Still doesn't solve the problem of those who reach the bus station but can't make it to the ground, as they'd be halfway there anyroad if walking to said nightclub.

Appn' they could use the same methods as they did when they went to Hilton Park?

The bus routes ran a lot closer to HP than they do to the LSV though. I agree with you to an extent as, if anything, I reckon the LSV is nearer to the bus station than HP, but we have to consider those who's pre-match journey isn't driving down the bypass or a 3 hour pub tour

You can get a bus to the top of Schofield Street, just as you could to the top of Chadwick Street.

Granted, it is slightly further to walk that the Chadwick Street route, but if you can manage that 3 or 400 yards then I'm sure another few hundred wont make much difference.

To be honest, if folk want to pi55 and moan about another few hundred yards then maybe they're not as bothered about watching Leigh as they would have you believe.

Maybe it's a matter that they can't manage those extra few hundred yards rather than wanting to? Anyroad, can't imagine 'Roy' is in that boat.

If like me you have problems with walking . the extra few hundred yards does make a difference

But I think people are just making excuses for not attending matches ,

The cost for putting a bus on from the bus station to the ground would have to go out to tender to the GMPTE and be a viable cost effective route for the bidder

Now as an ex bus driver and taxi driver the cost on a bus or taxi fare will be not to different at about £ 2.50 to right in front of the ground

Avacab is just across the road and give a 10% discount to Leigh Lifeline members with a valid member card , and the clubs sponsers JR's are just a phone call and minutes away

So no more excuses for not going

Well Alexs dad you can count me in , so you need another 4

4 in a taxi 60p each , its a bargain

So like Ive said before no more excuses

Exaclty Tis, if you want to get there you will. If folk want to find a range of excuses, they will.

We could pick some folk up at the front door, let them in free, give them the best seat in the house, and they'd still find something to moan about.

They'd give you free lobby then you'd start a 'carrots v no carrots' arguement
