Sure we had over 500 in 'The Last Orders' before the game - must be great having all them Lancashire folk visiting and spending money - unlike 'That Bradfort' lot

Which clubs are actually full-time then at Championship level?
Leigh, Bradford, London ...any others?'"
That's it this year, the RFL funding is set up to get the top 4 teams to go full time but last year Fev decided to spend it on their ground and facilities instead (fair enough).

| Quote chissitt="chissitt"Don't watch Fev normally only went to compare you with Bradford, I don't know what their normal attendances are at Fev but compared to the Bulls it was poor, at a guess I'd say about 3 times as many. With regards to the playing side of things it took you till the second half to dominate them, whereas the Bulls were on top from the start, maybe you'll have to wait till you've been to Odsal to get a true comparison.'"
By that reckoning Batley must be one hell of a team to beat Bradford for 75 mins.

I count I think 19 seats wide x 20 rows per section,Yes we were spread out but easily filled 3 sections if we were all together..Thats 380 per section which = 1140.
That sort of kills your 4 buses scenario..

If Batley are one hell of a team, by your assumption Bradford must have played out of their skins to beat them in the last 5 minutes', only 5 games in and you seem to be getting nervy all ready.

| We decided to remain in the seated DIY stand behind the sticks for the second half - to avoid being stood in the biting wind. (Wimps - I know!). We were of course joined by the Fev fans in the second half who had changed ends.
Although Fev were soundly beaten by a far better team on the day, their team did deserve some credit for not throwing in the towel. They just couldn't live with our boys faultless second half performance. They certainly didn't deserve their fans deserting them well before the end.
'The Walk' started around 68 minutes and by the time the final whistle went we were virtually sat on our own. If their season doesn't improve dramatically I don't expect them to travel too well to the LSV. The Fev club must be hugely disappointed in this response from their fans who have seen some very good times in recent years and who deserve better in terms of loyalty during their more recent financial challenges.

| Charlie and friends were guests of Fev Chairman Mark Campbell,and we're looked after very well, Mark is a great bloke who lives and breathes Fev,I for one sincerely hope Fev fortunes change as the season progresses and I think it will when their 2 imports arrive,they will be up there at the e d of the season,they missed hooker Andy Ellis when he went off early in the game.But obviously I think Leigh will beat em at the LSV and of course in the Promised Land.Keep up the good work Mark hope to see you again soon.

| Was initially a bit disappointed in the first half performance in that we didn't seem to do much but of course as it showed in the second half that winning matches isn't just about tries and our 1st rate coach clearly knows a thing about how to win games.
In that first 40minutes what Leigh had really done was tire Fev out with Rovers doing a lot of tackling that would ensure the fuel tank ran on fumes later in the game.
2nd half the only way I could describe it was classy, Brierley looks the best scrum half I've seen in a Leigh shirt for many years and the speed he moves along the line is frightening.
Moimoi is now warming up ably assisted by Barlow et al (is any forward better at moving the ball around than Barlow?) and at the back McNally is rolling back the years to the potential he showed which is now being realised.
With strength in depth (Platt played really well) and no weak link these are happy times to be a Leyther.
On the way across much talk was had of the 40 point lead we once built up at Fev as being the best performance we'd put in on that ground, On Sunday we racked up was it 36 unanswered points against a team that looked shell shocked.
On the performances of late Leigh have been absolute top drawer.
