I think it was when we won 14-12 through a late try. I do not recall Wigan ever winning at the LSV although I am a frail pensioner on a fixed etc' although I never say anything.
Well if I am wrong it won't be the first time. And if we did I would have been there but they didn't. 
What's everyone had for their tea ?

The best road in Wig@n is the one that leads to Leigh !!!:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_3181.jpg |

Although our game was the first played at the Salford City Stadium , I was told our game was only the certificate game , to pass H&S regs . The official opening game will be when they play the pies there . Don't know how much truth there is in that , only going off what I was told by a fellow Leyther.
Stadium review , best part of the ground was seeing that they had Strongbow on draught in the more than draughty concourse bar . Breeze block n tarmac take it they were going for the rustic feel. Might pay another visit to the stadium when it's finished or when it's been upgraded.

Quote: leythdave "The East stand at the LSV is a dedicated TV Gantry, and it has a couple of lifts to also provide a platform for wheelchairs.
Seems like saleford have tried to put it all in the main stand, to try to make it look impressive.
It was said when the LSV was built that it is the blueprint for future stadia, seems like peel holdings weren't listening.
We have Desso Grassmaster pitch, undersoil heating, high def floodlights to name a few.
Barton doesn't boast
any of this, and neither does Langtree Park for that matter!'"
The only thing Saints doesnt have is undersoil heating and thats because the stadium is a RL ground and therefore for a SUMMER sport.
Leigh sports village was built for Leigh RMI soccer club and yourselves, so needed undersoil heating as its used all year round
The floodlighting at Langtree Park is definitely HD standard. You can see how bright the lights are from the Stadium thread on the Saints board.
They are a massive improvement on those at Knowsley road or Widnes for that matter, whose floodlighting had blind spots in corners were it was dark.
As for the pitch at Langtree park. I dont know if its a Desso Grassmaster but it is certainly a high tech pitch, and one for which Saints have consulted the head groundsman of LSV about.

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 |

So you wont be playing there till May, I take it? , and you will be turning down money from Liverpool/Everton to let there reserves play?
If it had been ' stitched ' you would know about it, the process involves machinery on the pitch for 2/3 weeks, although it was only installed after 2 years at the LSV

Aren't St. Helens Town FC supposed to be based there as well? I can sadly say the LSV definitely wasn't built for RMI, but the undersoil heating has definitely come in handy in the LSV being awarded international fixtures in the colder months.

LSV was quite impressive on Sunday, even though there were no padded seats for those used to them!
The atmosphere will be quite good with crowds even as low as 4,000. |

| Widnes won 28 6. A couple of late tries accounted for a scoreline which flattered them. |

Spot on. Of course, Saints can always come and play postponed games at LSV - much like they used the LSV training facilities when theirs were frozen up last season, and the season before.  |

I wonder if SKY-televised games would take precedence over Premier Sports games, in such a scenario?

Yes, makes a mockery of it being a summer sport doesn't it Tony, suppose we could call it a summer sport that starts in winter. |
