Greetings my Southern Friends , I'm really looking forward to our game on Sunday ,there of 6 of us Carolis attending , we are staying for the weekend and travelling back Monday,where is the nearest tube station to the Hive?And what line is it on?Thanks in advance , hope to see you in the bar before the game.Charles.

Hello Charlie, Canons Park on the Jubilee Line is the nearest station and no engineering works this weekend (this is a rarity). Left out of the station and cross the road and the entrance is about 150 yards down, it looks more like a small park entrance that a stadium gate. The path down leads to the bar, and all those coaches from Leigh park there!

Be gentle with us!

Thanks for the reply and the info , very helpful

.

I see that the referee for Sunday is Mr Leatherbarrow. I am sure that the Leigh players will be pleased to meet up with him again.Should be interesting.

***k, please excuse the French.

Leatherbarrow is a massive Leigh fan (supposedly

) so if you're thinking the penalty count against us against at the Bulls match was bad with Matthew Thomason officiating it'll be worse with Leatherbarrow - who officiated the Leigh v Fev game in Blackpool - then Gawd help us......

Absolutely !

There are more than a couple of referees on the 'circuit' who are lifelong Leigh fans, but Leatherbarrow isn't one of them as far as I know. He's born and bred in St Helens.

Thoroughly looking forward to the trip this weekend anyroad.

He is. And I can't believe I'm already on the officials case but suffice to say Leatherbarrow hated London, and if told to stay away from a big count awa from London he won't.

I think you are a Fev fan who was born in Scotland.

Will be at Skolars personally but good luck Broncos.

yeah he's coming on the Leigh supports coach on Saturday and staying in our hotel and coming out on the pop with us Saturday night. Get a grip if you play well you will win simple..

Well perhaps not just Leigh but Leatherbarrow has always penalised London more than any of the other Championship refs by a country mile - even when we were in SL he would ping us for anything. Of course this game things could be different

I will throw summat out there, it's a bit radical but you never know it may work.
Might I suggest the team stop commiting offences then the ref will not have to blow his whistle and penalise them, just a thought.

Ref can only penalise when players don't play within the rules of the game it's pretty simple really

Tend to be with you generally in your support for refs Micky, and I don't have anything specific re Leatherbarrow, but many calls are judgement-based, particularly re stuff around the tackle/ptb.

No Hock on Sunday. What a shame. www.therfl.co.uk/the-rfl/disciplinary/item?6462

Did realise Mr M, you were such a big Lamont Bryan fan

Also a bar by Canons Park tube station, come out of tube, turn right and bar about 100 yards up in row of shops etc

Its Called Moranos

Had his best game for us by far last weekend. Before that performance I would've been happy if he never played for us again. He showed on Sunday how good he can be.

As for beating 12 men, we have had plenty of practice playing with 12 or less but can't remember losing any!

Expecting a tough game on Sunday. You lot were superb against Sheffield at Blackpool

Bronc ref calls move you expect response how quick and what you do depends a lot on what tackled player is doing if they plant a foot and make effort to move and can't penalty, if they do flopping fish impression that's a different thing, defence hand on ball as player regains his feet penalty at least 3 last week were hands on the ball.

Yeah.



Maybe I don't watch/listen carefully enough.

Thanks for the info,really looking forward to the game,and to the weekend ,I think the game will be a very tough one definitely one to test Leigh, I've said all season somewhere we will get beat this year, it could be Sunday, but I hope I'm wrong,I take nowt for granted,I'm hoping Jack Hobbs can win the Derby at Epsom on Saturday and give me a good start to the Weekend.

Charlie, hope you enjoy yr visit to the hive, all in all its not a bad little ground and suits us at the mo, hope you bring a fair few supporters down and make a bit of noise, but not as annoyingly as that bloody drum the bradfurt lot had.
I hope we can overturn the odds and put in a decent performance against you, we have shown we can play rugby at Blackpool if we concentrate on that rather than playing a spoiling tactic as we did last week then it could be a good game

The Leythers are a very noisy lot, but NO drum ,we are a very friendly bunch and will bring a fair amount of Fans to make it a good atmosphere.

Thankfully Leyth don`t go in for the totally annoying Drum, I`d ban them. I was impressed with your showing v Seagulls and thought you might have turned over Bratfurt, so it should be a close game on Sunday.
