Leigh won their first game of the NR9s this afternoon, beating London Skolars 22-0.

Which team turned out, Dave?

One in a row!! Whoo-hoo!!

Just out of curiosity - is this comp being covered anywhere (T.V/radio/interweb)??

It was aimed at getting a full house at Bloomfield Road, and it worked, as it has got fans to Bloomfield Road who would not have attended the NRC final otherwise.

Its a sell out according to Eddie Hemmings last night so people are interested it seems .

Has it ?

Do you know anybody who has gone

I do know it has upset a few Widnes fans

And to tell the truth , that is not the point I was making

From a club/team point of view being forced to take a 1 st team squad to play in a competition like this when almost every club is involved in very important matches in the next few weeks [ Leigh fighting for our Championship lives ] is barmy

The NRC final has become a lot more important than ever before because of the winners ' ticking the SL application box ' so it probably doesn't need any help

Plus as I said , Blackpool is a dump , I dont like the place , never have , never will

About 9000 Widnes and Barrow fans I'd guess.

Any other results form the 9's?

Is it a sell out though, how many does Blomefield Road hold enyone know ?.

9,600 or thereabouts

It's the GF's they wont sell out this year , the Championship one [ not Championship 1
It is the semi's that are the most important now

Cheers matey, do you know if it has sold out Starbug ?.
