I stopped posting a while back because I'm so far removed from what's going on in Leigh these days. However, I've probably got a bit of grace after Friday night, so, for what it's worth, I can see how attractive a summer Friday night game could be. My own "best" memories from Hilton Park are of games under floodlights - v St Helens in the 1981 Lancashire Cup sticks out - because I feel it adds to the atmosphere. My kids have absolutely no experience of Rugby League other than what they see on Friday nights when I am allowed my quota of the Sky subscription, and they absolutely loved the real deal. I expect there must be a lot of people who have moved into the Leigh area who have no RL background, and based on my experience on Friday, these are people who can be persuaded that it's worth going along to the LSV. Maybe there needs to be a more "expansionist" (sorry) attitude in and around Leigh towards the people who haven't been brought up with Rugby League, as well as those who are aware of the traditions or are involved in the amateur scene?

You'll not be surprised to hear I disagree

LSV is my winner.

As someone who stood around the 20m line up from the Scoreboard, in the Pizzing rain on too many an occasion, I can assure you I had loads of cold wet dismal days and nights at HP.

LSV.

LSV without doubt for me.

+1 for LSV.

Better acoustics, better facilities. Just not had many big matches there yet. On Friday, the place was rocking!

ah but they didn't throw as many bottles at Hilton park now did they
