Spot on about 1700 Fev fans yesterday but about 4000 when they played Bradford.

Second half Leigh v Bulls 30 6

Second half Fev v Leigh 0 36

Except for London, maybe.

I presume you saw enough to reassure yourself that neither Leigh nor Bradford will be troubling your team in the foreseeable future.

Well not at least till the middle eight, two good sides that won't be taken lightly if that's the case.

You'll have to excuse my lack of knowledge as I get up to date...

Which clubs are actually full-time then at Championship level?

Leigh, Bradford, London ...any others?

Those are the ones.

Not a chance in hell did you have 1k yesterday, you only brought 4 buses, the post office road end was not even half full 2nd half, 600 tops and I mean tops

It will be interesting, Alan. London should really be making the top four come end of season then.

Leigh will finish top and Bradford second. With a part-time team finding themselves very much in the deep end come the 8's, but also with nothing to lose.

Cmon Gingy ,there was easy 1000 Leythers at yesterday's game , I agree 4 coaches ,but plenty of cars went from Leigh, hope to see you for the return game at the LSV and at Blackpool.

Iv been going to that ground for 40 plus years and im telling you with 100% certainty never in a month of sundays was there 1k. see you in blackpool mines john smiths

Charlie only buys folk halves.

Sure we had over 500 in 'The Last Orders' before the game - must be great having all them Lancashire folk visiting and spending money - unlike 'That Bradfort' lot

That's it this year, the RFL funding is set up to get the top 4 teams to go full time but last year Fev decided to spend it on their ground and facilities instead (fair enough).

By that reckoning Batley must be one hell of a team to beat Bradford for 75 mins.

Wow....the 'shame of it' !!

I count I think 19 seats wide x 20 rows per section,Yes we were spread out but easily filled 3 sections if we were all together..Thats 380 per section which = 1140.

That sort of kills your 4 buses scenario..

However many it was you can bet your life it will be a bloody sight more than Featherstone will bring to Leigh

At least 1000 Leigh fans there loads of cars went down i was go smacked at the Fev fans or lack of them if I was in charge at Fev I would be worried about the downturn that seems to be happening

If Batley are one hell of a team, by your assumption Bradford must have played out of their skins to beat them in the last 5 minutes', only 5 games in and you seem to be getting nervy all ready.

We decided to remain in the seated DIY stand behind the sticks for the second half - to avoid being stood in the biting wind. (Wimps - I know!). We were of course joined by the Fev fans in the second half who had changed ends.

Although Fev were soundly beaten by a far better team on the day, their team did deserve some credit for not throwing in the towel. They just couldn't live with our boys faultless second half performance. They certainly didn't deserve their fans deserting them well before the end.

'The Walk' started around 68 minutes and by the time the final whistle went we were virtually sat on our own. If their season doesn't improve dramatically I don't expect them to travel too well to the LSV. The Fev club must be hugely disappointed in this response from their fans who have seen some very good times in recent years and who deserve better in terms of loyalty during their more recent financial challenges.

Charlie and friends were guests of Fev Chairman Mark Campbell,and we're looked after very well, Mark is a great bloke who lives and breathes Fev,I for one sincerely hope Fev fortunes change as the season progresses and I think it will when their 2 imports arrive,they will be up there at the e d of the season,they missed hooker Andy Ellis when he went off early in the game.But obviously I think Leigh will beat em at the LSV and of course in the Promised Land.Keep up the good work Mark hope to see you again soon.

Was initially a bit disappointed in the first half performance in that we didn't seem to do much but of course as it showed in the second half that winning matches isn't just about tries and our 1st rate coach clearly knows a thing about how to win games.
In that first 40minutes what Leigh had really done was tire Fev out with Rovers doing a lot of tackling that would ensure the fuel tank ran on fumes later in the game.
2nd half the only way I could describe it was classy, Brierley looks the best scrum half I've seen in a Leigh shirt for many years and the speed he moves along the line is frightening.
Moimoi is now warming up ably assisted by Barlow et al (is any forward better at moving the ball around than Barlow?) and at the back McNally is rolling back the years to the potential he showed which is now being realised.
With strength in depth (Platt played really well) and no weak link these are happy times to be a Leyther.
On the way across much talk was had of the 40 point lead we once built up at Fev as being the best performance we'd put in on that ground, On Sunday we racked up was it 36 unanswered points against a team that looked shell shocked.

On the performances of late Leigh have been absolute top drawer.

If the new stand behind the posts holds 1600 that was branded around by Fev fans before the game then there were most def at least 1000 in there in the 1st half. That of course depends on the 1600 capacity figure being correct.

5 games in 5 out of 5 wins, 2nd half 30 unanswered points, if thats 'nervy' I will take 'nervy' every game this season

Just to add to the 5 from 5 its also important to remember the quality of clubs we have played to get those 5 wins as for me its the toughest start to a league season I can remember.
Bradford & London at Home
Featherstone, Halifax and Doncaster Away.
A fantastic achievement to be at the top after playing that lot.
