The atmosphere generated on Saturday evening was as good as anything we've had this year at home and really lifted the lads.

We do look at the different topics on here and do try and action some of the decent suggestions that come up on here where it is both beneficial and financially viable.

The longer this behaviour is tolerated the longer it will go on and potentially deteriorate with bigger attendances.
Hoping it will go away clearly does not work.
More pro-active stewarding would seem to be an obvious option.
The use of hand held digital cameras can also be used to good effect.
It is clearly for the club and the LSV to decide the best way to proceed - there is a whole range of options that can be used to reinforce the stewarding actions.

Great Stuff!

We've tried to make our Social Media Outlets (Twitter, Facebook, Leythers, LeighLife) a lot more 'fan friendly' this year. Not just feeding you news but actually interacting with you all, getting your views and having a little fun too! I'm biased but we think its going really well. We are by far and away the most followed club on Twitter in the Championships, Facebook is a fantastic too! If everyone who is a 'fan' of the club on these two forums alone came to the match we'd have near enough 11k week in week out, which would be great!

We are always open to suggestions too!

Well, taking advantage of that offer, it would be fantastic if someone could sort out the PA system, for once and for all. It's fine when the music is being played, but once the announcer takes over to read out the teams, it goes to pieces. (at least in the West Stand) I'm sure our sponsors would welcome hearing their names read out in full, and not just fragments of them. (e.g. "Try -or th- --ntur---s score- by Bob -eswick, -pons---- by As- Pl--- -ffice -uppl--")

We think the problem is more the Microphones Alan and their proximity to the 'box' which transmits the signal.

We agree its a pain too and are looking into it. Sometimes its as simple as the batteries have gone, other times it seems the signal is being blocked.

Not a good answer, how about asking the LSV management to put a bomb under the stewards backsides and tell them that their job isn't to watch the game, chat to each other or bully easy targets but to actually do a bit of gobbin control.

Being sad doesn't address the problem.

Re: Thank you .. : Mon Jul 21, 2014 2:39 pm  

We don't control the Stewards I'm afraid, which is why we say there is little we can realistically do about it.

We have regular meetings with LSV Management regarding lots of issues at the stadium including the Stewarding.

We will however continue to pass on your comments during these meetings.

Thank you.
