I must admit I find the stewards at the new stadium petty & aggressive. My kids really like the not being open to the elements. I think the owners of the stadium need to look at making the East Stand terracing & include a supporters bar. At the moment its a soccer stadium with an RL team in it, it needs to change to an RL stadium quickly or it will lose supporters, i already make excusses not to go & regret getting a season ticket.

Although its only April 1st, given the cup draws it is highly probable that between now and Xmas there will only be a further NINE home games !!
With only Widnes and Halifax likely to attract crowds of over 2000 !
In addition, of the nine games, 1 is a 1pm ko (Easter Mon) 2 are on Thurs Evenings and the Toulouse game is 6pm ko Sat 15/8, only 5 more games are due to be played on a Sunday with a regular 3pm ko.
Leigh are not alone in this situation, something needs to be done within the RFL to pad out the season for clubs struggling to survive outside Super League.
I have suggested amalgamating the national leagues before.
All Lancs and Cumbrian teams would play each other home and away as would those clubs on the wrong side of the pennines. That would give 18 games per team. We would then play 6 other clubs home and away giving a total of 30 games per season.
We could scrap the top 6 playoffs and revert to the top four playing off for the Grand Final.
I think it would be a lot better than the current format and the NRC competition would be a staight knockout like the Challenge Cup.
