In that case what bucket collection

I mentioned it another thread, but surely it would be easier for us to put the monies behind the bar, not necessarily the rugby club bar and give them a night out on the fans, maybe hire a room for them at Leigh East or at Rangers

If the bucket thread goes ahead the I'm more than willing to do the west stand. as long as i can get back to the north for the match. I'll do it in the west at half time as well if needed. If i can help then just pm me the info and times.

Our lads waived a few thousand quid to help our club when they won the NRC. This collection is to compensate them in a small way for that not just to buy them a couple of drinks.

We will collect from over 2000 people on Sunday lets all put in all we can afford on Sunday we can organise a free night out for the players after we win the Grand Final

I know what you mean Frank but, they've chosen to give up X amount of pounds to help the club out, how much money do you honestly think a bucket collection at a home game will be bring in?
I think if the players were happy enough in the first place to give up their winning bonus, then giving them £47.63 each on Sunday evening is a bit embarrassing for the players, they're only go and spend it in the bar later on anyway. I'd say just give them a night out now, and a bigger one when we win the Grand Final.

I think Ian Millward might have something to say about a night out for the players mid season.

If you're seriously suggesting that players dont go out at weekends after games or after Thursday games etc I think you need a lie down.

They are part time players that play rugby around their work hours, If anyone is entitled to a drink at the end of the week its these lads. This is Leigh rugby, not Manchester United.

Bit strong that isn't Jimmy? Where do I suggest they don't drink. I would suggest that most don't take a lot in during the season hence the fantastic condition they are in. When I think of a "do" I think of having a good drink but thats just me. If there was maybe a 10 day break possibly but I don't think that IM would be too happy about his players having a "do" mid season and in the run up to the playoffs. Part time or not.

Anyone know what the bucket collection made ?

As one of the collectors I can't say the final figure. But all I will say is there was a hell of a lot more than what I expected at least. Littler has just told me on fb that the players are using it to go for a meal. So there must be a lot if its enough to buy a night out for them all.

I saw a few notes in when putting in myself what a great gesture from the fans

Aye there was everything from 1p's to 20 pound notes

All the players appreciate it. They said in the bar and RHP and Riddys twitter are just full of saying thanks.

TBH i've not been on here for a few days and did not know about the bucket collection although i was at Blackpool. I was in the west stand and did not see anyone collecting. There was a guy handing out leaflets but no one with a bucket, i would have dropped in a fw quid.

Nanyn's singing your praises in his tweets tonight too.

Certainly appreciated by the players.

Sadly we must have missed a few but well done TomG' Tommy Trotter' Roman Officer and Maz.

And to those that contributed well done to all.

10/10 for those who actually did the collections today

I was in the West / North section by 2.40pm and didn't see anyone collecting.

There was a collection in the West/South section.

We did not do the collection till HT.Like I said previously we must have missed some so I apologise. The collection did seem to go down well however and people were very generous.

I put in the money that one of the coaches did (Sharons coach), along with my contributon.

It is reverse psychology Charlie

The bucket came over to the North West stand just before the restart so he didn't have much time ,we passed the bucket along the top row to other end but sadly most of the stand was missed but couldn't be helped

A big well done everyone. www.leighcenturions.com/article.php?id=5465
