It's what Leythers are as thick as.

To the tune of the Addams family

They’re Ugly and They’re Smelly

They come from Scholes and Whelley

They’ll rob their neighbours telly

The Wigan family da da da dah etc

[Clogiron]

A local game for local people.

Looking forward to my visit today 

As Frankie goes to Hollywood said 

" It's a long way from home , welcome to the Piedome , it's a long way from home " 

About 6 miles in total

[ShropshireBull]

Hope the crowd is significantly up for Wigan.  Panic stations otherwise.

Just because you are allowed or even encouraged to do sometging, it does not mean you HAVE to do it. Maybe, just maybe, the Covid situation may deter some paying spectators from attending.  No reason to panic. Its a dead season anyway.

Some fine but 5000?  Wigan would have budgeted for higher crowds so yes I am worried hope its back up today and people get the bug.

One red card apiece (Ashworth & Singleton) for handbags, so at least the sides are still evenly matched in numbers.

4th Wigan try: Hanley. Wigan 22  24 Leigh 6 min   1 min to half time. Smith 100% kicks.

Little known fact, but Leigh’s record holder for line breaks this season is one of their tackle bags. 

[JohnM]

oops. Wigan 28 Leigh 6 after Leigh stopped on the half time hooter with the ball still in play. Can Smith convert this one? No.

Looks like the Wigan player started that.

Just looked at the video, absolute insanity by Singo. He's been brought up to the Wigan standard all too quickly.

[Exiled Wiganer]

It shows the madness of playing matches when everyone else takes breaks - we just end up with suspensions and injuries. We could have 4 extra weeks’ rest by now. So annoying.

He did and a few others wanted it carrying on

No way there were 9000 there today , unless the DW holds 45,000 , around 6K
