| It looks like the RFL won't let Miners play their Challenge Cup game against Oxford at Twist Lane! How can they come up with that?! Amateur clubs hosted League 1 clubs in the last round of the Challenge Cup, the RFL expected amateur clubs to potentialy host League 1 clubs in the League 1 Cup, doubt there could be much concern with crowds, doubt Oxford will bring many, probabaly be lower attendamce than some Street of Origin games back when East were in the same league. What reasons can the RFL possibly have?

| I can't see any problem. Twist Lane would be OK even if Oxford brought loads. What problems do the RFL anticipate?

| Oxford want the game played at their place, or Orrell RUFC, 3K to 'rent' the LSV, U-21 games get played at Miners....so why not this one.

Well looks like Oxford have complained about playing at Twist Lane (for some reason) & The RFL has agreed (for some reason). Shame on Oxford & RFL really considering Twist Ln has been approved for them to play our reserves there, Newcastle Thunder & Rochdale Hornets both went to an amateur ground last round with no trouble & there'll probably have to go to worse grounds in League 1 anyway! Hope everyone in Leigh comes out so they don't lose money because of Oxford. Would be brilliant if Miners still beat them.

| Would still like to see what the objection was by Oxford! And to why the RFL went along with it.

| Are they going to refuse to play at Whitebank in the league, as in my view its a far worse place than Leigh miners or did they refuse to play there last year.The Rfl are to blame as well here as they have major double standards when it comes amateur and pro rugby,to any Oldham fans this isn't a pop at your club and I genuinely sympathise with your present situation.

| Major mistake from Oxford IMHO - not sure who they think they are! Miners will be chomping at the bit to beat this time now. Hope they get a good crowd and don't make a loss on this fixture.

| The decision stinks, was a double header on Sunday considered? I hope the LSV make some reduction in charges,for example the stewards could volunteer to support the Miners and do it for nowt.

| It's been a very long time since I watched a match at Twist Lane. I have read someone speculating that it's something to do with not kicking to touch for penalties on the canal side. Is there anything in that? And even so, this can't be the first CC match when the Miners have been at home, so why would this suddenly be a problem now?

It's true you can't but that's always been the case, don't know how much a big net is, like the one behind the goal at the car park end, to stop that but it's costing £3,000 to play at LSV & a net would fix that for good. I heard it was to do with dugouts being on opposite sides & too close to the pitch for the 4th official (which Miners have claimed they can fix & is fine for NCL games, all previous Challenge Cup games & when League 1 clubs, including Oxford, play Leigh Centurions reserves there) & changing rooms (can't be any worse than the portacabins at Owlerton & again are good enough for Oxford when they play Leigh Centurions reserves).

Dug outs are on opposite sides at Wath Brow and they were allowed to play at home against Newcastle in the last round. They also don't kick for touch for penalties at WBH
