Just keep it in your handbag

The fans bar outside the ground is open to all (Legends Bar), check out any offers from the Holiday inn express behind the South stand/away end. There is also a food pub on site 'Whistling Wren' 30m from the ground plus a Morrisons with Café, takeaway hot food and sandwiches etc. Leigh East clubhouse is on site and open to all, with Leigh miners about half a mile away next to the canal. Great amount of pubs in town which is 10-15 min walk away, the Spoons is a great pub but other side of town 25 mins walk, nearest to ground are Britannia and Centurion, both traditional RL pubs packed with fans with beer at £2 ish a pint. You have the normal Frankie and Bennys, Nandos etc on the Loom near Tesco. There are McD's and KFC just past the ground off the bi pass at Parsonage retail park, you will also be able to park here foc, 10 min walk. There is also a great little pub doing good food at reasonable prices at the traffic lights on the Bi pass as you leave the Lancs turn Left at the lights before LSV, 'Robin Hood'. Normal bars and food inside on the concourses.
Anyway hope that helps and look forward to a large and loud following

Team wise, Friday will have helped no end to rid the nerves etc for us. Higham will be back as will Tonga, I expect 2 from Acton, Maria, Hopkins to play a part in the 17 to give us more from the bench

How many forward passes is your quarterback planning on throwing on Friday ?

As many as the wide receivers fancy catching.

Got to say I think Leigh may have to take a financial hit on this game from away fans. I won't be going on principle. My old fella cried off because £20 is a bit steep for him, and me and the missus will give it a miss at that price. It's getting a bit like the football rip off hiking the prices for bigger teams with more fans, but the £70 they are losing from me and my family will be only a small portion of the money they will lose from away ticket sales I would guess. They might make more from home supporters who are prepared to absorb the hike, but I fear the overall crowd may disappoint.

The word is that your club ( along with 3 others ) proposed a change to the % of away ticket sales the away club can retain , it was 10 % , now changed to 25 %

All this will do is drive up ticket prices , Leigh and 3 other clubs voted against it

So blame Mr Hetherington

Pricing structure *two tiered* was set out early by the Club.
Wire, Wigan, Widnes, Saints all being relatively local & therefore bigger gates + Leeds, big Club big draw & well followed are premium priced fixtures, this goes for Leigh fans too who will also pay a premium, much like some Football Clubs do, Wigan Latics & Bolton did just this + others.

Anyway, back to the game.

I fear for us if we don't bounce back immediately from last week, not in as much as a victory, more in as much as the result being contested & close.

Our back line has been known as our achilles heel by home fans for a while now, we lack out & out pace on the edges, so if we are to make a game of it then the pack (normally our strength) will have to step up this week.

Looking at our squad without Red Rose tinted glasses on, we do have a bit of an age issue perhaps, vast experience yes, young legs no.

Gaz Hock & Harrison Hansen & Danny Tickle were our best performers I felt in the Cas game, while Atalea Vea looks a complete pudding, even our stand out pack guys like Dayne Weston, though he ran his blood to water, struggled with the constantly repeating defensive sets.

Hopefully we can get Acton & Lachlan Burr back to inject some youth into the forwards or we will struggle again.

Looking forward to what should be a cracking atmosphere & a hard fought match with plenty noise on the terraces.

My prediction would be somewhere around 16 - 26 at the hooter.

Safe travels.

Doesn't sound like Gary H to vote to change something that would cost Leeds - the club with the biggest gate receipts - a lot of money. Think you might have your wires crossed.

I think you've misunderstood , clubs selling tickets to away games receive 10% of the ticket price , apparently that has changed to 25% , so the clubs that have the most away fans will make more money

But the home clubs might well increase prices to make up their lost 15%

Result , the fans pay more , and less travel

Ah, I see. That would make more sense from Gary's point of view...

Good answer !

25% of £25 =

Leeds don't charge away fans extra for open access to the weather.

They don't need to taking 25% off their own for travelling..
