What kind of crowd do people reckon we will get? And how will we get on? No offence to Batley but I can't see many making the trip on a thursday evening. I hope for 2500 and Leigh to win by 18.

No more than 623 to be exact.

I reckon we should give them some credit, they convincingly beat us on sunday, and will be expecting more of the same this Thursday, plus its a major semi final they're in, and Sundays game has set up this encounter nicely! I hope they travel, when was the last time they made a semi final?

It's not their fans I doubt, it's the timing of the game travelling from Batley for a TV game on a thursday. If they bring 200 i'd be happy.

Agreed, it took us about an hour on Sunday but with the extra traffic you can add at least half an hour, we'll have the same problem against Fev in a few weeks, great watching the Thursday games on TV, but a pain in the for those trying to attend.

on Sunday we,d have had 500 or so Thursday itll be 200 tops. As for us apathy rules a couple of losses and a poor profromance Sunday will knock 1000 off what we woulod have had should we have won SundAY, Ill go for 2050.

I don't think Sundays result will have any affect on home support.

neither do i ! everyone seems up for the semi's. look at the hunslet turn out , we took loads!

I hope its a different team , different game and different result for the Leythers on Thursday , am working so will miss getting to the game but hope to catch as much as I can on Sky . C'MON LEYTHERS !

A cup (worth winning) semi final............. just a tenner for adult's to get in............if the people don't come for this............well time to pack in !!

big gaz needs to quit his job lol

anybody know how the ticket sales have gone ?

Hopefully people will still go, but some just need an excuse not to and us losing, esp the way we lost Sunday, could give some that excuse.

You seem paranoid about last Sundays result, IMO it will have no relevance to this Thursday, fans didn’t go to Batley in as greater numbers because they knew the team playing there would not be the same as the one in the Semi. We put a team out which should have performed better, but it didn’t, their Half Backs wont get as much space on Thursday with Taylor breathing down on them.

Or do you think Basil, will go with the same team and leave out, Taylor, Riddy, Donlan, Bibey, Paul and the 4 x DC’s?

hope the above is sarcasm



were gona tonk batley thursday night! and all the above will play (maybe not bibey) depends on how bad his hamstring was . i think leighs game plan was too see how batleys weaknesses were

maybe thats why millward was in the stand looking

It's my Dads 75th birthday this week so I've got him two of the dinner deal tickets for him and my Mum. Thanks to Annette at the club for helping coordinate that



Leigh win by 10 to 20 depending on our team

Looking forward to watching this , its going to be a good hard tussle , with you taking the spoils by 6 points . Good Luck and hopefully see you in Blackpool.

The Vicar

And me as well Ste, i think, tried to book it off but couldn't.

Have a few drinks for me, and sing loud, i will watch it on sky when i get in in the morning.

Can't see how the 4 DC will play, a number of them will be in the SL squads named Wed (I think), if that happens then they can't play Thursday.

More chance of them playing if we had played on Sunday.

Anyone know how ticket sales are going? Parky?

Heard a rumour that a deal was struck with the SL clubs to make the players available for the Challenge Cup games in return for them being available for the latter stages of the Northern Rail; not sure how true that is, mind.

Can't see the SL clubs agreeing to feck all unless it suits them - which the above wouldn't

According to Millward in the Reporter he reckons we will have all the Warrington DCs for Thursday plus Riddy, Taylor, Donlan and maybe Bibey

i think bibey will be the only doubt , wouldnt wanna rush his injury back straight away

No mention of the UNIT though
