| Quote: Monsieur Invisible "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.'"
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.

I don't see the point of announcing a stand being sold out when it obviously isn't.

But you're likely to put walk up fans off if you announce it's sold out. Plus why would you save some for walk up fans if you could sell out in advance? |

LSV fan information is now saying only east stand on sale see bottom of this link

Can you tell me if my assumption is correct: Coming across from Bradford and will be unable to confirm my attendance until match day. That being the case it seems that I can buy a ticket at the ground if they are not sold out possibly for the East Stand.

Yes you can buy on the day and although the majority of Bulls fans will be in the South stand if that's sold out then buy an East ticket and sit in the South section. Get your ticket as early as early as possible as there will no doubt be queues at the ticket office, so if you're going for a drink or something to eat before the game try and get your ticket first.

I estimate an attendance of c7,500 for Sundays match v the Bulls.
Can anyone remember the last attendance figure for Leigh at Hilton Park in the regular rounds, i.e before playoffs, the match where the old heroes such as Des Drummond, John Woods & Murphy paraded on the pitch.
Interested to know, i seem to recall around 7,000.
Cheers.

I've been reliably informed that the last time we got anything over even 5-6,000 for a regular season game in the second tier was 7,027 vs Barrow in April 1978 |
