Now its confirmed England play sunday at 3pm I wonder if Leigh will ask for kick off time to be changed to keep and get fans to game, if club is approached I hope they think about it simply because as far as I am concerned kick off should still bet at 3pm.

We who are going will mostly be botherd about cougars first soccer 2nd. Te players would clearly have the choice but me personally 3pm is best.

I believe now that England are playing 3pm on Sunday, the Leigh game will be moved to 1pm.

This will allow Leigh and Cougars fans to watch both and also the players.

If they kept it at three they will loose hundreds of fans.

I expect the club will be putting something out tomorrow.

Common sense has to prevail here.

There will be many people like myself who will want to see both games, especially if we get the Germans.

The kick off has to be moved otherwise Leigh could end up with a drasticly reduced attendence.

Its going to be a 1pm kick off.

I agree with you 'girl power'. We actually went to Asda this afternoon - we felt there would be more excitement than watching 'roundball'! We'd obviosly missed the best bit, (i.e. a GOAL) as we only saw the last five minutes, which appeared to consist of England players attempting to compete with a corner flag!

Whens it going to be confirmed.

I dont want anyone to do what I did afew years and arrive for a game AFTER it had taken place because I didnt know the KO time had been changed.

Leighs along way to go for nothing.

If you get there in time, it won't be 'for nothing'. The last three visiting teams to play at LSV all won! ('Fev; 'Fax; and Batley)

I think he means he doesn't want to turn up for a 3pm kick off only to find it's kicked off at 1pm and finished.

I've e-mailed the club about it, hopefully they'll get back to me soon.

Spot on. Because ive done that before



Hunslet away 2006.

The KO time was changed & I didnt know.

Just had a look on the Leigh website and the ko time is confirmed for 1pm

Anyone who wants to stay to watch the Soccer game I would advice them to go to the Leigh East ARLFC clubhouse after the 'main' game, the beer is cheap, you will be welcomed and its only a very short amble from the main LSV stadium (it is on the same site).
Noddy is right it is a confirmed 1pm KO.
We are playing like a load of strangers at the minute so you have a good chance of getting the three points on offer.

Oh and dont forget its an all ticket venue so you have to pay for the tickets at the ticket office at the front of the stadium - yes I know its a pain in the rear but the policy isn't anything to do with the Rugby Club, its a council run stadium, and the stewards are jobsworths (well some are) as well.

Further to Fred Parky's post, you can park for free, anywhere on the LSV site - =#FF4000but not on the roads, where you will get fined/clamped. Any of the car parks will be fine, including the hotel - Park Inn.

Andy, Problem is that there will be fans of both teams will not get to hear about the k/o change. Contrary to popular opinion, not everyone has the internet, and this news has come out =#FF0000AFTER our two local papers have been published. I reckon we are going to upset quite a few, who will turn up for a 3 pm k/o!

If they were really looking to please all rugby fans and not just their own Leigh would have moved it to late morning like some other clubs, then at least we could have got home to watch it

Avebulls won makes a very good point Cas v Bulls at 11.30 am to allow the bradford fan chance to get home and watch game.

It seems a awful lot of trouble for one fan.

11.30 am kick off would mean we'd have to set off at around 9.30/10am to get there.

I dread to think how many people would set off still inebriated from the night before.

It makes you wonder, why this hasn't been planned well in advance. The World Cup was drawn a month before the Championship fixture list came out. Why couldn't a either/or scenario been agreed where if we won the group of got knocked out we played on the Sunday. If we finished 2nd we played Saturday night and it be published on official fixture lists accordingly.

goodun

This is the RFL you are talking about here!

Ah! Yes! The same RFL who organised a international match in the middle of a round of Super League at a ground with no railway station within 5 miles of it.

You're right

Atherton Railway station = 4 miles away
Daisy Hill Railway Station = 4 miles away
Newton Railway station = 4 miles away
all on major bus routes
can't see a problem myself?
realistically who would travel by rail anyway?

OK I'll give you the 5 miles away bit, but there are people like myself who don't drive who sometimes have to use public transport to get to away games.

Besides it's more fun than a car journey because you can have a few on the way.

Ouch!, rightly or wrongly you just quoted facts to stealth, the king of all facts, figures and statistics - god help you going forward pal cos you are going to need it, you have been warned!

The No Rail link was just a smokescreen for fans wanting any old excuse not to attend the International at LSV. With the exception of yourself, who by your own admission travels by public transport, I wonder how many others do this ? Not including derby matches but games with a reasonable distance to travel I`d hazard a guess around the 10/20% mark.
