Years ago when the A&E department was going to be closed at Leigh, the people of the town organised and carried out a 'march' through the town centre.
Why shouldn't we do that for Leigh Centurions now, it will raise the profile of the team and we could bucket collect on the way round and help raise some money!
Just a thought, shouldn't be too hard to put together, it could culminate at the sports village and there could be a fun day, touch rugby, stalls etc to try and get some more cash!!

Don't know what people think.
I'd be willing to do it!!

Maybe do a door to door bucket collection if get enough people on the route?

The event could then finish at the night time, with a concert/music night. The Hospice does the proms, the stadium is big enough and must have an entertainment licence.
I know its a bit of a big idea, but there must be some money to be made!!!

There must be local bands who would be willing to play/appear, it would be publicity for themselves as well. Get the media involved and show everyone that the people of Leigh want there rugby team.
Sorry! I am just thinking too big maybe!!

In the bad old days when the baliffs were coming we slept over night to prevent them we were also having to raise money for the leccy bill etc. During that time we took to the streets of Leigh & collected 20.000 yes 20.000 signatures to save the club. As you can see nothings changed

Oh I don't know...I think we have more than 20 fans now.

With the thread title - I thought we'd installed one of the March Brothers as coach for a sec !!!

Yeah, so did i



Should have had O/T in the title surely?

I'm liking this idea and a Legion idea given on twitter...

We had a march years ago when in a CVA that raised £20000 and went from our old home to the new craven park,yours in that ilk wouldnt be too far.
Strangly enough i think it was b4 a swinton match.
You could organise a sponsored walk to a 4 nations match.

like the one at LSV on the 29th of Oct for instance

good luck

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...
