Quote: DParky "Hmmm there is perhaps a route around the town and old places where the club has played... first starting behind the Three Crowns pub on Chapel Street, then Mather Lane, then Charles Street, Kirkhall Lane and then the Sports Village.. A Heritage March from our past, into our future...'"
To end with the unveiling of a large sign in front of the stadium "Home of LEIGH CENTURIONS"
A lot of people won't know but every week there are national coach tours using the Park Inn Hotel for one or more overnight stays. One evening, heading home from one of my Country Park walks, I was passing a group of people from the Hotel who were having a stroll passed the stadium when I heard one of them ask the group "who plays here?" - I think they found out from a small sticker on the ticket office window. I immediately thought - why the hell have we not got a big sign up with our name on?
I remember the question being asked at a LISA meeting at Leigh East quite a while ago and Phil Coffey confirmed that the reasion was that we had not asked for one
I think it's terrible that we are not linking our name to such a fantastic facility especially when we are attracting international matches plus the opening of Morrisons shortly?
