Quote ="halifaxjohn"You knew your Dad?
You know Charlie I am very fond of Leigh. My son has a mate who'd Dad played for you and also Great Britain, he owned a lot of booze shops around that area, his surname is Smith but as yet I haven't found out his first name.
He is still going strong, see him when I go to watch one of my grandsons play Under 10 Rugby League, he is there watching his grandson.
Good luck tomorrow, you know how much I dislike the Seagulls.
My prediction, Waste of spaces 12 Leigh 28.
Attendance
250 from the land that time forgot and 600 lobby eaters.
The crowd will be announced as 1200.
Have a good day.

Surprising that , but yes I did John
another stalwart Leyther who first took me to Hilton Park in 1962 ,I was 10 years old , he loved Leigh , known as the Comics in them days .
I don't know anyone called Smith who played for Leigh and GB
.As for this afternoons game,im expecting a very tough , close game , but as Salfordlad says im expecting a Leigh win , not much in it , but still a Leigh win .I also expect to get beaten somewhere along the line this season .The crowd today will be a bit on the low side as the Seagulls are not that well supported , but the Leythers will make the noise , though im a very quiet man myself , it takes a lot to get me Aroused .
