?

You are aware Warringtons average crowd attendance in its final decade was around 4000 at Wilderspool? The maximum attendance was around 5000ish through safety rules. (Somebody put me accurately corrected)
If Leigh brought 3000+ to Wilderspool then there would be only 8-900 wire fans!!

I agree..

Its looking the same could be for you...And your at home.

The season I am talking about was 2000-2001 (ish). We were the top team of the then NFP (Northern Ford Premiership) and after nilling you in the first half, the great Allan Langer had a little too much class in the 2nd half for you to pip us 20-10. I can still smell the urine flowing down the terraces (lets be honest, Wilderspool was a dump but it created a great atmosphere with a packed railway end. I had the queue for 20 mins !!)

Wilderspool was packed (just under 9k in) to watch a Leigh side almost turn over yet another SL side in the QF of the Challenge Cup. I was gutted that you didnt get to Wembley as Warrington are my second team. Most Wire fans I shared a drink with after the match stated that Leigh should have won, but not to be.

The SL team we did beat that year was again Salford. Again it was on the BBC.

Its almost Deja Vu this , but I want a favourable result this time !!

Ahhh, not a bad memory !!! We obviously lost because of Ganson !!! LOL

My birthday

Given our recent attendances at CC games & our poor form this season I would not be surprised to see our fans outnumbered by Leigh fans especially when the match is on BBC.

By the way didn't Wire/Leigh games always happen over Easter in the days of proper RL ,when there was just one division ?

it was and pies.

Max attendance at wilderspool for the last few years was around 9.5K, maybe less, after the Snookers side was taped off.

That match in the cup was part of our incredibly uninspiring start to the season, where we didn't have a sponsor to start of with. Walters didn't last very long and DV2 went back to 'straya as his mum was ill, and our cup run was Woolston Rovers, Leigh, and Villeneuve, until we got to the semi final where we were robbed by that nikau try that they didn't go to the video ref for just before half time.

Oh yes ... The one that Cummins later admitted was actually a try.

He was NEVER in a million years offside. Didn't even consider it.

Reading all the posts by Leigh fans on this thread, it looks like neither team thinks they'll win. Should be interesting.
