I'll go and watch him, now get Rod Stewart and Tina Turner and that will be great

Wonder if we could get Leo Sawyer back, His show at Hilton park was a spectacular and he donated millions...................oh wait a minute. I mean his show was a flop and he creamed thousands.

The Fratellis ?im sure they are related to the Carolis

Charlie has seen the Beatles , Stones , Diana Ross , Rod Stewart , Neil Diamond ,and Frank Blackburn

the only one missing now is Cher and I plan to go to see her next year , im not a big fan of Elton , but I may be tempted to go to see him .Get Rob Parker to have a chat with him about sponsorship .

As Mark Taylor has noted on Facebook, he is going to play Candle Int Wind, Don't Let The Sun Go Down on Leigh, Lobby Seems To Be The Hardest Word.

Personally, I hope he plays A Town Called Jubi-Leigh and Club At The End Of Tim Street.

Honest as ever Mr 'Laythom' - well that's how it's spelled on the official website!





- well done by the way

Extraordinary coup for the LSV to get someone of his reputation

Seen the seating plan and the pitch is going to get a bit of a pasting - seating from the 25 yard line at the south stand end all the way back to the North Stand

Well done to the LSV management on this - puts the place well and truly on the map

He's a great player is Elton -but only on t' piano

I'd love to go

That's what I meant, but 'reffy' must have seen a different meaning to what I posted!

And you reckon Elton John is in the past?!

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
