Quote: Snowy "The opportunity for Leigh to 'grow' their brand will be the last game of the season v Wigan. Would be even better if we had still something to play for.

I would play it at Bolton. It would generate a great crowd and would tap into outer areas like Westhoughton, Horwich, Daisy Hill, Bents, Bongs and a huge Town like Bolton itself.

Wigan would bring double to Bolton for sure !'"

Almost exactly my idea.
Bolton as an area & the Asian community also are the most untapped but largest potential growth area for a club like Leigh (or even Wigan, but us first hopefully)
Take a game to Bolton, make it Wigan & any remaining seats unsold offer to Bolton Wanderers season tickey holders 'for free'. Not sure of the capacity at Bolton but there is potential to get over 20,000 for that game.

Quote: Bent&Bongser "The main problem with Salford's move was that for people in the Centre of town, it took three buses to get to (and three more to get home). Bad shout by Marwan.'"


When I could afford to watch Leigh regularly and they didn't play Friday night, it takes 2 buses and 1 train there and the same on the journey back. 9 hours round trip with the game included. As I'm partially-sighted I thankfully get free transport in Greater Manc area. But I fully understand anyone's reluctance to rely on public transport.

I will definitely be at CC semi-final so long as it's not Headingley. Too difficult to get to on public transport.

@michaelward@genserver.social on Mastodon:



My dad takes the 582 to matches from Atherton, and it's been so unreliable that he's missed two games as a result. I take my bicycle instead. The buses are so crap and unreliable that I wouldn't like to rely upon them.

What Salford should have done, was put on a coach service from the Willows to AJ Bell. That option has probably gone now.

It wasn't Marwans decision pal. Temporarily forget his name but the previous owner of Salford took a chance on the new stadium with Salfords Willows sold off for housing development & a 3 way (IIRC) deal or funding between commercial investors, Salford Reds & Salford City Council.

The problem still remains that it's on the furthest edge of Eccles on the way to Irlam & Cadishead & pretty much in no mans land !

Edit.

Previous owner didn't feel they had a choice under threat of the RFL & minimum stadium standards while Wakey & Cas just lied their way through it for what 15 years ?

Like Sept Sev says they should have put coaches on for the supporters. Unfortunately, most clubs would rather take from fans than give back. Those missing fans are lost forever now.
