You'd be far better off worrying about the squad their bringing, not how many fans, it's the game that will get talked about, the attendance won't be important outside of Leigh

Club have just confirmed only 500 tickets remaining, which means we've already sold 1,500. We should therefore be looking at selling out the complete South Stand with circa 2,000 fans.

Great news, LSV should be rocking by 2.35 on Saturday.

Can't wait for this game, much more exciting being up against the odds than a routine win over some of the lower Championship sides. Bring it on!

Looking forward to the game with two great set of fans and a great atmosphere it should be a brilliant occasion.

Pretty incredible really, when you take into account, some of Salford's home 'gates'.

vickers said we had 2k allocated now Beaumont is saying the allocation sent to us was only 1.3k and Leigh have sold around 3.5k So I expect about 5.5k.

Close to 7000 or over....

Vickers has corrected Beaumont it was 2k tickets issued as vickers went himself to pick up the tickets.

I'd expect all 2k to be sold maybe more it's only Tuesday so I think we'll be looking at 7k by sat imo.

Good - good news JGR....

The South Stand holds 2,300 I am led to believe.

I do believe that all the hyperbole spouted by Derek & Marwan Karkrash has only served to boost interest in this fixture, that & the banter between both sets of fans.

I genuinely hope you all have a great day out, but without the result.
Whatever happens it will be probably the most talked about tie of the round.

Looking forward to it..Safe journey guys..

You can only sell 90% of a stand if un allocated seating. I understand north and west all but sold out with east opening soon, crowd will be similar to Bradford imo

Which leaves the other 10% open for pay on the day. Unless its set at all ticket for that stand.

Seems a very good effort by both sets of fans to me.Anything over 6,000 will be a good effort by both Leigh and Salford.

I agree, very encouraging pre-match sales for such an early fixture in a competition where attendances have in recent seasons been very poor. Lets not forget the unusual kick-off time and day due to Sky television too.

Just out of interest what was the crowd against Bradford earlier in the season and also, how many did the Bulls bring over?

Ps – you won’t have heard noise like it for a while inside the LSV, we’re quite a noisy bunch (assuming the results goes our way

)

About 7 and half thousand for Bradford with 2,000 from Bradford. The North Stand makes a lot of noise to winning or losing

so should be a great atmosphere.

Excellent. I expect a very similar following from ourselves on Saturday so hopefully you can break that 7k barrier again!

Hope so mate.

Unreserved seating reduces 90% of the permitted capacity of the stand. Regardless of when or where they pay.

It doesn't work that way, the unused seats are why it's unreserved seating, allowing larger groups to sit together if they are in early enough

Just bought my tickets for the West Stand ,I told Andy P that Maurice had sent me early ,he said tell Maurice it's a sell out now .

Gutted bribed Andy upfront not to let u in

Hypothetical question Moz.

Say just for argument that Leigh defeat Salford on Saturday & are then drawn at home to Wigan (a dream come true), would the the Club then continue with unreserved seating &/or could they switch to 'all ticket' ? If so would there be any benefit in doing this ?

I think I am correct in saying that the LSV capacity is 12,500 approx, if 10% of the capacity is held back, then 1250 would have to be walk up ticket sales.


For the Bradford match there was a lot of "Sold Out" talk about both the North Stand & West Stand, yet I stood in the North Stand & could see plenty of room in both stands & when watching back on LCTV. How does 'unreserved seating' affect the North stand ? Is 10% held back for 'walk up' tickets for the North Stand also.

The attendance of 7,500 was still fantastic IMO & I hope for similar on Saturday.

My understanding is its got nothing to do with walk up sales, to have a complete full to capacity stadium it has to have reserved seating ie tickets have to have a seat number on them and that's where you sit, un-reserved seating means you can sit where you like within the stand you have a ticket for, and because this will create possible movement within the stand it has reduced capacity by 10%, but this could still be classified as a sell out even though there will be empty seats due to its reduction. So in theory LSV could be a sell out even with over a 1000 empty seats.

I doubt the North stand would be reduced as you can stand anywhere any way................






except in my spot.

5,200 advanced ticket sales as at 5 p.m today according Leigh Centurions.

6 > 6,500 probable, maybe 7,000.

Wouldn't know, never sat down at LSV..Never seen the North Stand full either due to charlie caroli's training in carrying 3 on your shoulders should the need come about..
