Quote: Dick Jones "At £4 a seat, why would anyone drive?'"
Because, despite a truly wonderful gesture by the BOD, the coach does not always cater for everyone's requirements.
As the saying suggests, you can not please everyone all the time.
Some of the minibus lads like to go very early to away games and make a full day of it. Who can blame them? I would if I was their age again but sadly I can no longer last the pace.
Some regulars on the coach then said they would like to go early as well so the coach organisers started to run the coach much earlier to appease them and to also appeal more to the mini bus lads.
However this put off more than it pleased IMO, especially those who used to go with young children and not wishing/ or allowed to take their children in a pub they found themselves at the ground far far to early with nothing to do.
Other regulars also decided to drive who only wanted the coach to travel to and come back from and spend as little time away from home doing so.
Many then decided to drive instead
However the bottom line is this, The LISA coach always has been and remains an invaluable service to supporters like me to be able to attend as many Leigh RLFC matches as possible.
