Leigh Miners Challenge Cup game against Millom this afternoon is OFF, but there is a further pitch inspection tomorrow morning to try and get the on tomorrow afternoon at Twist Lane in which it will be a 2-30 kick off. At the moment there is a good chance the game will be on.

so lets hope it is

Thanks for the information.

From a personal point of view, I can't help but think this is poor form if the Challenge Cup game goes ahead tomorrow as it brings it into a direct clash with Leigh's game against Warrington.

I can understand the reasoning behind it though - Cumbrian team, distance to travel, needs to be on the weekend, cup games take priority but even so...

is the rain clearing the snow off the pitch?

What if some of the player have tickets for the Leigh v Wire game, i would think they will be disapointed, i know there isn't much they can do about it but still.

all the snow is off the field there was still abit of ice at the top end near welch mill but a few people have been on this afternoon folking the pitch trying to get the pitch fit for tomorrow. We will just have to see how things go overnight but hopefully we can get the game played tomorrow.

Don't think the rfl are bothered if a pre season friendly game clashes with a challenge cup game even though it is amatuer, we just want to get back playin again as im sure all amatuer sides do to avoid any further fixture backlog.

Then again if the MINERS HAVE SENSE they ll be playing at 1 and then fans can watch that and the lEIGH game and they can make a bob or two too.

Pity the LSV didn't offer you a guaranteed ' match on ' at 1 pm [ assuming the pitch is in good enough condition of course ] , would you have taken it Brickwall ?

Now that is a good idea.

yes i think the club would have taken that, but being honest dont think LSV would ever suggest that.

about the 1pm kick off, dont forget millom have to travel for 3 hours on a coach and the fact miners have floodlights it suits both teams to kick off at 2-30

im sure it would have been better if it was 1pm so leigh fans could watch miners before if they wanted but im sure there will be a good crowd on at miners tomorrow anyway with no local amatuer teams having played for a while im sure they will want to watch a game.

just hope it's on now

I think it will be and am hoping for a win of course.

I would have definately been there for a 1pm KO but I enjoy watching Easts and Miners.

I,ll be at your next home game for sure.
