Quote: Snowy "Who remembers the CC QF match at Wilderspool in 2002 ?
I remember reading th local Guardian stating that the game will not be all ticket as Leigh will bring no more than 1500.
How wrong they were !!'"
I'm a Wire fan and there are seven of us with tickets already bought for the North Stand who are coming along on Sunday. A group of us went to the LSV 3-4 last times last year (which shows how few games we ever have on Sundays) and you are a fantastic side who play great rugby. It's probably not the done thing to have a local rival as a 'second team', but that's how I feel about Leigh. I bear no animosity towards Leigh and never have - the polar opposite, in fact. You are a great club and brilliant to watch, and I hope there is a 8k+ crowd on there on Sunday.
While I'm here, a few clarifications over the Wire v Leigh QF at Wilderspool in 2002, where you brought 5,000.
It was the fifth round in 2001 and the old Railway End at Wilderspool only held 3,000 at a push, but it was still a great attendance in a 8,500+ crowd and you made enough din. If the game had been in 2002 then you'd have knocked us out (mention 2002 to any Wire fan and watch their colour drain away).
I'm off to Hull this evening (it's our year this year, so I don't want to miss anything - it's always our year, just so you know).
Enjoy Sunday. I know I will.
