In 1982 Leigh beat Whitehaven to become RFL Champions. Thousands of fans made the midweek trek up to Whitehaven to watch Leigh clinch the title with a 13-4 win.

I can't believe it's 30 years ago - my God, doesn't time fly. eusa_eh.gif eusa_eh.gif

Four of us hired a car from Cooke Bros in Atherton and thrashed it up to Haven after work for the KO (non of us wanted to do it to our own!) - I drove there and back as I was the sober one in them days - stopped at a pub somewhere just out of Haven and the supporters coach (well one or two of them there were plenty) stopped too - celebrations all round - Happy Day's

I will always try and help those less fortunate, so if you need me to TAKE CARE of you then please ask. I do believe close family should rally round in old age and senile situations though. Frank told me he was helping out with you btw at the Clowns Benevolent Home, North Shore. icon_wink.gif

Aye but what would they change it to dave?.
Would they allow a level playing with P&R or would they play silly buggers again and start giving parachute payment,giving the relegated club the abillity to stay professional in a semi pro league

I finished work at dinner, meet up with Starbug and we also was on the convoy of coaches and what a day we had.
Still didnt feel like it did, when we bet Haven to win promotion to SL, what a game that was, a roller coaster ride from start to finish, went through every emotion going that day.
Seems like Haven play a big part in our history.
Last match at Hp also.
