| Genuine question and one that I have often thought about is does the Att figure given out include everyone in corporate & TD club or just the ones who physically go through a turnstile ??

Should - and I believe does - include everyone including Corporate and Touchdown.

Alan,
I thought one of the tactics in rugby was to tackle the opposition to get the ball off them eventually...not just wait for them to get bored with scring tries. But, hey, for the rest of the game, Leigh looked good, so let's not detract from that and put it down to a temporary blip which hopefully will be sorted out before the real games start
From the North Stand there didn't appear to be any Wigan fans in the West Stand. They must have been very quiet. South stand obvioulsy had a few, but again they were quiet.

Definitely lots of Wigan fans in the West. The reason they were quiet is that they, like the Leythers in the West, are the more refined type of customer. Again, just like we West Stand Leythers, they were far too busy eating their prawn butties, (or pies in their case) and it is considered very poor manners to speak, let alone shout with your mouth full!

Wigan said they would send a strong side, not their strongest.
How many would have moaned if Wigan had played their first team and won 60-0 and what would Leigh have got out of it?

I agree it was a strong skilful side with plenty of power & pace and gave Leigh a real good workout that 15 min spell just after half time will do Leigh a world of good in the coming months

| 2,988 is OK. I was surprised to see this was the attendance, only thought half that would bother. I didn't go, and I don't really know anyone who even considered going. They are only warm up games and will all be forgotten about by the time Leigh and Batley run out on to the pitch on 16th Feb.
As for expecting a full strength Wigan side? When do they ever send a full team in this annual pre-season match?

Agreed.
I was initially disappointed at Wigan's youthful selection. However, as it turned out their selection was spot-on to make a good contest out of it, and I too feel that both sides would have benefitted more as a result. Leigh were certainly given plenty to think about, and Wigan's future looks to be still in good hands.
