I know we like to stand and its cheaper but to create a better atmosphere for the lads (who will hopefully turn up next week) are we all sitting together?
Even after last night I think we will take a good number of fans over, come on last night it all went wrong, next week maybe its our turn to get all those bounces of the ball and play to the best of our ability, surely it can't be any worse?

Yes, Barmy Army lads are sitting.

Think most going on coach too.

Suggest standing occupy the East side of the North stand in a similar way as we move to the left of the sticks towards the new stand at yours, should be a great atmosphere with 3000 plus on and I do fancy you on sunday due to our small squad and the injuries we have, plus the 2 dc's will be missing.
Another hassle free night at the shay for a Fax v Leigh game - thanks lads.

Early starters - Try East clubhouse, Penky and Fieldhouse old haunt, Leigh Miners only 300m away, Centurion pub will mix with a lot of Leythers and they do free food pre game, Park Inn on site does meal and ale deals, good Spoons at Thomas Burke and Yates in town with food deals also.

We're hoping the club will give the Fax fans a few turnstiles marked out for you, in the North End of the seated West Stand and the West side of the terraced Nortn Stand, so you're all together and we get a good atmosphere.

I hope they dont use the west of the north, thats where most Leythers come in and stand.

It wouldn't bother us surely for one game, just do like you said and mark the turnstiles Fax and Leigh.

I feel people are territorial where they stand, if we set up camp slap in the middle at Fax it would cause irritation - same would happen at Leigh so why risk it when 20 yards the other way creates great banter and atmosphere

you sure both dc will be missing? as cas out of cup. but spencer probably will be missing as he was in last round when at south wales.

DC's are Laithwaite and Spencer from last night, Brierley is here for the season

We had Bibey and Taylor injured, so they would slot back in if fit but Littler is up before the 'lets ban championship players for as long as we can' committee next week.

Parker and Duffy didnt come back on last night and we have a very, very small squad due to cost this year

I have gone for standing x 2

Get yourselves on the North Stand - usually more space to gather together on the easterly side. Should be a great atmosphere.

I'm still non the wiser, do i buy standing tickets or seating?

Most people are sitting and so are we I would go for seats mate lets all stick together for a better atmosphere for our lads.
We stood one year which was not the most pleasant experience but only after the end of the game when we had won we got some verbals nothing else but it made me think maybe best not to be in the Leigh 'end' in future so been in the seats ever since.

Did nt you win at the LSV last year?

Plenty of Fax fans in the North Stand on that occasion.

Leigh and fax fans need no seg. Pack the north stand out and may the best team win!

Agreed.

I was telling my mrs about Blackpool yesterday, when we left the stadium to find about 300 Fax fans waiting for us, to say 'well done' and shake hands.

Also spending the day supping in the Wetherspoons under the tower with a Fax lady and her family, daft as a brush she was, supposedly she's well known amngst you lot.

Top day out that.

Me and my lad will be sitting.

Blackers was an awesome drink pre-match, I loved it. The Manchester, both sets of fans in unison "are you watching Featherstone ?????" I've seen patchy bits of it on a well known video website but it really was sung with purpose. The Leythers are a good lot of speccies & their team blew us away on thursday but I expect things to be different in the cup game.

Can't wait till Sunday!!! Gonna be awesome atmosphere. Hope our boys sort their heads out from thurs. big game team? We need to prove Afew points if we intend on winning any trophies this year.

How many do you think will travel mate?

Fax will bring 1000 for a game like this, so 3k plus is a guarantee.

Really?

I hope so, atmosphere will be electric if they bring that many.

Don't think it'll quite be 1000, should be a good number though and the £5 coach travel will help!

We'll bring close to 1000 with the subsidised travel convincing afew to go that probably wouldnt usually.

Hope you do bring 1000! Have you sold the 500 tickets we sent? I predict 22-20 Leigh. Safe journey down fax lot!
