I wondered why Andy Burnham had been appointed vice president of Leigh Centurions?

A quote from Richard Short, who stood as the Tory party's candidate for Leigh in 2010

"As for the Leigh Sports Village, the facilities are excellent, the opportunities are boundless but it left a debt of almost £373,000 last year, up 6% on the year before. The costs of failing to manage the accounts on this scale is under-written by us the Council Tax payer so it needs to be urgently addressed and I call on Mr Burnham to support a review of how LSV is managed to make it the success it deserves to be."

Not just Leigh Centurions in financial trouble, difference is we don't have the tax payer to bail us out, no white knight just the hard hit supporter and LISA!

Are you suggesting the LSV management is top heavy ?

Just a question' and regarding Andy Burnham' you could ask the question at the next fans forum.

He loves his sport, everybody knows his name. I think it can only be a good thing. Ask him to come to a few games, tweet a few things and he could ask a few if his contacts to help us out

Interesting first post, welcome Tin Tin.

Andy Burnham I know who he is.



Richard Short not a clue who he is.



No review needed, council should cut it losses and hand LSV over to the Peoples republic of Leyth.

Andy is a former honorary Chairman of the club, given that title by the consortium

In case you missed it Andy burnham has just been appointed vice president of Leigh rl

Yes john, I spotted the O/P

Glad you haddn't missed it,not having a go, i just couldn't understand the point of your post

It begs the question...........who's "Tin Tin"??

Just pointing out that this isn't the 1 st honorary type position he has held at the club

It'd be nice if they actually live in Leigh

Have you never seen those books when you were younger Walt.
