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.

Are you a QS...

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

Was actually thinking t'other night that there should be a 'circular' bus running around Leigh, basically operating from the LSV-Parsonage-Asda-B&Q-town centre and back to the LSV. Little wonder that our town centre is so poor because people just don't have a reason to go there any more, whilst also helping us on a matchday

That said, there aren't even any public buses to the JJB these days since they discontinued the 540 starting from Robin Park, so I'm sure they'd be priority one for council pressure

Still think it's a disgrace that fans are expected to fork out petrol money to drive to the LSV, not to mention having to walk in the rain from the car park to the stadium itself, absolute joke and I certainly won't be renewing my season ticket next season unless I have a person brolly-holder to escort me from the car park.

Some funny comments but think if any of you suddenly became infirm or worse dissabled. Take in to account we probably have fans that have no one to drive them to the ground.

Hence the very serious part of my post

As I have said many times before , a council facility for the use of and for the benifit of the council tax payers of the borough , unfortunatley from Roy's point of view he is no longer a local tax payer

How did they/would they get to Hilton Park?

There are probably two dozen disabled parking bays at the front door, a lift up to a viewing point in the West Stand which has the best view in the house, and more disabled toilet facilites than probably any ground in RL.

If anyone can tell me that Hilton Park was better then I would be suprised.

Forget HP thats gone. The LSV is all that matters and getting as many fans as possible of all ages, genders and abillities into there.
