| 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.

| 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.

"Leeds is the greatest club in Rugby League"
Alex Murphy 2011: |
|
| 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.

1113.jpg Please Allow Me to Introduce Myself
I'm a Man of Wealth and Taste
Oh, and the back to back, having a laugh, RL Fans Predictions League Champion:1113.jpg |
|
| 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!

Leeds Owl on the Leigh board this morning I named you Little Owl,a daft mistake especially when you must be about 6ft.4".
When I posted though I was just getting ready to go for the train to Wigan,the result made it a good day for me.
Hope to see you on the Semi or Final. Cheers.

| My new favourite away ground.....why?
Good atmosphere, comfy seats, knowledgeable home fans, stewards who let you in with your own food and drinks, sensible pricing, good car parking-
A great night all round.

Your lot did a real job on Saints, they seemed to have a lot more passion and desire than St Helens. A good game for you but poor viewing for the neutrals. Looks like you're gonna be the team to beat. It was nice to meet you in Leigh, you've met a good crowd there. All the best, little owl ![Laughing icon_lol.gif](images/smilies//icon_lol.gif)

39092.jpg Ryan Bailey (11/11/83) - The Most Feared Man In Super League

What tricks?
Playing well? Getting your boys sucked in? Playing the game with a smile/grin on his face?
I thought his his dummy kick was a new trick, would rather have seen him plant the ball down-field though. Who does this Ryan Bailey think he is, 'ooooh I'm a sexy footballer these days look at my many talents' soft-cock.

It ain't what you takin', it's who you takin' from, ya feel me? How you expect to run with the wolves come night when you spend all day sparring with the puppies?:41106.jpg |

Didn't Barrie Mac once score a try following a dummy to kick...maybe they've been exchanging notes.
