Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity
Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike
SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done
But he with a chuckle replied
That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it!:9005.jpg |

Atmosphere requires people, so every effort should be made to get as many people as possible into all games by whatever means you have at your disposal, even if it involves an element of risk, friday night showed what life at the LSV could be like all the time, providing the effort is made, doing nothing results in nothing changing

I stopped posting a while back because I'm so far removed from what's going on in Leigh these days. However, I've probably got a bit of grace after Friday night, so, for what it's worth, I can see how attractive a summer Friday night game could be. My own "best" memories from Hilton Park are of games under floodlights - v St Helens in the 1981 Lancashire Cup sticks out - because I feel it adds to the atmosphere. My kids have absolutely no experience of Rugby League other than what they see on Friday nights when I am allowed my quota of the Sky subscription, and they absolutely loved the real deal. I expect there must be a lot of people who have moved into the Leigh area who have no RL background, and based on my experience on Friday, these are people who can be persuaded that it's worth going along to the LSV. Maybe there needs to be a more "expansionist" (sorry) attitude in and around Leigh towards the people who haven't been brought up with Rugby League, as well as those who are aware of the traditions or are involved in the amateur scene?

HP didn't always have the atmosphere and I know where I would rather be sat, and thats with no girders to block the view ! plus when the cameras came it was worse still, took up all the best seats .LSV for me

You'll not be surprised to hear I disagree  LSV is my winner.
As someone who stood around the 20m line up from the Scoreboard, in the Pizzing rain on too many an occasion, I can assure you I had loads of cold wet dismal days and nights at HP.

+1 for LSV.
Better acoustics, better facilities. Just not had many big matches there yet. On Friday, the place was rocking!
