You got them their, not that it ever seems to register with the fans of the future champs of SL for the next 100 years

If Leigh go to Wakey and [iplay rugby like we can[/i, then we'll have a great chance to win.

If we start doing owt else, again, forget it.

Wakefield should win but they are the worst SL side against the best Championship side riding the crest of a wave. It would not be a shock at all if Leigh won although I was surprised how much better Wakey were than Fax when we played them. It was like they were on a totally different level and although we were able to stay with them for about 60 minutes or so they were by far the better team. You could see the gulf in class between the two teams. I do think a loss is coming though for Leigh but all it will do is re-focus the team and would be bad news for the rest of the teams in the league, if I were a Leigh fan I wouldnt mind a loss like that in the CC.

A defeat in a close game would be far from the end of the world. I'm more concerned about the run of games that follows it, Fev at Blackpool then travel to Whitehaven and London. Would be some effort to win all three of those.

Anybody know how many Leigh tickets sold now ?

Last time I posted it was at 1200.

It's more than that, the problem lies at Wakefield, they can't print them fast enough

Printing them? There's 10 of us hand writing them!

That's the thing with all these new fans, no sense of history. I suppose we've all been there. It's not like you need to know your history to enjoy our great game........In fact maybe sometimes it's better that you don't.

Tickets arrived today


So how many have we sold pre match and how many do we think we'll take in total with the pay on the day?
What's the parking like at Belle Vue these days, seem to remember parking next to a cemetery last time we visited, its not all resident permit holders only like many areas these days is it?

Well over 2000 sold now might hit 3000 by weekend

I would be very surprised, no, gob smacked if we took anywhere near 3000.

3,600 at home v Fax.

Maybe if it were Wigan away, then more like 4,000, so 2000 looks plausible & likely enough.

Because you have a lot of coaches going, the police are likely to park them up on Sugar Lane next to the Cemetary, there are no permit holders around there and you'll just have to slum it and get where you can like the rest of us

btw I park on Barnsley Rd outside the Agraa Indian Restaurant and I won't be best pleased if one of your lot's nicked me spot, can't help you with your pay on the day fans though, you'll have to think of a number and double it

good luck with it all.

So its Barnsley Rd outside the Agraa , i'll be there at 11am


Thanks for the update, its been a while since I last visited Belle Vue (pretty certain it was a CC game that we got hammered in, hope that's not an omen).

Was contacted by Wakefield on Monday , the coaches will use the club car park , this was after we originally contacted the club 2 weeks ago , when we were told to use Regent road

Are there pubs near the ground...can't remember. Last time I went was in the challenge cup, when Neil Kelly fielded a 'weakened side' and we got stuffed ! The only other time I went, was when John Gunning 'ran them ragged' and we won easy.....happy daze !!!

THOUGH i do appreciate the CC game, was the last time we played them.

You would not expect him to say owt else happening cadged a lift on the team bus

Yes I went to the game that John Gunning made his debut and one he had a field day in. John Elias had his best game in a Leigh shirt. it was my last visit to Wakefield. I missed the Super League fixture and these days I very rarely travel away to Friday night matches.

The club car park is right next to the Cats Bar, and I wouldn't mind betting the stewards have had strict instructions to usher all your fans into the bar as soon as you get off the buses'

Leythers won't need much ushering to the bar chissitt.

So which is the West Terrace? The end or the side?

The terracing along the side, but there's no reason why fans can't change ends (or as near as you can get to it). Looking at highlights of their recent games, there was plenty of space in the covered stand behind the sticks which would be good for the atmosphere. Wakey have tweeted that there won't be any segregation enforced.

They also tweeted we had been allocated the West Terrace

They have to do that in case their own sales were high enough that they have to restrict movement around the ground but predictably enough that's unlikely.

The ' Lass ' at Wakey did suggest the Cats Bar was the nearest one to the ground and that they have some good deals on
