We all knew todays game would be very hard , after Wednesdays game , the lads very tired and rightly so , we scored 3 tries from fortunate rebounds today , but they all count ,its still 3 points to our tally , Charlie doesn't want Swinton to go down , so im happy they received the predicted Bonus Point

, I thought they played OK , for me Duffy is not up to this level of rugby , but still a win , and no Bonus Point for Fax means we are now ahead of them .

Fridays game at the Don V ,is massive , though we will have to improve , it can be done though , CMON you Leythers , Charlie will be there .

3 out last 4 games at home....easier run in, than ours.

Well well well Never thought Fax would have lost today till I saw who their ref was today








Not saying he didn't ref it fairly at all, he always does.

Lynda we all know Warren Turley is a Gentleman

a credit to his Family , though I was surprised Fax lost today , 3rd place is ours on Merit at the moment , Fridays game is Massive , but we are now in the Driving Seat

IF we win our remaining games it doesn't matter what Fax do , Charlie knows

.

Think we will finish fourth

I think we'll find out on Friday where we'll finish.

No doubting friday at sheffield will be huge, i urge all those who dont usually :go to away matches to try and get to this one, the effort the boys have shown deserve our support. I shall be there, and it wouldnt surprise me if we came away with the win, this team can do it.

Third or fourth, it will be a trip to Featherstone or Sheffield, to start the play-offs!

At least Sheffield are in the same boat as us - it will be their fourth game in twelve days too.

It is, again I hope our support is good Friday as It worked in the Final for us to beat them, due a change of job, i now finish at 2 on a Friday and can go on the coach now!!!!!!

What was the crowd today?

1617

Another nail in the coffin for Sunday afternoon games.

It looked much busier than that, if 2000 was announced I would have thought it about right
Never seen as many folk around the ground pre match

Well after much Leyther baiting congratulations on your win.
Fortuitous to say the least especially for three of your tries.
Good luck in the run in and I really hope Leigh go on to win the playoffs.

Thanks - good luck to Swinton in the relegation dogfight - it's going to be tough..teams seem to be picking up points all around you..at least you got a bonus point today..

of course it is, we,d of had house full signs if only it had been played on a friday.

Also, of course, visiting fans would flock in droves too









He was the dude that said he'd stopped going , cos he was bored



So why would he go on any other day?

Fortuitous tries - rubbish! Have you any idea how long Riddy practises those 'one-twos'? Of course, in training, he uses wheelie bins!



Seriously though, thanks for the good wishes - and the same to you guys in your battle against relegation. It would be good to retain a local 'derby' against a club from within 60 miles!

Nossy ,I agree plenty of folk round the LSV before kick-off and in Legends bar , but inside a very poor crowd , what do Leythers want to get them to attend ?Marshy I agree about our tries a bit fortunate , but that's life they all count , I for one would hate Swinton to go down , good luck

.

Well I can honestly say I'm glad you came away with the bonus point ,I do not want Swinton to go down !

Cheers Marshy, good luck in the run in, I also don't want Swinton to go down.

Attendances are a tough one Charlie. Just one observation from yesterday was that it cost 33 quid for one adult , one concession and a child, factor in golden gamble drinks and eats and the best part of 45 quid has gone.
Leighs adult price is 18 seated at Swintons games that same ticket is 12 if bought prior to match day. The kids ticket cost me a fiver and again for a Swinton game 2 quid. Surely there shouldn't be such a disparity in prices and it may just be one of the reasons.

It would have cost you £32 at Fev, £28.60 at Sheff bought in advance online and £36 at Fax.

It goes deeper than the pricing though, Marshy. (in my opinion) I have been doing an analysis of Championship club attendances, in the programme this season, and they are all way down on last season, with the exception of Fev. (up to the time we played them)
