| Amazed you still get bites, Mo. Would have thought it'd be a huge stink to be using Hull KR's bait from 2006!

| We almost filled the west stand in 2005 in a 'not so convincing ' wire win. If the capacity is 3200, we will fill it! This game is as local as Wigan. Looking forward to it!

When they started beating all of the part-time teams in the Championship. They now think they can handle it with the big boys

| Leigh will bring one of, if not the biggest away followings to ever grace the HJ. They will also at the very least push us close. We've no reason to be cocky. Will be a cracking game and atmosphere and I for one am worried.

| Logic would suggest an easy win for Wire.
But this is the cup and anything can happen.
Leigh have shown they are resilient and they have some very good players - Beswick is a very very good player and the halves are more than useful.
It's the tie I wanted as my logic is that it should be easier.
I still think Wire will win but I for one won't be thinking of the semi's until our result is in.
Lots of banter and micky taking from both sides and long may that continue, but let's not read too much into that.

Are you sure? They only managed 3467 at home in their recent big fixture against Halifax. I do think they will give us a real game though.

That figure included about 2/300 fax fans....and while it probably isn't difficult at the moment close to outnumbering the wakey fans on Saturday.
Plus I am sure you will get used to Maurices posts

| Banter aside, surely this is the draw that everybody wanted?
We are at home against a local team that are enjoying a bit of media attention having scalped a couple of SL teams in this year of potential promotion. Leigh seem to play a decent brand of RL throwing it about whilst not afraid for a bot of niggle. Then there's the 'Mickey Higham' situation to add a bit of spice.
They will bring a large noisy following, the place should be rocking, it' s got all the ingredients, I can't wait and hope that we, the team and fans are up for it...Crowd prediction 6,392 all from Leigh

It should be a spicy affair and surely will attract a big crowd ? Previous years cc matches against Championship sides have not left fans with a great deal of enthusiasm for the spectacle, but as you say this has a bit of everything; it's a local derby, SL v Championship, Maurice and Charlie streaking during the interval, families torn apart by loyalties, coal miners v wire makers, revenge for stealing Hilly. I don't doubt it will be on TV and watched by millions, they will probably make a film about it - one of those gritty northern epics like Kess, or Braveheart with helicopter shots of the crowds outside the HJ gates, locked out from a jam packed ground. Leigh fans will tell their kids about the day they had to walk to the match because the roads were completely blocked. ...............................and Roy Asotasi will play two whole twenty minute sessions, scoring a hat trick in each, to be carried off on the shoulders of grateful Wire fans who always knew he would come good in the end.
Yes, I reckon even though it will probably be on TV we should certainly get 10K. If people don't wan't to see this one then RL might as well pack up and join Union.

| Better get Peter Jackson to direct as it is surely a fantasy film!
PS based on recent history the crowd won't break 10k. Get your rugger bags packed. Pimms ahoy.

| I think that is where Wire are missing out. We need a car park so that fans can load up the picnic basket and enjoy a refreshing spot of bubbly in the car park before the match. I will send the idea on to Roger.
