Just announced it as over 10K so not the worst it could've been, what's LSV capacity?

You don't think playing in front of a crowd adds to the intensity and attractiveness of the game?

10k isn't too bad for this game but it hasn't been played at anywhere near the intensity we'll be exposed to next week. Thought the kiwi ref was pretty good today

The fact is it should be bad for this game. Would RU see 10k as a bad attendance? Would Football?

France got 10,313 for their friendly against Scotland which was being played at the same time.

Not really. You think either Tomkins brother would even consider going to RU if the money was the same as in RL, just because they could play infront of a load hooray-henrys at Twickers?

I personally look on with envy at RU and Football Internationals, hopefully we can create a good showing next week at Wembley.

The fact that you failed to answer the question is duly noted.

Completely disagree. The potential to play in massive international matches will be a big draw. The huge payrise won't hurt either

How can I answer a question about the mindset of others? I can only give my opinion and for me playing at Twickenham would be a much more attractive stage than 10k at Leigh.

Capacity at LSV is 12,500

Is it any wonder that there was a poor crowd on at Leigh when you have got sinfield at S/O. That selection certainly put me off attending.

The person who played S/O for the SL Grand Final winners playing S/O for England put you off attending? How fickle.

So here it is, the obligatory negative 'Crap crowd at Leigh' thread whilst the game is in full flow.

RL "fans" never cease to amaze me.

Can I point out that there was a full amateur programme today, kicking off at 2:30pm. Lots of people that might have attended the game were playing. Might have been a better attendance if it was an evening match that didn't clash with the amateur game?

Poor crowd and that is surely Leigh's last chance of hosting an international for a while. Crowds of 7k and 10k just aren't good enough and their clearly isn't enough locals (I include Wigan, Saints and Wire fans in that description) interested in international fixtures.

a tiny ground (albeit modern and a good quality ground) not even full looked awful on BBC. We can't expect our international game to be taken seriously with such small numbers.

this fixture should have been sold out weeks ago.

would help if there was a train station there

Atherton is within a taxi ride. And if its anything like Wigan, it's almost embarrassing when it comes to paying for a taxi, it's that cheap up there.

Also to add, where the RFL right to stage this game in Leigh just one night after a game in nearby Warrington?

How many Warrington, Wigan, Saints and Leigh fans chose to attend last nights game rather than today's?

surely one game in Yorkshire and one in Lancashire this weekend would have been a better schedule?

Stadium Capacity is 11,000 so 10343 attendance is not bad. Ques outside the ground, some people were caught up in traffic ques and did make it into the stadium till half time.

Aww bless hello tit............

It's true.

Did you actually get off ur rse and attend or have you just spouted the typical VT s H ite behind the comfort of your toddler chair....

A crowd of 10300 out of a capacity of 12k is ok in my mind but you might need to ask tb what your reply should be?
