Leigh 24-16, 3456

Leigh 22 Pies 20

Cold & pre season rustiness will be a factor.

Attendance 4373.

Leigh 42 w!g@n 36. Swapping and changing players as Paul & Shaun experiment will leave a few holes in the defence. Attendance 4,200.

I believe Hansen is playing now.

I thought he was suspended.

But for Mc Nally's give away, I think this score would have been correct.

500 more than last season. Be good if we could get that for every game this year

Totally agree. Thought there was a poor turn out from the pies though.

Abysmal Wigan following IMHO, how many did they bring ? 300 > 400 ?

Regardless of the fact that it is £4 per month * I think * on Wigan TV, not many die hard fans have they.

Quite a good effort & some genuine quality from their young lads I thought.
Those Pies who stayed at home missed a good game.

Wigan as always have some quality young lads coming up,I was also disappointed with Wigan's following,and Leighs play for the first quarter.

I have asked this once before. WHY did we allow Wigan TV to show it especially as it was a split gate too. They got a few 4 quids plus half the gate money of about 4000 Leythers.

Considering the weather, increased cost to get in and Liverpool v Utd on telly at the same time, the crowd was excellent and I'm sure the management at Leigh will be very pleased. Its irrelevant how Wigan brought as its the number of home fans that will count on 90% of the games this season and over 4000 is a good show.

w!g@n's incredible, world famous, amazing support fails to turn up yet again.

Brilliant turn out from the Leythers though. Especially considering it was a cold, 1st pre-season friendly with all to pay & quite expensive for a friendly (not complaining, would rather pay £10 more for a friendly & have Tonga signed for the season than get in cheap & not sign him). Think we could be looking at ~4,000 as an average attendance this year, fantastic considering it was ~2,000 2 years ago!

I think Demon's point is valid though. Wigan cashed in on 50% of the money paid by about 4,000 Leythers in this instance. I know that's always the case with shared gates, but maybe in future we should tell Wigan they can keep the money from tickets they sell, and we'll keep the proceeds of those we sell.
