Coyle , Jim Hoffman , Geoff Owen , gary grainy and the rest . Please speak , arrange a meeting , telephone someone . Gary we have been friends for a long time is it that difficult to ring me and start putting things right Thats why I said an informal chat first keith because what we dont need is both sides going on the defence, lets see if both sides can move on from mistakes thats been made and lets not forget were all there to help, I'll quite gladly meet with dave and gary and hear their thoughts but what they cant do is be stubborn and think everythings going great and theres no issues because clearly there is, my concerns in all this is the coaches and players because there stuck in the middle when all they want is to play hard then have a victory pint and a laugh without bitching

I think that all the people who are upset about what's going on at the club and want to change things could make start by turning up on Saturday to support 1st against Kells. Who knows I might meet some of my friends again.

Wish I could be there Ken on Saturday but we have a big family gathering, in fact its Kilshys Nan's 80th Birthday party,,,and we have family coming from all over the country.
The message is clear to me and everyone can see it except the people that need too...
I am happy to sit down with everyone and get this club moving in the right direction........ Lets hope someone gets in touch.

Its a very sad state of affairs at Leigh East at the moment. Its heartbreaking to watch the deterioration in the club. Ive been going to east for the last 10 years and Ive not seen it this low. Dave Radley is not to blame, hes a good man with a big heart and rugby is his passion as it is with most people. Whoever has Leigh East at heart needs to come into this century and plan, manage and co-ordinate effectively to bring the club back to where it was. Where are all the people who signed the petition to keep Leigh East as a Rugby Club and not let the council have it? ?? Rugby is about community its what make its special...... but where are all the people who use to watch their kids play there.....involvement of the local community falls on deaf ears, ideas are put forward to no avail...There is no character in the club anymore and I hope the people concerned who say they are Leigh East can actually think about Leigh East and not their own ego's. The facilities at Leigh East should be something to be proud of and it should be in a good place, not the dark place it is at the moment, how much further will it have to sink? ? This should not be about blame or who likes who, it should be about whats best to bring this club back on its feet........

As a new committee member and not sure on all the past history of whats happened and who has said what over the years, isnt it about time the outspoken people on here who no longer have any say on what happens at leigh east take a stand, have a meeting and prepare for a real confrontation with the management committee and lets see what they have to say. After reading all the posts I can see that people are still passionate about the club whether still involved or not. Its time we started putting things into action and stop venting it all on forums. At then end of the day we are talking about our kids who eventually will be men and need to know they have a leigh east committee behind them and are not just there for the glory games which are few and far between in the current situation.

Thank you FP and please explain to them that we do not want to be on any committee and don't want any of the present committee to lose their standing . We want to be volunteers and help leigh east . To be honest that's all we have ever wanted . I wish you the best of luck

The problem is members don't seem to have an input or voice at the club, and all too often when experienced passionate Leigh East people have offered to help it is thrown back in their faces. Anybody who wants to help should be welcomed by the club, unfortunately that is not the case. Personal egos need to be put aside and what is best for the club has to be the deciding factor on any action the committee makes. Bridges need to built with people who are no longer involved but want to be, but with no strings attached, a line under the past, fresh start. A confrontation is not whats being talked about on here because that implies an argument and thats not what is needed, everyone needs to work together. The Dave Radleys, John Taylors and Danny Kilshaws should be back at the club, they have been at East since they were kids and bleed red and black, the committee must make this happen. If they can't or won't do this they should step down as they are NOT doing what is best for the club. If things don't change quickly we will be in division 3, we have good players coming through but how many will want to play in that division? when they can play prem rugby for Miners or Pats. I have heard good things about Alan Hadcroft and wish him luck but the problems run deeper than coaching, things need to change to give the coaches a chance. I like a lot of people who have posted will be there on Saturday cheering the lads on.

I will also be there cheering the lads on . I know we are talking about open age rugby but what is the update on other age groups . I have concerns about numbers at junior level 7-12 , can anyone confirm numbers for me , 13-15 and youth , how are they doing in general . If all other age groups are doing well then the present committee are doing a decent job apart from open age which we all know is in a mess
One point , considering the official forum is down can coaches and admin staff please use this forum to post fixtures , post results and reports also post up and coming events until the club reopen the official forum , for the sake of supporters and sponsors . It would be appreciated
