Well I don’t know the ins and outs but having monthly fundraising nights would help and not just at the same place all the time Also better merchandise which the supporters trust could supply with maybe half the profits going to the club These are sound ideas but they only scratch the surface

It’s the Boards remit and responsibility to raise funds.
I agree the Club Board seems to work in isolation and totally misses out on the resource that’s @vailsble
We are, as you intimated, a Community Club in name only; a number of us, with experience, ability and wide ranging connections, did put lots of time in to try to help but in the end we wasted our time; the only thing generated by us utilised by the Club was a fully researched Community Share Ownership Scheme, of which the Club eventually utilised part and achieved about a third of its target. We and others gave up; sadly
As I’ve said it seems to be a Private Members Club at times but as you say, things need to change.

After last season he must be gutted, the Club really let him down; our predicament is always put down to somebody else’s faultI, when in reality it’s about planning. I wouldn’t blame him.
I’ve said this all along EB that we’re a survival and feeder Club; ambition maybe but we seem to live on hope
AMBITION (or HOPE) without fully developed STRATEGIC PLANNING in the end is just a DREAM..

The way Rowley has been let down, having to to keep building new teams, letting his best players go and working with little money easily gives him a reason But Hull seems strange Why would he want to work under Myler; he’s forgotten more than Myler knows Why would he uproot to Hull; a Leigh lad who support's Bolton living in a lovely part of Worsley, Why would he put his family thro it; children’s education, friends etc Why destroy the Band of Brothers he’s generated Money, challenge, feeling of the Club living on empty promises, relationships within the Club

Our right edge defence as always been poor this is how we defend people go on about missing sio but look back at tries scored and there the same as this season really jamming in leaving a big gap,so it’s not the players it’s the system employed really! Or the players we can afford

Our R Edge defence is v poor but we’ve had 5 new players trying to gel out there Hankinson, Cust, Ryan, McDonald Nofu…so perhaps we can hope it’ll sort in time And Brierleys covering not the best this season As Sneyd says the half backs will take time to get to know each others game, so Sneyd needs to dominate at the mo until Cust and him gel…my fear with Cust …..seems his lack of speed and lack of backing up Rowleyball perspective www.youtube.com/watch?v=wet5psrCY8gMike Eccles perspective www.youtube.com/watch?v=kMsBY45uTVk

Apparently the Team Coach took 5 hours….just what you need before a game
2 points

Whatever happens we have to sort th3 R Edge defence out
Ryan, McDonald, Watkins Cust I think….not gelling…even London showed us up a few times. McDonald great going forward but seems to miss lots of tackles…Croft used to do a lot of covering over there…Cust seems to disappear….and Brierley seems not to cover auickly enough

A bit of a reality check R; Rowley is having to develop a new team and it’ll take time…be happy that we won’t face relegation and we might get top 6 if things gel and we, because of our small squad, steer clear of injuries

Getting things in perspective we’ve lost Croft, Ackers, Dupree, Sio and Burgess that’s 4 internationals and a Man of Steel so we’re in the rebuilding stage. New spine, less speed, new plays for most people
Today we tried to play as we did mid season last year as we tried against Cas, but it’s not coming off. When we play against the better teams we seem to have a simpler game plan. So we have a choice…we build slowly or we try to br more expansive and suffer, like today and get a lot wrong. We should have had two more first half tries but no backing up…no Croft
Our right edg3 tackling and covering esp McDonald is dire and Brierley misses the cover often …but it’ll take time. For some reason Mellor doesn’t fit in to the attack and not sure, yet, of Croft’s role…Bouroh to me fits in better but he’s only young
So all we can do is be patient and watch things get better each week…inshallah..…😤

Well awful, but Sneyd was able to kill the game, aided by some good defence
Think we missed Bouroh, Mellor makes too many poor decisions for me. Its going to take a good while to get this team organised
But 2 points and at best London are a mid table Championship side
That last not try…I think Lafai dropped it over the line.
I don’t think we’ll miss King V…Nene. MoM …defence awful, Cross for me

Well that was awful…headless chickens…trying to score off every play…disorganised…McDonald, still not convinced, his defence awful
I suppose it’s going to take another month or two to get this team organised and playing well
I can’t understand why we don’t just play positional pressure simple rugby while we’re developing
Not moved on from the Cas game

Why can’t we just play simple rugby for the first 10 minutes🙃
