I thought that 3700 seemed about right. I reckon that there was possibly 100/150 max from Fax, and the family stand did seem busy without being full.

And lets remember, there was no DR last year either. We loaned what we needed, not just what Leeds offered.

My kids always enjoyed Eureka at Halifax, that's an option.

Workington score a try to take it to 10 - 20, Fev have a man in the bin for the rest if the game.... 7 mins left... but they are certainly giving it a go. Conditions definitely a leveler

Summer rugby for you...

Workington score a try under the post which is converted... now 6 - 14

Was that the one where Hall was shown the 'Green card' hence having to spend 2 minutes on the sideline leaving us down a player for that period. Although this is designed to prevent players from teams feigning injury to buy time, as shown by this, it can punnish the innocent.

Away games thread According to this original thread they are.

Been watching last nights game again, when they went inside the Leigh changing rooms they didn't appear too bad, just a little cramped. Both Wakefield and I think Leeds were happy to use them previously when using the training facilities.

As for walking round to the stand behind the post's, there are no turnstiles or entrances behind there as I believe it's industrial units behind that stand.

Can't comment on the state of the dressing rooms in the 'Training barn' but they were used all last year as Covid protocol's dictated. Not sure that having a 'hostile' crowd to pass really makes much difference, wasn't aware of anything being thrown nor were there any announcements, which you would have expected if reported.

Hat's off to Leigh, more came than I expected.... but would have been more on a Sunday.

Pleased with that. Before the game I thought it would be close, but Fev worked hard for each other in defence. Conditions were poor, but I think they hindered Fev as much as Leigh, this Fev team like to throw the ball around, which they weren't able to do as easy tonight. That's now four players out injured over the last 3 weeks... hope we can get some back soon.

Did take part in the warm up, so guessing he was 18th man.

With BET365 Leigh get 4.5... which goes to show how close the game will be. Really looking forward to tonight, and it is supposed to warm up a bit as well. Hopefully there will be a large crowd as well... which just adds to the atmosphere.

I think the onus and expectation on Fev to get a win is greater than Leigh, purely as they are the home team. If the fixture was at LSV, the same would be said of Leigh. Either way, tonight's game won't define the season... it just put's more focus on it from the media.

I hope Featherstone have enough, and would had been more hopeful had it been in 4 weeks time. With 2 of our best forwards out, Joey having not played a game yet and Chizzy being in limbo until now due to the ban that was later rescinded, a few weeks would have been better... for both teams. For the neutrals, don't expect a classic... it's too early in the season and both teams will be better on summer pitches.

Just 6 games on Sunday at 3pm, obviously getting us ready for SL
