I hate to be the bearer of bad news but there is the small matter of beating the not rights from dewsbury first I would wait till this time next week before we start planning Leeds I personally would like the club not to put free coaches as it brings out Leigh's finest and it no a pleasant sight..

Quite correct tony, however due to the very short time between sunday and the final it is neccesary to pre plan the coach arrangements, if we are fortunate enough to make the final it is hoped LISA will have coach tickets available for sale after sundays match ( hopefully in Legends bar if open ) as the cut off for ordering coaches is friday 12 pm, giving us only 4 1/2 days

More details in a dedicated thread will follow later this week

I've spoke to the club today and they are not offering any sponsership so unless any sponsers come forward this is very unlikely .

This is a grand final for the best Leigh team in 30 years and people want te directors to lay on free coaches. I'll tell you what the club have done this year is provide the best team and equally important the best club in 30 years if not ever.

I agree there , I think the money is better spent on players or things needed for next year

Just a quick update on this topic.

I've held a lengthy discussion tonight with a representative of LISA and we feel that rather than me posibly create a difficult situation by having to choose who goes on a free coach and taking into account that there will be no subsidised coaches other than the one I am proposing to be paying for I've decided to cover the cost of two supporters coaches if we are sucessful in our big game on Sunday.

In a nutshell if we win Sunday and say we can manage to take ten coaches to leeds then there will be a discount to all of 20% or indeed a pro rata discount based on the amount of coaches sold.

On reflection and following feedback and discussions I feel this is a better way for me personally to show my appreciation to all the loyal supporters for the fantastic support you have given to the club this last couple of seasons while I've been involved.

Once again thanks for the support.


Regards

Andy Mazey

wouldn't you agree that a better gesture would have been subsidised travel for all rather that a freebie for a chosen few?

You heard it here first.

Well done Andy, that is an excellent gesture.

Top gesture from AM, yet again. (and no, I won't be wanting a place on a coach! ) His original gesture was good, but this one's even better. (and no, I won't be wanting a place on a coach! )
