Over charging fans failed.

how many did leigh want? :S

not really, that will probably be our biggest crowd of the season.
same prices as last years game, and a bigger crowd this time round.

Leigh got it wrong . Why did they think the pies would pay £14 to see the super league champs play Leigh.

I'm sure our new board will be disappointed with the crowd.

On a brighter note really enjoyed the game.

Liam Kay will be a sensation for us this year.

Sarginson very impressive for wigan

Personally I thought the price was a little high even tho the match was well worth it really enjoyed watching bth teams some great rugby played by both sides ..I'm a little worried for Fridays game against big spending Salford I think the crowd will be around 2000 ah well at least my mate enjoyed watching his first Leigh game since the 70s he's even talking about buyin a season ticket

be nice if Wigan let us keep all the gate money though hint hint.

Personally I think that prices were a bit too steep however I doubt knocking £2 off would have had ant effect on the attendance. Poor following from up the road, have to say though I enjoyed in the second half hearing a chap from Wigan in the west stand asking to be let out!

I was in the west stand surrounded by pies and tried to do a bit of baiting. I commented (rather loudly) how it was nice to see Wiganers actually waiting till the end of the match before walking off.
To be fair one old dear replied they only do that when they're being beat so are a bit out of the habit these days

I hear that the corporate side of things were very well supported and 3000 fans is not to be sniffed at for us for a pre season game.
The important questions for us are to be honest not what the gate was or how much we made today. But the following
How many were Leigh fans
How many of those fans were undecided on attending games on a regular basis, and did the game convince them to come more.
How many of those fans were on the fence about a season ticket, and did the game convince them to go get one.

Gents as a board member I am delighted with today's gate and the 2500 plus Leythers In it
The touchdown delivered great value and we had some first timers interested in sponsoring the club, the legends was fantastic. So great to see generations of families together and enjoying the Craic
The board are buzzing, the fans are buzzing and the sponsors are getting more by the day
How about the best try never to be given at LSV can't wait to see it again as that was almost game over
Hope you enjoyed as we certainly did

Not at all Alex that will be one of the biggest crowds this season, thank you to all that attended and to those that didn't you missed a cracker.

Mo, it probably couldn't be seen unless in line with it but what happened with the disallowed try was the short pass from the halfback hit the receiver's upper arms and bounced into the hands of the dummy runner who was a yard or so to his left so that it looked like one pass but in fact it was 2 and the second a yard and a half forward!
Irrespective, I thought the day was great, from the buzz in Legends beforehand to the much improved pre and HT entertainment and to the atmosphere in the hospitality. The guys on the field gave it a big effort and things can only improve with time.
Well done to everyone involved!
Now bring on Salford...

3k for a friendly isn't bad at all.

It could have been so much bigger Fred.

From a Wigan perspective, it sounded like a good game to blow the cobwebs off and chance to see some of our U20's.

The radio programme and commentary from Leigh Life was excellent, thanks.

I *might* have a Monday and Tuesday off work in a few weeks time. If I do I am considering coming home for a weekend to catch some rugby... and to see you and mother of course
It would be the Batley home game on the 16th. Fingers crossed!
