To be fair mapleleyther makes a good point and had I thought about it in advance I would have updated my twitter page to show the fact as well. I shall do this from my account in future but as you can appreciate it gets a bit busy towards kick-off time.

I'm on twitter as @DParkyRL and I know I've got a couple of followers already from this messageboard.

The club actually has a twitter account, set up by yours truly last year @leighcenturions on twitter.

In fairness it read like constructive critiscm with a few 'pointers' on what could be done do to improve comunication on the day.

I'm sure the club will pick up on it and try and improve it even more for the next time.
Lets not forget the club did great on the lead to this game with a early advert that it would be on baring any snow, I suppose a 'Its definatly on' message this morning would have finished it off and convinced non locals the weather was not a issue in Leigh (it was in plenty of other places).

Having said all that well done to all at Leigh for getting the match on

we had mostly our reserves playing most of the match today, think only matty smith and rachford played the full game, godwin came on 30 mins into the match then was knocked out 20 mins into the second half, nero, broughton, gibson and the forward pack were constantly interchanged throughout the game, we had 9 under 20 academy players in the 17 tonight also, i was impressed, all of them held their own against a top championship side, mind you if we had our first teamers out all match plus, feka, v. Andersom, Patten, henry, cashmere, holdsworth, and baily playing it would of been a cricket score but whats the point in that? If we can't test our youth in friendly's when can we.

I say well done lads a couple more years and you'll be there or there abouts.

Jenky - yes it was indeed meant to be constructive. I know there are about 4 people trying to do 300 different things on match day and leading up to it. Its easy for me at my desk 3000 miles away to make "helpful" comments.

All the same, if things can easily be made a bit more professional, then its worth at least making the suggestion. If only I was more local I would be able to do something a bit more tangible!

According to one of the back room staff, Salford had 7 players out, in what would have made the first team squad, as they were still in Oz.
So by HIS admission, Salford fielded 10 first teamers yesterday.
So in effect Salford was almost at full strength.

Win a friendly against a reserve salford team,they are going to win the league.

Matt, what was the attendance.

Would you still not have been better playing Wigan U20's from a revenue pov?

It was only a friendly Matt.It is a long season and teams start good, then go rubbish. Come on the Widnes.

Think it was mentioned on here that it was 2,200. I don't think that we've especially got a fair comparison with playing Wigan's reserves as it was only a day or so before the game last time around that people found out that Wigan were bringing the kids when obviously a big number of tickets had already been bought.

From a playing point of view, I think it was definitely more worthwhile to play a Salford side with a big number of experienced first teamers than a Wigan Under 20's side.

Yes but you are still rubbish.

I loved Duffys try.
