Cream always comes to the top mate.

Great to hear and hopefully others will think the same. Any chance you can bring 3,000 mates on the way down?!


Speak for yourself Ian....never mind nearer to kick off, I'm hoping to be out by dinner time!




Believe Leeds pre-sales are around the 1,200 mark so far with any more tomorrow plus walk up - this basically puts you as the largest away support we've ever had for a competitive fixture at the LSV!

Really looking forward to going to LSV - One of, if not the coldest I've ever been was at the 'Coliseum' [sic a few years back.

Hope the weather is a little more forgiving at the new place.

Me and Henry are out at 2.30 mate to Wetherspoons for food, what i meant was making our way to the Goose.



See you up leigh mate, somewhere.

Just has a note to all this the harvester pub on the sainsburys retail park, seems to have closed for refurb or change of hands In the last couple of days incase any of you had decided to head for there.

I have the best of both worlds then,seeing world class players on Friday and then seeing a lot more on Saturday. Saints are playing on Saturday as well.

See you on Friday Ian,I had tears in my eyes hearing about Salford lads afflictions.

Ok mate don't put your Wigan shirt on though.

Every time I went to Hilton Park it was rainy and cold

I've just seen the weather forecast for today and it seems like the rain has gone though it will be cold and windy.

I'm soooooo excited.

Cold and windy in Leigh... never!!

As lionarmour87 said, I don't think I've ever been to Leigh when it wasn't cold and windy. The last time we went I spent about 10 minutes queueing for a beer and by the time I'd got back on the terrace the wind had blown about a quarter of my pint out of the glass. True story.

I'm quite looking forward to tonight as well, I think Leigh could give us a real run for our money.

Heard a whisper (from a not too reliable source) that Watkins might not play tonight - down to a last minute fitness test. I hope he's wrong.

Oh it's nice and snug in the stadium, the wind won't affect the fans too much.

(In saying that, we built it specifically so that the away supporters South stand gets the full force of it.)

It should be a good game, so nervous now though , sat at work reading this thread.
Theres some good pubs all in walking distance and if your coaches park on the normal coach park the Centurion will probably be the first pub you will hit, if you head for the town centre. Walk past in the oppostite direction of the Staduim through the bollards and down Etherstone street straight to the top, brings you out on St Helens Road, turn left and youll come to the Centurion , have one there and go over the bridge , youll find the GOOSE then near the bus station

Those on coaches are better off getting a beer at Leigh East, Park Inn or Legends bar which are all on site at LSV. LMR is a 5 minute stroll away. Ask steward for directions.

Sat in park inn, very nice recommend it! £2.50 a pint! Food as well!

We are now setting up at the LSV and there's more press here than at the Leveson enquiry!! We will be going live in about 10 mins with the Alex Murphy interview till kick off. Forgot to mention, go to www.leighlife.com to listen in.

If you'd have had the game on the weekend, you might even have got a few more there ...I'd have gone if it was a Sat / Sun

Who scored 1st? Leeds or Leigh!!!!

Sounding good ... 5 mins before H/T and we're leading 24-6

Hookers galore

...but still no Liam Hood

McGuire scored 1st after 10 mins

leeds.

Scoreboard looks good but scratchy performance so far. Leigh taking it to us...as to be expected but may run out of steam later? First couple of trys very much against run of play

Just as I expected TBF. They give it their all for as long as they can and keep it close before we run away with it, a bit like Fev v Wigan.
