There must have been just about 4,000 last night. The South stand holds 3.300, it was not far from being full, so take it from there.
Hope without planning is about as futile as waiting for a harvest without planting

From our end it looked as thiough the middle 3 sections were well populated but there was plenty of room otherwise. Attendance given seemed about right.

Leigh chief executive Allan Rowley said: “May we take this opportunity to wish Salford and Celtic all the best but we also have to say we are thoroughly disgusted with the Celtic decision.
“We now have a team that fielded 10 overseas players against us because they are classed as a development team and are now in our elite competition, which is a complete contradiction of terms and we feel this decision is purely a geographical one.
“We have nothing at all against the people who run Celtic. They can only do what they do within the laws of the game but the decision makers should hang their heads in shame.
“We know that there is no system for appealing but we are definitely going to ask the RFL how Celtic ticked more boxes than us. We owe that to the public of Leigh.”
“We are devastated with the decision,” added Rowley. “The bid was professionally presented by Deloittes and had the full backing of Wigan MBC (Metropolitan Borough Council) and Leigh Sports Village.
“The bid incorporated a business plan that was approved by Deloittes, which demonstrated the enormous potential of Leigh Centurions together with the opening of the fantastic new stadium and other facilities at the Sports Village.
“The new facilities definitely ticked enough boxes for a successful bid and all that we can do now is monitor the development of the successful clubs and see whether they can deliver what we at Leigh Centurions have already delivered.
“We are not naive enough to think that the new stadium is the be all and end all but it is the catalyst to develop the club and the infrastructure in association with the local amateur clubs.
“This, along with the backing of the Leigh public, will ensure that there are exciting times ahead for Leigh Centurions.”
With crying like that Leigh should be a shoo-in next time, according to your logic obviously.
TF and the wire said of the Widnes Vikings....Best in the World.

Little Pepe went to nursery school one day wearing his Widnes hat. His teacher asked him why he was a Widnes fan. He said, “Because my parents are.” His teacher said, “That’s not good. What would you do if your parents were drug dealers and hookers?” He replied, “Well then I would be a Warrington fan.”
There's a Wooly over there, baggy kecks and feathered hair with a 3 star jumper half way up his back, that’s a fecking Wooly back! Oooh-to… Oooh-to-be… Oooh-to-be-a… WOOLY!
