In 'The Centurion' This Week : Thu Mar 24, 2011 8:36 am
'The Centurion' is the matchday magazine of Leigh Centurions. This week's issue contains a lot about the Vikings, and about RL in general. It's not just about Leigh - honest!CEO ALLAN ROWLEY welcomes the Vikings to the LSV, and gives the Club’s view on the current problems with the Challenge Cup, following the draw with Catalans.
Widnes PR & Media Manager, MARK NAUGHTON, joins ALAN EDGE and DAVE PARKINSON, in previewing the Vikings.
ROBBIE HUNTER-PAUL gives a controversial view on players who ‘defect’ to RU and reveals which Leigh player is constantly being mistaken for a film star!
IAN MILLWARD looks back at the big league games with Featherstone and Barrow.
DAVE PARKINSON presents comprehensive reports on both those games – ‘The Centurion’ may soon be the only place to read his excellent summaries. His fascinating ‘Facts ‘N Stats’ feature takes a break this week.
JAMES GORDON’s confesses to a dilemma, over how to explain, to his football friends, how a licensing system is supposed to work.
TONY WILLIAMS turns his gaze on the folly of ‘licensing.’ (And he’s a Vikings’ supporter!)
GARETH WALKER, from ‘League Express’ writes about three Championship clubs, (one of them Widnes) who are attempting new initiatives, to get spectators into their games.
There are excellent action photos of the Featherstone game, courtesy of MAURICE JONES and WAYNE KEEGAN. We were unable to get a photographer to Barrow – and it was too dark up there, to take any photos, anyway!
ALAN EDGE looks at the effects of the demon drink, on one of our SL clubs, and on a former SL player. He also reveals how perceptive an Aussie journalist was, about one of our SL grounds, and how ‘Big Willie’ got a bit confused about whom he was playing for.
All this, plus the usual squad information, LISA news, an updated Safety Bulletin and information from the Club’s Lottery, Commercial, and Community departments, for just £2.50.
As this could well be your last visit to us, why not buy a memento of the day, it could well be a collector's item, one day!
