Whoops! Forgot the parenthesised asterisk.

Back in the day, there was a newsagent in Bolton, Bob Stott, that used to close up his shop on Friday evening and set off walking to Trotters’ games if they were reasonably close - such as away at Huddersfield!!!

In 1923, The Wanderers reached the FA Cup Final, the first at the new Empire Stadium, Wembley and later dubbed The White Horse final. A few days before, he’d left his shop in someone else’s hands and set off to clog the 212 miles to watch the match!

Surely (those with health issues exempted) we can manage a mile or two in comfy shoes to support Leigh on a momentous day.

“The Entrance of the Gladiators”, thanks Bongser, I never realised that was the name for this piece of music. I really miss the players coming out to this tune at Hilton Park - it is part of my childhood (I don't miss Hilton Park BTW).

Be rally good to do this I have suggest it to the club

Premier Sports will cover both semi finals on Sunday September 25 – now confirmed to be played at Leigh Sports Village at 2pm and the Millennium Stadium at Featherstone at 4pm.

They will then cover the Championship Grand Final on Sunday October 2 with a 6:30pm kick-off. It will be played at the home ground of the higher-ranked team.

One match from the first round of the play-offs will also be shown on Monday September 19. It means Premier Sports will have covered 35 fixtures in the first year of their two-year partnership with the RFL.

Let’s just finish with no injuries and see where it takes us
I’m counting no chickens
