"The site is operated by Leigh Sports Village Company on behalf of Wigan Council – owners of the stadium, athletic stadium and clubhouse, swimming pool and sports centre, rugby league clubhouse and 3G pitches. "
I'm also pretty sure most of the boxes were sold out to people through mickey macs testimonial committee? Not sure how much say leigh will have had in that either or how "Commercially" successful it will have been?
I'm one of the last people who will have a go at Leigh but I think one or two are getting a little giddy.
Comment about 'barring' Wigan TV was tongue-in-cheek. Although I suspect Centurions have at least as much say about what happens at LSV, as Wigan do at the DW?
A share of an almost 6,000 gate is not to be sniffed at - let's see how much our share of the gate against Dewsbury, next week amounts to.
Just to put this in context. The attendance of 5,792 on Sunday was higher than all but two of Leighs home games in the League last season, and one of those was a "free ticket" game v Batley.

Quite true RG, It just shows the interest it's brought in Leigh, now that we are a SL club.

Can't agree with your estimations there Chaz.
Away (South) was at best 3/4 full (Bradford brought more). North was similar 3/4 + but we also always seem to squeeze to middles & leave sides even when packed.
Main stand as MattyB I think it was said, was only half full.
Probably right that 25 minutes to go the mass exodus began & by the hooter there was hardly a soul for Wigan players to go over to.

You guys really are the Walder Frey of rugby league.
If you want to make an impact this year, you're going to have to aim a lot higher than scoring petty 50 - 10 victories over Wiganers.
Ah, Crusty ! Bless !
You really are the Walter Mitty of rugby league.
Yes it was a friendly, yes the result is irrelevant to Wane & many Wigan fans, but not all Wigan fans. Do some Wigan fans feel just a little cheated by the relative lack of 1st team involvement in the match & a complete mis match 2nd half ? Or is that kind of slaughtering fun for you ?
Now that the pleasantries are out of the way, Iceland have been trying to contact you. Could you please return the shopping trolley from your front yard in Platt Waz as it is NOT YOUR PRAM.
Also could Wigan Warriors RLFC please advise Derek of when they are likely to need to 'borrow' our nice new Rugby League stadium when your football stadium is unavailable as we have a Real Big Club to consider in Manchester United.
