| Of course if the Wigan fans don't turn up they risk being outsung on their home turf - on their own head be it.

What do you reckon if they reduce those prices newshy?

| I think reduced prices is the way to go. As was said earlier, Wiganners won't turn out for this unless the prices are low.

| Wigan are effectively in the boat Leigh were in last weekend!
The price should be reduced from the usual league pricing due to playing a lower league team. Prices too high, no-one will bother! Leigh should take note! (if the prices are reduced)

| I think the attendance will be OK, it is after all a proper local derby. Leigh fans will attend because it is a joust with the big boys and Wigan fans will be looking for their team to smash the upstarts from down the road.

No they don't, but you'd be surprised at the interest that has been generated.

| I haven't posted on here for quite a while but continue to follow the lads whenever I'm home.
I cannot wait for this game and the fact it is on a Friday Night is even better. The whole occasion will be electric and Mrs B will also be attending (which she doesn't normally). If its anywhere near the atmosphere of the Leeds game last year it will be amazing even at an away venue.
However, I do have a nagging feeling that all the supporters who have stuck by the club since Super League and rode the roller coaster may well get let down by the idiots who will crawl out of the woodwork !!!!!!!
I really hope that we can get a massive following into the away end and just concentrate on supporting the Leigh lads without resorting to the infantile, outdated and unacceptable, moronic chants of hating Wigan. The Leigh team require 100% support from the terraces to get them through an extremely tough task and that means concentrating solely on Leigh and its staff. I find the 'We hate Wigan' chants a bit embarrassing and feeble. Hopefully all the idiots who get punchy after a can of strongbow will drink J20 for the evening and engross themselves in an atmosphere of excitement and humour no matter what the result or scoreline is.
Town of Leigh : Get yourselves down to the game and enjoy a thrilling evening of RL and support your towns team like never before. This could turn out to be one of the best nights ever, win or lose and hopefully provide memories to last a lifetime. You just never know what might happen.................... I can't wait !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Peawapp is most surprised at this post from Chas, as the other week I followed a bus down Wigan road and when it stopped at the lights the advert on the back of the bus read "Sharpys Fish chips and Peys £3-95) Wiganers only," this is surely against our Human rights for a bloody start off ,anyway I have enquired and found out that sharpys belongs to a relation of the Thatcher loving David Whelan, and consequently I have to report that although I will be at the Match to cheer on the mighty Centurions, I will not under any circumstances whatsoever be spotted Dead in Sharpys

That was basically a way of marketing it for non-matchdays, ie it's likely only those in the immediate area would be the ones frequenting the restaurant.

Peawaap mi owd mucker , dont worry Charlie will NEVER desert his Leyther or Working class roots , im NO fan of Dave Whelan , not my type of bloke at all , but Sharpys is a good Chippy ,i love plain English food , i NEVER touch anything Spicy , cant stand it , gimme a good Fish and Chips , or a Carvery anytime .
Sharpys has a take away also , try it , and let me know ,as for the bus advert , ive seen it , again just marketing , i know many think im a pie lover but im a 100% Leyther through and through , and want nothing more than seeing Leigh butcher the pies .
