I think this banter is all good fun. Highly unlikely we would've got anything similar had we drawn any other team. Well maybe Bradford?

I think it's a great draw for both teams.

Bottom of Super League and top of championship have never been so close. It is a great "grudge" match without any actual derby history. Both will want to prove something.
Wakefield have no excuses of injuries etc, we are coming out of that and are playing lower placed opposition. Wakefield won't have any of the "our players were cleaning windows before running out on the field" type excuses if we win. We need to win to prove our status in Super League to our own fans. It is a winnable game in the sense that we are the higher placed team.

Leigh will have no excuses of full time players were just fitter as they have a full time squad too and have probably got some players 1) that Wakefield would happily sign 2) are on more money than our players. They have some great form to take in to the game and have every right to be confident after beating a team that beat Wakefield earlier in the season (whether we thought we should have won or not). Leigh play a brand of rugby that will work really well in a cup knock out. They certainly go for the shots to use a snooker phrase.

I look forward to the game and hope both sets of fans get behind the game.
I'm sure both would benefit from the money of a full house and the kudos of the win before the middle 8 play offs.

Many thanks Poptart

I'll go into it now. Thanks for the tip and I'll be able to hopefully only read sensible, adult comments now from our fans and those of other teams.

Wakey have a bigger fan base than that, sunday 3pm and at least 2000 will travel from Leigh. Alternatively play it at LSV get about 7000 and make a few bob - can you reverse the fixture

Ignore Tigertroll. He likes to troll, albeit subtly.

We are the sunday tv game.

Sunday 17th may 2.30pm on BBC television

Bring it on for the world to see.

The club need to work hard to promote this one.
It will be a decent contest and we have a great chance of making progress to the latter stages of the comp.

Let's see some publicity and get BV rocking !

Of course, a couple of decent results in the run up to the game will help

Unfortunately what Pop Tart fails to reveal is, if another poster quotes one of the posts you are so desperate to ignore, I’m afraid it’s still there in all its glory.

I only know this as I have a small number of posters which I’ve placed on my foe list, spookily, they’re all Wakey fans, but as I say, if someone quotes them there’s no escape

.

Very interesting that.

With Wigan at home followed by Saints and Hull KR away to come beforehand i wouldn't get your hopes up too much.

A little bit of digging around on the Leigh site has helped me identify who Cokey is and one of their forum members has even supplied me with a photograph of him happily sitting at his computer.

........[size=85=#FF0000sorry Avenger, can't really leave that there, funny as it may be ......Poptart[/size.

I thought that was implied with my "unless someone quotes them"

He`s lost weight I see

Should be a cracking game in front of the cameras. Do I think Leigh can win - Yes but it will be a very hard game.......may the best team win.

Best and most sensible post I've read on both this and the Leigh board.

Is this post meant to be getting personal against me?

Sorry yes, I didn’t read the bracketed bit, I think it stems from my dread of algebra.

Anyway, how did you know I could read your post, are mods exempt from the foe list?

They will have their permissions as we have ours...For some mods they forget about that fact when posting..

Wish I could see a photo of you, keyboard warrior........

Leigh sold out of the initial standing allocation on the first day of sale yesterday and have requested more tickets from Wakefield

Why?

What do you think you could do?

you never know

Laugh at how ugly you are !
