Just to let you all know that 'asterix' has emailed me a photo of the Miners' team. What's more, it's a cracker! East may have won the game, Wayne, but.......

Joint fundraiser with money also going to the local hospice?

Kayak type boats would work were you just stick your paddle in Hawaii Five O style !

Ditto




As Dave Parky said , a joint fundraiser for charity , we need to keep the rivalry but encourage cooperation and improve relations between the 2

Possibly give the whole town a fun day out , we could sure do it in the present climate

" Somebody said it couldn't be done

But he with a chuckle replied

Maybe it couldn't but he would be one who wouldn't say so until he had tried

So he started right in with a trace of a grin , on his face if he worried he hid it

He started to sing as he tackled the thing that couldn't be done

And he did it "

A pre season (early August?) event would be fantastic and I am sure would generate fantastic support from many and making money for charity would provide a worthy cause to go alongside some undoubted friendly rivalry.

This could be stretched to the Open age with a double event and as Starbug said the festivities could be hosted at alternate venues.

The first maybe being decided by a goalkicking,crossbar challenge type contest or simply by the toss of the coin.

This has the potential of a huge fundraiser and a fantastic annual event.

C'mon chairmen/committee men, get your heads together and get it sorted - the whole of the Leigh public will be behind you.
