Yes the bloke from Swinton and the 2 footy guys , but none were relevant to us

They was telling us of what their Trusts did and achieved from bad situations. TBF would any clubs situation fit ours like a glove? It was examples, and telling us what they where about which struck a chord at the time because of uncertainty at that time.

We were not ' on our knees ' as you describe although if things continue as they are at the present rate we could be in the future

Maybe you was in the know at the time so could feel relaxed about the situation. Us lot thought we was "on our knees" at that time. But don't want to bring all that up again anyway as it achieves nowt.

But the day we need a supporters trust to ' run ' Leigh Centurions will be the day we are truly bolloxed

Agree to a point. That tiny % chance of getting into SL will disappear anyway.

So if anybody wants to set one up ' just in case ' away they go , it is not that hard

It is hard to set up IMO. Unless there is someone(s) with time, and determined to get it started. Like I said further back we wasn't told how to start one properly.

Finding anybody to actually help , support and ' put themselves out ' on the other hand is virtually impossible

You are not wrong there.

The general apathy of many would largely render it a non-starter IMHO.

Starting the Trust was the biggest hurdle because I got the impression nobody knew how to do it. That very question I remember was asked at the initial meeting and that person was shouted down for being negative. His near to damn it words was "Its alright telling us all these great things that a Trust can do, but how do we go about starting it ?"

Still think the Trust was a good idea too, but not taking over a Independent supporters group.
I also thought Trevor Barton did do us proud in how he organised the guests etc and selling the concept to the fans.

Although I agree you apear to have a good set -up at Leigh ,I also know the Supporters Trust has also moved on.They recognised they were more football orientated and did not apear relevant to rugby league,so they have set on 2 people to deal with rugby league clubs and 1 of them is based at Hudderfield.
