Well it's nice not to be playing a Yorkie team for once. Swinton had in excess of 700 on yesterday, admittedly including some Batley fans. We had 1700 on, so what does everyone reckon we can hope for? The fact Swinton had a good win and it is a Good Friday fixture, should boost the attendance. What do we think?

Think the attendance will be harmed by the ridiculous 12pm kick off time.Surely an evening kick off would have been more beneficial.

1850

OK then who was hiding about 500 fans on Friday?

The noon kick off is ideal.

I can see where you are coming from reffy, but I am just going off the official crowd figure for Leigh.

I am hoping we'll get 2000ish

Think we'll get over 2k, it worked last year with the lunchtime kick off.

I've no problem with the lunch-time KO, but to be fair, last season's Good-Friday fixture was later in the month, we were on an unbeaten run from the start of the season, and it was cracking the flags!! The fact both teams won over the weekend, and both clubs currently have the same address - making this the 'localist' of local derbies - should help in selling the game though.

Barring the opportunity of drawing Pies/Wire/Saints/Widnes in a latter round of the cup, this has to be seen as our 'marquee' fixture for the season (especially as the only other team in our division who will bring any sort numbers with them - Halifax - is now a Friday evening game, thus impacting on travelling support), and any crowd below 2k has got to be considered a failure, 'cos this will be the attendance that 'levels up' the season average!!

We've got to pray for 2.5k!!

Well - with everyone travelling 'home' for Easter (petrol situation allowing) we should be bringing an extra 8/9 with the usual 6.

12 noon kick-off is the perfect start to the family Easter weekend.

it will depend on how many freebies our generous club decides to hand out surely

Peawapp do you know something we dont ?I was led to believe the days of freebies were over



.

He's peeved because he has no friends to invite him into a corporate box.

topleyther knows nowt ,actually in my very very large circle of friends I am known as Mr Popularity plus

The days of the freebie are over unless you begrudge the team getting a free ticket - oh and I believe the referees get in for nowt too. Disgraceful I say - make them all pay!!

Is that for hardening or softening the stool

12 noon kick off suits me, but not others.

I agree with WMFC 100%

how about the people in the North stand who are entering the ground displaying a concession ticket which are not being checked properly, and who are in fact nowhere near the age to be claiming a concession .that surely is worse than getting in free as it happens every match ,now that's what I call disgracteful

\\\\\how do you know his has happened

And why don't you point it out to the relevant people

Suits me also can go to the pub for saints. V the pies after our match

Cause like as usual he's all talk and no action.

And there's me thinking it was LSV staff that manned the turnstyles, when will people get it through their thick skulls we just rent the ground we don't operate or own it

after all it's only been three seasons.

Back on topic...

I'm quite enthusiastic we'll get a decent turnout, Swinton don't have a load of season ticket holders so paying on the gate won't put them off and they've had crowds of around 700 for far less attractive fixtures than a Good Friday derby with us.

Weathers supposed to be better too.

as I have pointed out before on these pages topleyther knows nowt, do you really think that I haven't pointed this out to the relevant people ,because I have everyone on here knows that for years and years people have been getting into Hilton Park and also the sports village without oaying and it's about time it was stopped .
