23,122 and they wernt cheap tickets, so I dont see your point. However I do think its right to play this game at Leigh, aiming for 10,000 is about right imo

Fair enough I see your point, I'm not the best to comment on Leigh having never been to the village.

Part of me though would like to see Rugby League grow into a sport that is capable of attracting at least 20,000 to a game like this, football or no football.

I might go if I'm at a loose end on Saturday evening but I probably won't. Hope that helps.

any news links on how many tickets have been sold, been very quiet

its a shame it clashes with sl games on this weekend also. should of bin no sl games this week. absolute joke.
we all know we gonna batter the frogs , so whats the point of it, 3 of our best players missing , gonna cost us 2 points, can see it coming, joke.

Never a truer word spoken

Went to get my ticket from The LSV on Monday, he said that they have sold 600 tickets through the stadium and 6,000+ on the internet.

Leigh is easy to get to from Wazza, the 19 & 28A both run right through the night so you can stay about for the football.

I have watched two atches at the stadium and it is a quality ground.

20 odd thousand at wigan is a good crowd but the away end and the side the players come out of was no where near full.Not having a pop just saying that it would look even worse at a bigger ground. Its a shame its on the same day as all the rest but Leigh is the ideal place to stay and watch the wendy ball game,loads of places so get ya asses to the game

Don't let me be the only person in Leigh with a Warrington shirt on =D

You wont be

I'm not going can't be d.

How many will be going to the England v France game at Leigh Sports Village?

Dan its ok you will be stood next to me in my Leigh shirt haha
Few interesting points on here, I live in Warrington and manage to get to the Leigh matches on a sunday no problem.
Also the pubs are good and cheap. Playing this game at W*g*n would be stupid as its better to fill a smaller stadium and you can all leave ur stab proof vests at home haha

How did I become mates with a Lobby Gobbler





England RL shirst are just £25, tempted to buy one today.

If people are rugby league fans, they will chose going to watch their club Captain play for his country over watching the overpaid and underworked any day of the week.

If people would rather watch football on telly than go to a rugby match, international RL has a serious problem.

I know thingbs are tight financially atm and the Challenge Cup doesn't help, but lets get a deccent primrose and blue turnout tomorrow!

Ah, the old "If you're not going to the international, you're not a true fan" argument. Booooring.

I'm a true rugby league fan, however I'm also a football fan. I won't be going to Leigh, I will watch both games on TV. There is a perfectly good reason why I won't be attending, but I don't have to explain myself to anyone.

Exactly...I have been to at least one and sometimes two of every Test series,Tri Nations and Four nations since the early 90's....So i hope all these preachers will forgive me for missing this pointless mid season international....

Although R.L. is my number 1 I too am a football fan and i will be watching both games on the telly....

Because I'm a mad rugby fan and am also never out the pub haha

I want one,but they'll be disused after the four Nations probably.

Mitchel hates the wire, Mitchel hates the wire naa naa naa na! Haha

what will be the point of going to an uncompetitive, boring rout where there will be no atmosphere when i can go to a world cup party, watch said game then watch a competitive and potentially awesome match with a load of mates all having a laugh?

Why two threads ?

I don't know this guy



Went to soccer sports and they didn't have any, yet plenty of Union shirts. Bit of market research never goes amiss...

nowhere did I say people wern't true fans, I was pointing out that there is a problem with international rugby league if the North West cant find 10,000 people to watch their national team

Yuo won't catch me going to a pointless international. People shouldn't turn up to show there frustration at thr RFL for mixing t with this weeks SL games.
