First time in many a year, Leigh won't be taking a supporters coach to the game on Thursday night, why did they pick this game when this round sees two derby type games between Yorkshire clubs , instead they send Leigh to Haven on Valentines day, we managed to get 16 people who could get time of work to go but this would have resulted in paying about £27 each so instead a mini bus and a handful of cars will be there. How good will that look on TV

No this is a TV game it's 2 and a half hours from Leigh on a "good run" we was leaving at 3 how many works finish in time for people to make that? It make sense to have Thursdsy TV games featuring teams that are fairly close to each other or do what they did this weekmand sundaY at 6. LEIGH would have over 300 fans not 30 so Haven will lose out because of this .

Can only guess Premier have done it because they see it being a competitive game with perhaps an upset. I never knew there were so many Casanova's in Leigh pulling out all the stops on Valentines day! |

Which gets you to 6 or 6:30, the game kicks off an hour later. |

That will now hit Whitehaven in the pocket
Why in Gods name are the Championship owners putting up with playing midweek for no financial compensation , their stupidity knows no boundarys |

Closer to 6.30 by the time you've parked up and entered the ground , so time for a beer and a bite to eat before the game
Unless of course your coaches have ' Warp drive ' ?
Midweek matches for no compensation stinks , plain bloody stupid , 2 weeks ago Leigh took close to 500 for the match at Fev on a sunday , yes less than that would have gone to Haven , but still a financial ' hole ' for Haven

And to cap it all premier sports pay nothing for the tv rights to screen games. All the clubs in the Championship received 20k each last year and that was it. Ok for the teams who are never on but successful teams are getting hammered on attendances .
Does anybody know if the teams voted this in or just another one of those great ideas negotiated by the rugby league which isnt worth the paper its wrote on.

On the flip side, it is free exposure for RL |

If you were contemplating a trip to Haven , you'd need a drink as well 
Then again I'm sure you will be travelling up to see your ' reserve grade ' play  |
