At half time they presented a cheque for £500 to Leigh East to acknowledge their part in Sam Hopkins' development. Well done to the club

Brilliant that!

Agreed Demon and I am glad you have raised that gesture on here.

I thought it was great for the club to recognise the role of an amateur club in this way.

Very good, good to see us working with easts and other local clubs.

I have my moments....and the result made my 2hrs 20min journey from work up the M6 worth it

Fantastic gesture. Sam was awesome tonight, absolutely solid.

It was the best £10 quid I have spent in a long time Demon.

I am still on cloud 9. I'm so pleased for the lads.

Well done to the club.

This club is going places and will respect all those who help them along the way, did the meal deal tonight absolutely brilliant the future is going to be bright

well said Harold !!!
(see, I'm doing it again, being nice to you !)

Cracking gesture, well done to the club. Mind you, might cost a fortune to pay for each of the players we've had from the Leigh amateur clubs in the past!

Yes, it had been duly noted as well.

Oh my, I really must be talking sense these days.

I would imagine it's come out of the money Leigh have received from Wigan. Either way, it certainly should help to build bridges and encourage East and Miners to develop their players and send the best of them on to Leigh in the pro ranks.

No it didn't the BOD personally donated it!

Fantastic.

Well done to Andy and his team, long may it continue.

I can only add to what others have said - a lovely gesture especially if it has come directly from the BOD. Well done.

Excellent gesture and shows the club is in very good hands

Ive said before how good the TDC meal deals are good value , they should do them every home game , and try to get a guest speaker ,to Andy , Alan P , and Mo , well done ,as to the rest of the BOM .

What a nice gesture from the New Board i just hope they remember their is more than One Club in Leigh that deserves a donation just wonder if T.B and the Board had donated to the Miners if you Keith would have been singing their praises then (don't think so do you )
Lets remember new board Leigh Miners Rangers are raising money for their new club house will they be getting a gesture of good will

I can't comment about previous management as I wasn't part of them, but what is important is that we work together for the betterment of RL in and around Leigh. SAMs transfer will put some cash into the club soon but as a team we used our personal cash to thank east for their part in SAMs development, we would have done the same had it been any of our local amateur clubs

Now Now Harold don't push it

.

Exactly - If young Nicholson or Pownall had of signed for Wigan in similar circumstances to Hopkins then it may well have been Leigh Miners receiving the cheque last night.

You know me Charlie, I often speak my mind and obviously not everyone will always agree but I do respect everyone's opinion on here.

If I do occasionally over step the mark I will always apologise upon reflection and I have had to do just that to both yourself and Demon recently.

Anyway I'm looking forward to the Doncaster match now. My passion for our rugby club is as strong as it always has been.

Harold you need never apologise to me , im a Clown , I hope to see you soon , I respect everybodies opinions , even if I don't agree , we are all Fans as well as potential Coaches ,im just glad you are like me a true Leyther , who follows his team . good on yer



.

Great gesture and for me another example that we're heading in the right direction.
