As is Leigh pay for 4 coaches, Widnes pay for 4 coaches. Its a split gate so everyone benefits from an increased away attendance.

So Leigh are paying to bring Widnes fans over? Really?

Apparently so, well, half of them anyway. Read Starbug's posts on the first page of this thread.

Though he did post that as a suggestion on Leigh board Sunday yet now O'Connor has done it he's put 2&2 together coming up with 5?

No I reminded Alan Rowley at 2 o clock on sunday via text message as i was on my way to the game , I recieved a reply afterwards calling me a ' mithering b,stard ' and confirming that Mr O Connor was ' Up for it ' , I replied " You'll only need taxis now "



Believe what you want , this is the 5 th time i'V suggested this

The 1 st time was our very first TV game at the Halton stadium , and the club has also tried with Barrow , Keighley thought about it for their televised game against Batley/Dewsbury , but changed their minds at the last minute , also Fax have shown interest , but I think with the North stand being out of commission put a stop to it

If it is a success I have it on good authority it will be brought up at the next meeting of the Championship clubs as a potential idea for all TV games as an atmosphere generator , better than having a singer and some fireworks dont you think ?

It was Steve's idea mate, like he said he has suggested it on a few occasions.

how many coaches have been sold now then ? and with that in mind whats the realistic attendance we can expect ?

Just bumping this back up in case any Widnes fans log on looking for info for thursday

Apparently 1800 match tickets sold already



Wonder if Leigh will match up

Great effort, hope your source hasn't added a zero on the end by mistake!

If that Match tickets and not just coach buckets too will be 2,000 easy. None of my lot have got tickets yet and I bet many more innthst front.

How big is away stand? Wanna swap?

Think it holds about 2,500 (minus 10% for unreserved seating) so would be great to see it filled! When Wigan filled it the other year they were allocated some of the East Stand, though I suspect you would get extras in the West Stand so that you're opposite the TV cameras.

To be fair to Starbug, free coach travel arrangements between clubs has been something he has championed for two or three years now, but no one ever wanted to play ball

Just booked some more lads on and upto coach 5 now which is very good for a TV Thursday game as I think a lot are still driving!

Good effort that mate, like i said before i think you brought 4 coaches for the last game.

Dont get me wrong, we'll bring a lot, close to 1000, but we wont fill the stand

There are plenty of people (me for one) who try not to watch a match from one of the ends, I'll be in the same stand as the Leigh fans at the side.

think you should all go on the coaches and stop clogging up the car park.....ungreatful gits



think i will be parking at leigh east!

Good luck with that mate!

shoot! the roads closed isnt it? .....sainsburys it is then

7 coaches altogether now apparently!

Still a bit debating if sticking with mine or jumping to the Goose mate, time & money not on the plus side unfortunately!

7x50 about 350 there as a start I reckon so not too bad at all, well done to ALL involved

It is a good effort mate no doubt, have you still got my number mate, if so give me a ring if you decide to come to the Goose, have a good night whatever you decide ok mate.
