Lee was offered on a plate to Leigh. All Neil Kelly had to do was make a phone call to Wigan and Lee would have been playing for Leigh instead of Barrow.

Wigan have around 8 young players available to be loaned out. Maybe more. The proximity of Leigh to Wigan means that the Wigan youngsters always want to go to Leigh over other clubs because it enables them to more readily/easily combine training with their Loan club and Wigan. Even Lee resides in Wigan. Decent facilities also help.

Yes, but where are our 4,000 now?

Agreed - one day (maybe) we'll get a Bank Holiday derby at home!! Remember the days, when Leigh and Widnes alternated the home game at Easter?.

The next Bank Holiday Monday, we've got.............................Batley (away, of course!)

Alan Friday was a bank holiday

I know, but when will we get a local derby at home on a Bank Holiday?

Theres one thing, at least it beats going away to Whitehaven!

Monday?

Yes, but the other key part of my post was 'local derby'. Barrow is probably 'local' compared to some (Gateshead, Toulouse etc.) but what I'm getting at, is when do we get to play Widnes at home, on a Bank Holiday?

There, hope that clarifies my post?

No

Basically what Alan was saying is that Leigh have played Widnes away at Easter in 2007, 2008 and now 2009. When will we get a home Easter fixture against them?

I knw Im just winding him up

Surely not!! It's not your style, Fred!! Personally, I thought I did rather well, to remember what I was actually trying to say, in the first place.
