Surely one of you can give the old dog a lift ?  

Should be a good atmosphere , can't wait 

[Snowys Backside]

Wire should be bringing at least 3000. Poor form if not. Even that Bus stop in Wigan had in excess of 2k by train down the A49 on Paddy’s day

No i wish, no pop just a bit of humour, I remember stations in Leigh, one in westbourne avenue in westleigh,you also have one in Atherton. I have no axe to grind as I was born and raised in westleigh and my brother is still a big fan

Just over 5000 so far. Warrington have tweeted that they’ve sold 1900, while 7000 sold in total.

Said all along if Leigh can average 6,000 home fans over the season demographically they are one of the best supported teams in the country, 6,000/42000 would equate to 14%, does any one other than Cas better this?

Still need another couple of thousand Harry 

[binosh]

Only East stand available now for this game I can see quite a few walk ups with the good weather aswell, it’s going to be some atmosphere in there tonight. The pitch looks like a Snooker Table, what a surface to be playing on.

Latest figures 2021,show Leigh with a population of 45000 and it's growing so yes the ratio is good (maybe a few on the border of Wigan could be enjoying the exciting play rather than relying on one player ). But the boundaries of Leigh,Wigan, Warrington, Atherton etc are now blurred with each town overlapping each other.

Our challenge is getting the locals who moved loyaltys during our turbulent times to return - my guess is at least 5/600 Leigh living Wire fans will be there tonight, as is the case for Saints and Wigan also.

A spell in SL will certainly help

As would beating the lot of them (their clubs not the fans!). 20-12 up at HT with the scoreline flattering Wire a touch it could be said.

[moorside roughyed]

Come on Warrington for gods sake!

Warrington are flattered by the score.

[binosh]

HT 20-12 and 2 sloppy tries conceded by leigh, Warrington only been in the leigh half twice.

Leigh have had 2 great tries disallowed aswell in Charnley and Odonnell

[Mapleyther]

All Wire this half! Great defence though. Can they keep it up for another 20?

Leigh looks like the real deal. I was expecting them to be fighting for SL survival.
