A lot of teams are struggling this year, Barrow cant seem to get over the 2,000 mark and Leigh havent started to well on the crowds front. The Widnes gates seem to be dipping around the 3,000 mark now.
Lower league rugby in trouble? you bet ya, the sooner you get out the better.

Don't remember anyone saying that! We should be looking to push as hard as we can for a 4k crowd mind you!

| Litten Tree was packed with footy fans as was several others. We always seem to clash with Utd/City. That's why I recommend we move to Saturdays 6.30pm. We may clash with a SL game but I think only the big games may keep a few fans at home.
What Mr Millward must understand is that it will take more than a couple of wins to get fans back to pay £16 after the rubbish we have been served aover the last few years. I think crowds will increase if we continue winning but clashing with big footy games will not help. Why have SL teams moved to Fridays? Barrow play Saturday evenings. Let's at least give it a try. You could build up the eveninmgs game throughout the day in Leigh town centre.

| Scorelines yesterday don't do us any harm, but would have been better if we'd have really got out of the straps early and ended posting 50+ to nil. It needs a couple of results to make stay-aways realise we're back. We're not quite there yet, but a win against Fax might just provide the tipping point.

| True Fred, and yesterday's opposition was very poor and it could have been an embarrassing score. All I'm saying is that it might take a couple of stand-out results to make people realise that things are very much on the up again.

| you cant have stand out scores AND competition, if you post 50 points+ wins how can the other team have been good competition.
do you think utd fans would stop going if they trounced everybody all th time and their opposition was no competition?
i say shame on those that so called say they are leythers but stayed away to watch 2 football teams who are not in leigh

| From a personal point of view I much more enjoy the league being tight the last two seasons, even if it does mean loosing to Batley once or twice a season lol.
As you say with some RL 'lovers & fans' you can't win... you have people who say they don't want to pay to see Widnes hammer a bunch of part timers, yet when you have competitive games they wont come for the opposite reason... we should be dminating every game!

| Heard 2 fans in front of me talking about "low" crowds whilst walking back into town after the game:
Fan 1 : "Once word gets round Millward as got them playing decent rugby, they'll start coming again "
Fan 2 : " Quite possibly, but's it's a bloody expensive place to watch this standard of rugby isn't it ? "
Get the feeling BOTH are right.
