Media reporting 12500 at LSV to watch Leigh v Salford is all that matters - and no give away tickets to do so.

I too only usually get there not long before KO and leave more or less at the final whistle, but it’s not the likes of me these things (whatever they are) are aimed at.
I also hope that all this works out for DB, I do however feel a wet freezing February night could put a damper on things, unless it’s the circus! |

Readers should know that Mo is a WUM he has, however, hinted at the actual artists appearing. "The All Seeing I" (featuring (one of Peter Kay's old collaborators) Tony Christie) will perform "Walk Like a Panther" as a warm up to Georgie Fame & The C&W Flames, with Charlie banging the big bass drum in "Lily the Pink".
For all subsequent home games the teams will stroll out to a certain Henry Mancini classic. |

| If the 5 gold packages I picked up today are anything to go by then the rebranding is definitely taking us in the right direction.
In the past I’ve not always agreed with things that DB has said or done but credit were credits due the packages are very professional and the ‘word game’ is great marketing, well done to all concerned  |

The packages to indeed look highly professional and a little note saying which player prepared each one is a nice touch.
When picking up my package I was told the queue was about an hour and when the pick-up-ee left with said packages the queue was twice the length as when joined.
I think I'd be right in saying that the feedback from other fans on this side of the rebrand has been positive, some almost verging on envy.
Plus I really want a cyan top to go with whatever my polo shirt voucher gets me in the end.
Credit is well due for this part.

Your right about the envy, my old MD (a pie) sent me a photo of a child crying as he’d been given a Leopard’s shirt for Christmas,
I sent him some photos of how we’d received our memberships.
His reply was a photo of his season ticket with the comment “WOW we got this dog e 3 of them in one envelope!” |

While the question may linger in DB's motive regards Leigh's rebrand it must be remembered that Super League clubs were asked a couple of years ago to update/upgrade their rebrands and IIRC quite a few have (quite successfully i believe) and others are still in the process of doing so.

Not sure they asked SL clubs to update/upgrade their branding. Branding purely sits with the clubs interest. We are probably seeing the most ever successful rebrand in the history of the game. Success currently sits with Leopards on that score.
What/who are the other clubs who have successfully rebranded? |
