Massive Coup for our Partners LSV Co and massive for the Town, was told about this by the LSV chief exec in a meeting when it was still hush hush and thought it was a wind up.

Charlie your memory seems to be slipping, you seem to have left out a couple of what I consider to be all time greats.

Alma Cogan "the girl with a giggle in her voice" and the great David Whitfield "the singing brickie", if I say so myself David Whitfield was even more famous that Frank Blackburn.

If Wigan thought he could play hooker they will be hovering.

I wont be going, but to get one of the most consistent recording stars in the history of music is one heck of a coup for a town like Leigh, well done to all concerned.

Elton Loves his sport.

Could we get him to be intersted in some sort of way ?

Not a fan of his, but there are not many artists today bigger than him.

All we need now is to contact Eddie Vedder and get the great 'Pearl Jam' to play LSV !!

Get Elton down to a game while he's here is a must !
Marketing Dept please note

If the show is Saturday my guess is that we aren't at home that or the following day - so if we pull that one off I will say 'arise Sir Rob'

He wont come to a game he will be to busy touring but the alternatives are

Present him with a framed signed replica shirt, also present him with two full kits for his kids hit him in the heart in other words, make him an honorary life member of the club, LISA to send him a letter telling him how lisa was formed and what they do and make him an honorary member or ask him would he take the post of Honorary President? so he may ignore it but what if he sends a cheque back for a grand or so? all for the cost of a bit of time and a stamp.
As a club we cant afford to lose this opportunity, if it doesn't come off well so what its a few quid wasted on a good cause.

For those who want to try and get tickets ENTS24 is a great site to use,always get my tickets of them.

Apparently all the corporate boxes were sold out within 2 hours this morning - at £2300 per box (for 10 people) that's not bad going.

Can't LSV invite Clive Powell along (EJ and GF must know each other?) and then donate their small change to the team - say £50 Grand apiece

I would be very wary of a big name like Mr John comming to the LSV. It's either that the venue is cheap to rent compared to others or cancellation is even cheaper. Loss of voice is akin to weather insurance in my trade and if they don't have it kiss goodbye to your money. Just saying.

Well if they sell 10000 or so tickets plus the Corporate boxes (already sold out) that's almost half a million.

Should Elton decide to cancel I am prepared to sing a few songs' always provided I will be able to get the 10 o clock bus home.I hate having to rely on the last bus.

I understand it has a 20000 plus capacity for this gig, and the boxes were £5k plus vat with corporate at £200 plus vat per head. It will be sold out before Sunday

And 11% of LSV's 'profit' to Leigh Centurions ... Right?

Got a phone call this morning from an ex work colleague who asked me to get him 4 tickets 4 this event. I asked another friend in Leigh to book them online. Seems all the £45 tickets are gone so he got my mate in Manchester the 4 tickets at £268.75 including postage



I told my ex work colleague and he said fine. I then told him Leigh Centurions are cheaper and better to watch if he ever wants a ticket for one of our games.

Lets now hope that that they can get Leigh's very own Lottery winners as a support act and we've cracked it, now there is a band I'd pay good money to watch ,good mates of mester Parker too I do believe

Not sure they're entirely the same sort of scene. Would be great if we could get the Lottery Winners or Jeremiah Ferrari to play before a game at the LSV though.

They played at the o 2 day d

Got my tickets today -Ticketmaster a pain in the ass, but are you saying that if he cancels ticket money may not be refunded

If there is a 20,000 capacity and with tickets going at £45, £65 and £80 pounds as well as the corporate side this event will probably gross app £1,250,000 (yes million) then throw in the extras it will come to quite a sum.

My niece could only get the £80 (gross £90) today at lunch time, I have just been on the Park Hotel site just to see if I could book a meal prior to the match(I will be there) and I noticed that all rooms are fully booked.

Should be quite a night. Well done Leigh, I hope the club get a good payday.

You have to apply for your money back and if the promotion company goes belly up, you are then a creditor. They rarely get paid. Maybe just that the venue is cheap who knows.

That's why the tickets I have purchased are on a credit card.

Have to say however I think the idea that any pop star would pull out of this now especially when this one is told about how the sale of tickets for this event are going.

Are you a 'ticket tout' Frank ?
My mate says that you love "Motorhead, Anthrax & Metallica".....WEIRD

It won't be ruined they cover it and it's seating at floor level not standing
