17 was our very own Leeds lad Tommy Gallagher. He knows Bailey, grew up in the academy with him and obviously tried to get a reaction.

Ryan Bailey IMO was outstanding, has been most of the season, and is definately worthy of a lengthy contract after Kylie departs! Lets get him back in his no 8 shirt!

Agreed, think Bailey was the best forward on the pitch.

Leeds fans were great before and after the game.

As a RL fan watching Sinfield, Burrow and Hall was a pleasure.

leigh should be proud of their team who played some good rugby and made a game of it dispite the final score. The stadium is excellent and puts many super league clubs to shame, directions spot on and parking was great. Oh and by the way thought your fans gave terrific support to the team.
Bailey and Moore really gave us some real momentum when they came on, I originally thouht Moore was a poor addition to the squad but as shown me what I no about Rugby with some good games.

I had to laugh at Ryan Baileys reaction to being brought off. It was one like you used to do when your mum made you come in for your tea when you were playing out. Class all over the field from Leeds. At times we just couldn't tackle you but I think your boys will know they were in a game even with that scoreline.

We did tackle them.

They just dicided to 'offload' in impossible positions !!







Bailey and Moore changed the game on 20 mins me thinks !

I thought the overall experience of last night was fabulous.

We drove straight from work, no problems getting there. Free parking right outside the ground. Popped to Morrisons for some food - the nice lady on the hot chicken counter gave me extra chicken because "you hardly get any meat on them drumsticks so I'll pop another in the bag for you". Got a bottle of cider and sat in the sun having my tea.

No problems getting in the ground or with the seating.

Great game although I don't think the score did Leigh no justice, especially in the first half I though the forwards where fairly evenly matched.

Salford should have used the Leigh Sports Village as a template on how to build a new 'out-of-town' stadium. In fact Castleford and Wakefield should take a good look at LSV when building their new stadiums and avoid taking advice from Salford.

I've got say that out of the 3 "new" stadiums I've visited recently Leigh is far and away the best overall. The atmosphere is good at Langtee Park but is a little bit isolated giving you the feeling of an out of town stadium with no real soul to it. The Sports village is literally next to the town giving it a real feel of being part of the community. Sadly Salfords comes a poor 3rd with problems in its' positioning and the lack of atmosphere inside the ground. We were in the East Stand last night and I've got to say it's as good a view as I've had at a rugby match with adequate leg room for a big lad. The craic in town beforehand was spot on and we felt more than welcome in the Goose thanks to a lot of the Leigh fans that have been posting on here. As for the game, I think the scoreline ultimately flattered Leeds and the Ryan Hall interception on the last play blew the score out even more leaving non viewers thinking it was a cakewalk. It really was nip and tuck for the first 30 minutes and Leeds knew they were in a battle. Leeds were always going to be stronger as the game wore on courtesy of their full time status, but Leigh can hold their heads high for testing us more than the score suggests. Good luck for the rest of the season and thanks for the welcome.

Got to pretty much echo what others have put. We ignored the clubs advise and went down the East Lancs and the stadium was very easy to find. Parked pretty much outside Legends Bar, but decided to go to Leigh East, which was a good decision imo opinion as it's a nice club, despite them having the 71 final playing on a loop! Also got straight out after and didn't get caught in any traffic.

Ground was definitely better than Salford's, although I thought Langtree Park was a touch better. Don't get me wrong, that's not knocking LSV as it's a top class ground and a brand new stadium for a top club should be better really.

Fans were great but to be honest I was expecting that after reading the posts on here during the week. I don't know what's wrong with this Leigh lot, they've really not got the hang of RL Fans have they?



Game - what I would have guessed. Leigh gave us a good contest and whilst the scoreline didn't reflect their efforts it's pretty much par for the course. When the game goes late the fitness of the full-time guys is really noticeable and tires start to flow. Oh, and Bailey, what can I say? I think he enjoyed himself as much as the fans did!

Glad you enjoyed the trip fellas, we always try to make the LSV a welcoming place with a good atmosphere so I hope that's what we managed last night - last night the place really felt like 'home' which is obviously an ongoing process after playing at Hilton Park for so long.

Good to bump in to Leeds Owl in the Goose, hope you enjoyed it mate.

As a matter of interest, Salford are training full time at the Leigh Sports Village complex, as their shiny new facility hasn't got adequate training facilities!
