The Legends bar will be opened this weekend as a true RL Fans Bar.

The LSV have been fantastic in their support, transforming what was a fairly sterile area into a real nostalgia zone for fans.

The walls will be adorned with the legends of the clubs past in all their glory and the club will be working to provide that extended match day experience fans rightly deserve, we truly believe that our fans are the real owners of our great club and we want to make them very proud to be part of the Leigh Centurions family in 2014.

More about the opening to be announced later, but make a note of 12.30pm this Sunday.

Mo the Carolis will be having the Touchdown experience .

Great move, a real place to meet and chew the fat putting the world to right pre and post games
The LSV will at last start to feel like the home of Leigh Centurions, all we need now is a big sign on the front of the ground

That (the sign) I do believe is being addressed as per last months LISA meeting announcement.

And some say the closed season is a boring time on the message board. I can't wait for it get interesting if this is boring. Another great bit of news that my Dad is gonna love !

For a moment when i read the title i thought yes great news, but alas it wasnt the introduction if rel ale, shame as i know other clubs like warrington have real ale available, i hope in time the club/lsv will look into the possibility.

That is indeed great news Mo.

I always thought the Legends Bar was a great facility that was not being put to its best use ala Mick Martyn Bar. OK I know it does not belong to us, but I felt a trick was being missed.

Will be very interested to see the new place.

Great idea but I hope they improve the quality of the beer.

I will try it out though

Not many seem to know it is open at half time, always a queue at the kiosk for drinks yet you can walk into the bar and get served a pint straight away.

You've done it now that was a need to know and now they all know

So will these be up tonight when the LISA meetings on ?

If the launch is on Sunday and it's a match day thing then I would doubt it wouldn't you?

Thanks for the reply
No need for thecomments I was only asking nicely !!!!

Lynda, I think it was stated at the last LISA meeting that the pictures would be put up match days and then removed.

I just felt it was a rhetorical question that's all.

Cheers

Andy

Ok
I just was hoping to see them not sure if well mKe it there Sunday wanna wAtch footy pre match and they've not got it on I don't think

Right Guys n Gals, here is the running order for the Legends bar after a few last minute tweaks

Bar to open at 12.30pm with Drink promotions etc

Around 2pm we will have club Legend Mick Stacey performing the official opening followed by a quick interview of his Leigh career, a career that sees him still holding the club record for goals in a game at 15 with numerous other points records set by him in his career. Those of you who recall Mick will remember him as a points machine who served the club for 10 years before injury cut short his career in 1982, our championship winning season, at 27 years of age. A proud Leyther who was delighted to accept our invitation and I am sure he will have a few tales to tell, and we will give him a great reception.

The match day compare will be interviewing two current squad players unable to play, so its time to find out what really goes on pre season and what knicknames the new lads have picked up, also get those autograph books open and cameras ready because I am told these are the sexiest two players in the squad



There will be a quiz for the more intelligent fans, I am therefore excluded, and Rob Parker will be his normal self mingling with the players amongst the fans

Lets take advantage of this great facility as a real part of the Centurions moving forward, it will be fantastic to see it packed to the rafters, remember kids are welcome, generating a real buzz before our first hit up against the owd Enemy

Have a great day and lets raise the roof

Is the footy on ie has the bar got bt sport or sky ?
Just an innocent question ?
Be very sensible for the LSv to do so seeing there's now two games Sundays one at 1ish the other at 4 which clashes with our match but I'm sure fans would come in early and watch I'f available .

If there is entertainment on why would they want football detracting from a very well put together and educational quiz?

One wonders who is clever enough to entertain the fans in the legends bar with a marvellous quiz

Let's see watching some carpy round ball bloke roll around to the tune of bolero or watch Leigh legend open bar- no brainer we should even advertise the fact it will never be on

because other people and organisations use the bar for functions, meetings etc.. Dont shoot the messenger that's what they say

I and the rest of Leigh know that but (cue angelic music) THE WORD FROM ABOVE SPOKE.

It's a bar in a Rugby League stadium, putting football on would not be very sensible.

You would think so wouldn't you ?. But then again we are trying to tempt people to use our facilities rather than stay at home. We all know the good folk of Leigh will or can use the weakest of reasons or excuses not to attend . Now one argument could be that to make a fan choose between their footy team or their local RL team could be an expensive gamble when you may actually be in a position to give them both whilst increasing the footfall / custom in the bar. Then again one could also argue that the expense of Sky & the like for a bar would eat too much into any potential profits you could make. Personally i'm not that fussed about a game of footy on tv, but plenty of landlords use it as bait don't they?.

I struggle to comprehend some posts sometimes.
We have a home to meet, chat, have banter and a beer at long last. We have a great of the club providing his time to officially open the new look bar, we have a compare, a quiz and players being interviewed and somebody wants the footie on


I can see it now, ''Hey Mick can you be quiet there's a throw in for Utd''

To the rest bring your friends and family and join in the fun without the footie on - you will be able to talk instead, we are not trying to mimmick a boozer we are trying to create a friendly environment for our fans to feel part of the club, some will prefer a pub but that's choice. Get the players to sign shirts, have your photo taken and have a chat with them.

Enjoy your club, it belongs to the fans
