BLUES boss Chris Wigger has thanked Leiston fans for their support this season as the team head into the final three regular league games of the campaign.

Leiston entertain high-flying Halesowen on Saturday at the Watson & Hillhouse Stadium, on the back of one final long Southern League Central Premier division trip to Stourbridge at the weekend, a game the Blues lost 0-2.

"Our fans have been fantastic this season, both home and away," Wigger said.

"We’ve tried to give them something to shout about from the first match to the last. Nothing is over yet, but of course our chances of making the play-offs are reliant on other teams having a bit of a nightmare."

And Wigger had special praise for the army of fans that travel to away games following the Blues, many of those trips long ones.

"We have a regular group of fans who spend large amounts of money and a lot of time following us on our long away trips, as well as at home, and I know the lads appreciate it," he said.

"We have got to know them all on our coach journeys and it's made those journeys so much more enjoyable."

After Saturday's game, there is one away game left for the Blues in the regular season, but it's not such a long trek... to Lowestoft on Easter Monday.
