Salford v Saints....4,975

Wonder if the Doc will be forming a duo with Derek soon

Well, reading his tweet tonight, he's either had enough of Salford or Mr Harris. Time will tell.

Good to see the figures branded about and to be honest anything over 4,000 in this league is huge.
Something for the club to really build on.
Been a touch wary about believing attendance predictions ever since the 'huge gate' expected v Huddersfield in SL as essentially that was '8,000 sold' yet only 4,000 turned up but if Derek is quoting them figures then we are looking at a very big gate as I'd wager the majority of our support is pay on the day.

Who remembers the CC QF match at Wilderspool in 2002 ?

I remember reading th local Guardian stating that the game will not be all ticket as Leigh will bring no more than 1500.

How wrong they were !!

If the majority of our support turn up to pay on the day we`ll be in for a monster crowd, given the stated sales so far.

Really hope we can put a good show on Sunday just hope we don't get beat badly then all these new fans come back week in week out this team deserve to be playing in front of 5000 ever other week.

What an atmosphere that was,we must of taken 5000,and would of won if they did not have one of the best Aussie scrum halfs ever playing for them,Alfie.

I'm a Wire fan and there are seven of us with tickets already bought for the North Stand who are coming along on Sunday. A group of us went to the LSV 3-4 last times last year (which shows how few games we ever have on Sundays) and you are a fantastic side who play great rugby. It's probably not the done thing to have a local rival as a 'second team', but that's how I feel about Leigh. I bear no animosity towards Leigh and never have - the polar opposite, in fact. You are a great club and brilliant to watch, and I hope there is a 8k+ crowd on there on Sunday.

While I'm here, a few clarifications over the Wire v Leigh QF at Wilderspool in 2002, where you brought 5,000.
It was the fifth round in 2001 and the old Railway End at Wilderspool only held 3,000 at a push, but it was still a great attendance in a 8,500+ crowd and you made enough din. If the game had been in 2002 then you'd have knocked us out (mention 2002 to any Wire fan and watch their colour drain away).

I'm off to Hull this evening (it's our year this year, so I don't want to miss anything - it's always our year, just so you know).

Enjoy Sunday. I know I will.

Wire are most Leythers 2nd team now, due to Hilly and Higham, so good luck tonight and enjoy Sunday. The site of streams of urine flowing down the terraces as the portaloos overflowed was a joy to behold that day - following was well over 3k as we had the terrace to the side and a bit of the stand also

Cheers mate, think most Leigh fans I know have a soft spot for Warrington,and met many Wires who have similar feelings as you do towards Leigh.
RE the 2001 game It felt like 5000 as their was no room to move but thanks for putting me right.

See you Sunday with your mates.

In my innocence of youth (or 14/15 anyway, no comments please Snowy!) we were stood right down at the front that day at Wilderspool and in all innocence were "oh Lanky, Lanky..." rather than what we now know was the real chant!

Looks like the West stand sold out message isn't strictly true. Just been able to get one from ticket office.
