Now we have the date, we need a huge following and it is a shared gate so Leigh RL will recoup half of what we take.

Let's get to work on this by lining up coach sponsors.

I am going to convince the + 2 that I brought along to the Featherstone cup match to see us again in the quarter final and come along with me on the coach.

Thanks Harold for agreeing to be the first sponsor! Very generous of you to lead by example and put your hand deep into your pocket...good man!

I second that Maple, a great gesture.









Salfordlad will be next I have no doubt

I think the directors have been generous enough and it's not needed the fans should put their hands in their pockets and support THEIR team .

Wish I could Mo but May is a very expensive month for me what with 3 away games coming up'not to mention the cost of cosmetic surgery' buying new clothes for my holiday and helping out my brothers and sister.

I never say anything though.

Totally agree, the problem is that freebies become expected and the norm, suddenly there can be a thought that the fans are entitled to it. It all costs money to do at the end of the day and it's one thing to suggest it, it's another to pay for it!

I hope it's something we can find sponsors for, but I don' expect it - money doesn't grow on trees!

Excuse me sir, no I do not expect freebies to be the 'norm'. No I do not expect the club to have handed me my free season ticket, my free cup tickets, my free LISA membership, or to return my additional donations I made to LISA when the club was at rock bottom or to refund the difference between the concession admission price and the adult admission price that I pay in order to help the club just that little bit extra.

If you also read the 'Free coach to Fev' thread you will see I quite clearly do not expect free travel to that game either and actually questioned the benefit of it

As I suggested the possibility of securing free travel to the Leeds cup game, your little dig is obviously aimed at me. If you kindly re read my post you will find I did not say that the club should pay for it did I ?

The intention is to target and find local businesses who would be willing to [isponsor[/i a coach so the club could actually[i make[/i money on the extra match tickets sold and to ensure our lads out on the park have a following befitting of the occasion and one that represents a club with genuine Super League ambitions.

If there are no sponsors forthcoming then so be it, at least the club tried to maximise the opportunity and in case anyone may be of any doubt. regardless if it was free, £2, £12 or £22 on the coach it wlll not deter me from travelling up to Headingley on the Friday neet.

Some folk !

How much are you willing to contribute towards one?

I am just glad some one else understands the concept of [isponsored[/i coaches especially where a shared gate is concerned Michael.

If anyone knows someone who will sponser a coach that's fine great but I wouldn't dream of asking the same sponsors to cough up,again .

Silly Harold
