Thanks to SKY we are being supplied free coach travel to Castleford away , details are in the ' sticky ' at the top of this page , I'll keep bumping this message , be aware that coach tickets are only available from the LSV ticket office after purchasing a match ticket

Just bumping it up but also a bit more info

If you book your match tickets on line and require coach tickets you will need to follow up your e mail with a phone call to the LSV ticket office , they will then then allocate your coach tickets and send them out with the match tickets

Be aware that there will be a deadline for booking coaches so please don't leave it till the last minute

I am already getting a little excited about this match and it is still over 5 weeks off. When it comes to all things Leigh RLFC, I am still like a little child at Christmas. It is all I ever talk about.

It is the passion, you never lose it. You really don't.

I know what exactly what you mean Harold.

There are those amongst my 'nearest and dearest' who reckon it's all I talk about too. At least I know there is a 'like-minded' soul I can turn to, should the family stop listening to my Leyther-obsessed ramblings!

I watch the recordings on my sky planner of Leigh games dating back to 2011 that even my other half says she can't wait for the season to start again.

7 filled , no 8 booked , a decent following to Cas

Well done Leythers. See you all the week after at the LSV

Plus coaches from other places

Strange if folk are willing to pay when there are freebies ?

Not that strange really.

Yes whilst price will be the main driver for most, it will not be for all.

Other factors will matter more to some ie convenience of departure point, time of departure, comfort, on board toilet, time you want to leave for home,travelling companions, the reassurance you are travelling with gradely folk, if you are going to be sat in front, behind, accross from some foul mouthed drunken lager louts etc etc.

The list is endless.

However 8 coaches full suggests most people prefer free travel but possibly not everyone.

Whats the deadline for booking coaches? Seeing we are still 3 weeks away from the fixture,and what will the deadline be for further fixtures that are switched that will may only carry a matter of days.

Don't think they get switched at short notice in the regular season, cup runs and postponements excluded of course as the Sky schedule is already laid out

Coach tickets still available at 1.30pm today.

Great to see that your likely to bring a decent following,anticipation for this game is gathering momentum for both clubs and I can see a crowd of 10k+ for this game. Always a great atmosphere under the lights at cas and this will be no different. Let's hope the weather is kind.

You mean the deadline for booking coach tickets , providing we can still obtain coaches the deadline will be when the match tickets are returned to Cas , most likely a couple of days before the game

However it is getting more difficult to find vehicles given that many are used for ' school runs ' and this impacts on their availability

We are currently speaking to more coach companies , if a deadline has to be set we will speak to the club 1 st and then make it public

Thanks for the feedback Starbug.

On coach 9 now we have 10 currently reserved for us
Availability is getting hard now in fact a couple of coaches may have to leave slightly( 5-30 )later due to getting back from school runs
That could help our fans who can't make 5

Bump

Booking 3 seats tomorrow

Sounds like you'll be bringing a good following. Like braytontiger has already said, under the lights at Cas is always a good atmosphere. I predict a cracking match, your first game back in SL and us wanting to get off to a good start with top 4 ambitions. Should be the best game of round 1. Get those 10 coaches filled, be great to have over 10K on SKY Friday night first game of the season. See you all on the 10th, its gonna be a belter of a game! If some of you are across in time, look forward to seeing you for a pint or 2 in the Boot Room before the game. Welcome back to SL

Bump

Fantastic following with 9 coaches going as per this thread and those going by other minibuses, car etc. Big well done to everyone making the trip.


Cant make this one but I am going to take half a day off work to watch it live on Sky (noon kickoff here).
I am there for the Leeds and Saints game though. So I will do my bit to sing it up in the west stand next to my Dad.

Think Lynda posted 11 coaches virtually full and one to go, not got our tickets yet and plenty won't be going on coaches like us who will be setting off about 5.30

Cheers Caslad75 !
