cant remember the club putting buses on in the past for disabled supporters, i have a ingrowing toe nail would i qualify for free bus travel, come on Roy get a grip the facilities at the LSV are loads better than at "lovely " hilton park and the facilities for disabled are amongst the best in the country

I reckon Roy is moaning because he is really a Salford fan and is jealous that we've got a shiny new stadium and they haven't!

He's just comedy value. As someone pointed out, he's our Syd Sheppard.

PM just received from the club.

Provided I go to Specsavers AND stop moaning they,ll send a chauffeur driven limousine with a free bar.

Talk about taking the michael, I told em to bog off.

Don,t the club care anymore ? Cheeky sods they said only for home games and we could make our own arrangements for away travel.

I am still bouncing I am so annoyed.

Could anyone imagine a Nonrelegation club treating fans with such contempt.

After reading Roys letter in the LE I would guess that he and others used to catch a bus to the Station in Leigh and found it then easier to catch another or easier then to walk to Hilton park than now get to the LSV

Having said that it would be interesting to know if we have asked any of the bus companies if they would consider running a ' Match special ' from either the town centre or further afield

Or better still ask the council why they arent doing it , they do after all provide transport to the LSV on a daily basis for the disabled to the council run day/meeting room next to the reception area at the ground

I do not know if this is relevant to your situation or not but the one of the bigest mistakes Fax made when we moved from Thrum Hall was not puting on buses .We lost nearly 1,000 speccies just like that who were elderly and there was not a conveniant bus times on Sunday evenings back up to the Thrum Hall area.They should have put double deckers on for a season to get them used to coming down the Shay they could have charged them to travel.

Irremevant to be honest as both Hilton Park and the LSV are about a half a mile walk from the central bus station all be it in the opposite direction, the buses issue is totally off the wall unless one lives at the side of the old HP site and even then they are only about half a mile apart.

LSV is further away from our house than HP, but we now walk or get dropped off and have a few drinks, when we were at HP it was drive there just in time for the game and then straight out of the dump and back home after.

I think the club should put on a barge from Butts Basin to LSV though.
