5.30 on a Sunday is possibly the worst time to play the game.

Well my neighbour has just rang up the Leigh ticket office to attempt to understand why KO has changed from the 3pm KO as stated on his match tickets he purchased a few weeks ago. The staff have apparently told him they have no idea why the club have changed to 5:30pm, they do not get told why , only told that it has changed. They did however advise him as he has a meal booked at a restaurant they will refund his match tickets without question. He is a little happier.

Hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil. They're behaving like politicians. Whatever happened to good customer service?
They should be ashamed at the way this has been handled, but I doubt they will.

Surely sir derek wouldnt change it just to suit him & ming the merciless so they can watch man utd No one could be that selfish could they ? ... bur why not say what the reason is for the change

Re: Change of kick off time : Thu Feb 22, 2018 3:15 pm  

The silence from the club is unbelievable and as a business owner DB is seemingly uncaring towards his customers especially the season ticket holders. In other words HE DON'T GIVE A DAM or he would have explained the reason for the change by now.

We did Harold. It actually started before that, under Trevor Barton. There were some excellent developments too - the radio 'station; LCTV; the programme; the start of social media for example. All these things have progressed since those early days and, with new ownership, the team has disbanded. We now have an excellent Communications Director, who communicates in a professional manner. I guess he can only communicate what is provided for him though.

Do we have a communications director now? Hasn't he been made chairman, so there is a role to fill.

I personally think that comms out of the club from 2015 onwards have been pretty poor. Not entirely the fault of Mike Latham, but because of how the club as a whole (or just DB?) have chosen to address things. Way issues around Penky, Barlow, Chase etc... dragged the club's reputation through the mud, and things like response to Ridyard signing for Fev showed that we cannot get our point across without seemingly looking for a tit for tat argument. All they had to do was thank him for his service, say he was offered a contract and wish him the best in the future. Didn't need any quotes, statements and certainly didn't need some nonsense about joint releases and how we'd been wronged as a club.

Just before the Batley game, we were subjected to an excuciatingly long piece about taking food and drink into the ground. It is what it is, just tell us what we need to know and don't spend 500 words trying to justify yourselves!

The press release, announcing Mike's appointment as Chairman, indicated that he still is Communications Director, including the time-consuming (believe me! ) role of matchday magazine editor. https://leighrl.co.uk/wp/blog/2018/02/1 ... enturions/ You do make an interesting observation about how some of our announcements seem to get embroiled in 'tit for tat' arguments. Whatever the rights and wrongs of the departures of the likes of Ridyard, Brierley etc, these guys had been our heroes, and maybe just a 'thanks for your service to our club' would have sufficed on their departure. Unfortunately, (just on the evidence of the Toronto game) some of these guys seem to have been highly motivated by something on their return to LSV! As for Sunday's kick off change, I'm not happy about it, but somebody did suggest that LSV has a prior booking at 3 p.m. Doesn't that still seem the likely reason for change? (although a lot of discontent could have been avoided by announcing that, up front, I suppose)

Think some people on here need to be very careful what they are wishing for.

If you don't wish to attend for the sake of 2 1/2 hours then so be it, the club appear happy enough to offer a refund - although, apart from ST holders not many would have bought based on 3pm ko

The change is down to Toulouse struggling getting a flight and having to travel to Barcelona first to get one that’s all it’s nothing serious
