Really nicely written article, I don't share your confidence that we'll win by ten, but your research and prose was spot on.

The flow was good and you got across your passion and knowledge for the sport.

You knocked my list.

No one will go here now.

Plus, I've called Sarah seventeen times, the first few she agreed to go on a date with me to The Comfortable Gill, but after that she scorned me.

Avoid this institution at all costs.

George and Dragon in the town centre next to bus station real ale £1.69 a pint and a choice of a few, and good ale too. And only 10min walk to the LSV.

With the exception of Campese I think we are fully fit. Potentially the strongest side we've had to pick from all season. What do people reckon, think Allgood needs the game time to get some fitness under his belt, Chester could be tempted to bring Cockayne back into the mix whilst resting Donaldson in favor of Blair with Chisholme coming in at 6.

19 man squad is going to be interesting Would imagine some of Saturdays heroes will be jaded so maybe worth shuffling some bodies.

Cockayne, Allgood, Burke, Cox, Ollett, Chisholme, Greenwood all be busting at the seams to play.

Is Allgood definitely back?

It will be interesting to see how your imports react on Saturday having grown up dreaming of playing at Wembley and now being a few weeks from realising that dream. They will be against a team with only one dream, desperate for the win, playing in a noisey and hostile environment with very few travelling fans to lift them when needed.
There is no way the 9th best SL club with a wembley date should lose to a lower division club on 50% of its salary - but this is sport.............

Maybe not but you're not playing Widnes



Playing the 10th placed team with a shocking away record off the back of what will have been a very strange week then I'd say we're up against it.

Funnily enough a couple of our imports said they didn't know much about Wembley before they came over

:3b5eh0nx

Andy, as a Leyther...you do not mean that !!!!





All I can say its a state of the art club house facility and nearest place to the stadium itself that will cater for large numbers of supporters.

The staff are friendly and welcoming and you don't have to walk over any Bridges or across the other side of town with it being part of the main LSV site and facilities you can literally throw a stone to your seat in the ground.

Home of Leigh East ARLFC and they looked after your team in the build up to your game against Wigan at LSV when you beat our old enemy so you guys are most welcome anytime

Safe journey see you all Saturday

BLESS....

Cheers mate, its called being diplomatic as im on another teams board

Has every Leigh native gone tee total or something?

So no HKR invasion then. Just over 230 tickets only sold as of earlier today

No disrespect, but you ain't exactly your average Rover's fans priority at the moment. I always expected 400-500 max with or without a cup final to save for. Saturday aft and on tv is a lousy fixture for many, especially with football starting and City at home.

If it makes you feel better, I'll be there.

I'm paying on the day,these Internet tickets annoy me intensely.

The last time I bought one I had to jump through so many hoops that I had to murder a sheep to calm my ire.

What is your priorty..



I bet your team are well over the moon with the support when they stroll out at the LSV.

Over 300 sold now expect 500 plus to attend

Given the time and expense spent securing Cup final tickets, travel and accommodation, im surprised as many as 230 have bothered pre-purchasing Leigh tickets.
Ill probably decide to travel across on the day but the reality is our season wont be defined on Saturday. We can afford to (and probably will) lose.

As will yours with the massive 2500 believers.

Aye, amazed there will probably be under 4K at the game. Yes I'm a Leigh fan, and I mean the home support. We are 'on a roll' it's the 1st game of the 'middle 8's' and we are playing the challenge cup finalists, and both sides love to play attacking Rugby !!! (Can't wait for it, personally)

Bookmarked..

Bookmark what you like pal. Your the most arrogant Leigh fan on these boards, and that takes some doing.

No need for insolence.I haven't used it,why should you..

Good luck Saturday..

Watch a interview with Liam Salter on kr tv and he said they ain't worrying about other teams it's all about what mentality we turn up with (or something along them lines). And he is right imo if we turn up half hearted with 1 eye on the cup then we may come unstuck but if we turn up with the attitude of last time we played at LSV then we will win this game
