Quote: The pieman "I keep hearing about what will be going on at the first game of the season , as it’s a televised game it should be something to get the fans talking and shocked , that said I’m going for a major A list celeb performing from the Pop World , ie the real Rod Stewart ,or maybe one of the Gallagher brothers ,what about the Cheeky Girls, for me it’s the only way we are gonna get anywhere near 10,000 in the LSV , and then it would have to be advertised.
I’ve seen and heard Bongser sing his Opera Arias , maybe he could give us a rendering of the Drinking Song .'"


I remember the days Charlie Knew.'"

Yeah so do I , I’m more of a listener these days , but in all honesty I feel to get a 10,000 plus crowd against Salford something has to be planned to excite the fans , and I have a feeling maybe an A list recording artist is planned by Derek , deffo a watch this space job.'"


is your thinking its along the lines of what they are doing with Horse Racing as i know they have been have gigs post the race meet for a couple of years now.
Would that work the same as with racing? Get a big name on before, HT or after? Would it attract people to the game and them stay depending upon when the artist was on?
i'm very much a get to the game (10 mins early at best), and applaud the players off, then head off home type of fan.

i'm not knocking, just curious how you feel it would work, and if it would attract a big crowd and they were there for the game too'"


I too only usually get there not long before KO and leave more or less at the final whistle, but it’s not the likes of me these things (whatever they are) are aimed at.

I also hope that all this works out for DB, I do however feel a wet freezing February night could put a damper on things, unless it’s the circus!

The packages to indeed look highly professional and a little note saying which player prepared each one is a nice touch.

When picking up my package I was told the queue was about an hour and when the pick-up-ee left with said packages the queue was twice the length as when joined.

I think I'd be right in saying that the feedback from other fans on this side of the rebrand has been positive, some almost verging on envy.

Plus I really want a cyan top to go with whatever my polo shirt voucher gets me in the end.

Credit is well due for this part.

Your right about the envy, my old MD (a pie) sent me a photo of a child crying as he’d been given a Leopard’s shirt for Christmas, icon_lol.gif

I sent him some photos of how we’d received our memberships.

His reply was a photo of his season ticket with the comment “WOW we got this dog e 3 of them in one envelope!”

While the question may linger in DB's motive regards Leigh's rebrand it must be remembered that Super League clubs were asked a couple of years ago to update/upgrade their rebrands and IIRC quite a few have (quite successfully i believe) and others are still in the process of doing so.

Not sure they asked SL clubs to update/upgrade their branding. Branding purely sits with the clubs interest. We are probably seeing the most ever successful rebrand in the history of the game. Success currently sits with Leopards on that score.

What/who are the other clubs who have successfully rebranded?

I was sceptical at this idea at first but nothing would suprise me any more
