I'm surprised about people keep saying about the poor numbers we took to Leigh last year. I went, but don't remember the crowd being that bad. The things that stand out was us playing poorly and us playing poorly but still felt like we should have won and that we'd threw the game away. the other thing that I remember was the 'trouble' with the heavy handed stewards who threw people out for not sitting down even though there were a lot of Leigh fans stood up in the stand to the left of where the Widnes fans were.

The away following was very disapointing from widnes last year. Wish they would stop showing our home games vs widnes on SKY actually as it really reduces the only decent away following we get. Plus our home game v barrow being on sky and now 'Fev and probably 'Fax home games are going to be on wednesday nights due to challenge cup fixtures means our four 'biggest' matches are all going to be thursday and wednesday night matches. No wonder we never get much away support

Think the official Away number was 220 or so.



Either way, the whole crowd was disappointing (2300).



Leigh Initiative is certainly the way to go, and one that I have been crying out for ages. If we get 3000 paying fans, that will do me. The other 1000 or so are our future, so the rest is now up to the club !

So half of your home crowd will turn up???



Leigh haven't brought 1k to our place since SL so not expecting much tbh!

In fairness, it isn't unheard of and we haven't taken anything less than 500 to an away game so far I reckon, bar Toulouse and maybe 350 or so at Dewsbury on a Wednesday night in the NRC; took 800+ to Halifax when we tonked them.

Eye we have.



The season after SL we tonked you both times at your place and brought really good support on both games (Att around 4500 IIRC).



The Northern Rail Semi was a peach !!





Considering we have been pants for the last 2 seasons may give you that perception !

[pedant We stuffed them in the quarters Snowy, we played Workington at HP in the semi [/pedant

No, you didn't.

Oh yes, we did.



(Though the NRC hammering when Peachey had a great game [size=85for Leigh[/size was a Tuesday night and I think we only brought about 400)

Close but no bannana , I will be meeting another Championship owner to discuss it , whose team will not be playing on the night

Have Widnes still got all those injuries they keep waffling on about?

Sure have - one or two coming back plus signings.



Have Leigh got all those Fax players they keep waffing about?

We don't need 'em.

We are genuinely justified to bring them up considering the luck we've had this season.



And yet we're still doing okay. Unlike you lot last season. Full squad out and relegated, saved at the last minute by people you can't help "waffling about".

Gateshead cheated to stay up, FACT.



And I don't think any squad that includes Andy Hobson, Tony Stewart and the like could ever be considered full strength at any point

Listen, we know they cheated, you know they cheated, they know they cheated and yet still if you mentioned that on the virtual terrace everything they ever did was above board. Same goes for Celtic Crusaders and Harlequins.

Bugger off Chris, I don't like it when I agree with you

chris v matt - half time hattons high ball??

As I have stated before, I fancy Widnes on Thursday.



Can see a few dodgy's going your way and the motivated underdog has a good record in these clashes.



Get down and experience LSV for the first time.

This will be my second visit to the red wendy house.

I remember the stick we got from Chemic fans few seasons ago when we had a lot of injurys, so shut up about injurys

Will you be wearing a different outfit this time?

Nice one Rich!

Was that last season, or were you just genuinely the worst losers since Zanzibar squared up against the British army?

And still got six points out of you!
