Open Day this Saturday

Leigh Genesis' new home at Crilly Park opens it's doors this Saturday (10th July) as the club takes the opportunity to host their first ever Open Day at the Spa Road ground.

Beginning at 12pm, and with a 50p entrance cost including a free raffle ticket, supporters are invited to take a behind-the-scenes tour around the club's recently-refurbished ground to take a look at the impressive boardroom, gym, physio room and the changing rooms that will see Genesis boss Mark Maddox deliver his team talks during the course of the season, whilst also letting fans to 'pick their spot' from which they might want to watch their side in action.

There will be a barbeque and music, along with a bouncy castle and football-based competitions, including a 'Crossbar Challenge' and 'Beat the Goalkeeper'.

Mark Maddox and his first team squad will take part in skill demonstrations while a couple of unlucky folks will be finding themselves in the stocks and at the mercy of numerous wet sponges!

The open day will also offer an opportunity for supporters to purchase season tickets for the coming season, costing just £110 adults, £70 for over 65's and full-time students and just £20 for under 18's, as well as the chance to see a display of the club's new kit and pre-order a Genesis shirt of your very own at just £35 for adults and £20 for juniors!

Genesis commercial manager Andy Walsh will also be collecting any sponsor money from supporters who wish to contribute towards his upcoming 10k Leigh Sports Village run in order to purchase LGFC signs at Crilly Park, in addition to ones that have recently arrived from league sponsors Evo-Stik.

Think a huge amount of credit has to go to Rob Atherton and the social committee - thought the day was a huge success and hopefully the first of many.
