Let it go San, the scars of last year seem so deep seated you need help. Oh and not many SL teams brought 2500 to HP in 2005, but thats all history now.

I'd say only one team did-Warrington.

Saints and Wigan managed it as well.

Don't think I'm the only one who was a little surprised at how low the announced crowd was as I can't think of any occasions where either stand has seemed busier (my rule of thumb is how far people spread out in the West, and it was busy right up to the try line at the North end).

How did it look on Blip? I havn't had chance to watch it again yet.

I go off how many stand behind sticks and there seemed more than usual but I could be wrong in fact I'm sure I am

Another thing that annoyed the hell out of me was when Higson was tackled in 1st half and the Cats player took an age to get off ,one of them crawled all over him literally ,then not long after he got Leigh for holding down ,unbelievable !!!!

Well if the noise in the North Stand, [and the West to be honest as they joined in with the singing] was anything to go off there were more than that on, the atmostphere was electric, well done to all.

I think we all know there was more than announced on

hopefully at least,they don't 'milk' the attendance figures like TO13 ? ......it's becoming embarassing nowadays......

as I said Demon,my comments were not intended as a wind-up or criticism - just an honest question ie: if the SL crowds averaged 5K where have the fans gone ?
Sounds as though you have the best team in years but with the same or lower crowds ,so what's happening ?

The complete opposite, I'd say!

Do we?
for one the attendance figures are electronically checked
for two Catalan also check the figures
for three why should the LSV tell lies for its they who do the counting
for four our Andy asked me the crowd figures when I got home and when I told him he agreed that was about the amount of tickets they had sold though he hadn't checked the official figures before he left.
for five why should Leigh Centuriions massage the figures as when in this day and age the more through the gates the better the RFL like it

so we all know do we?

Impossible to judge, as they filmed it from the west stand for some reason, seemed to be on or around the 10m line too.

No doubt someone will be along to explain shortly.

Think Fred mentioned earlier in the season that Basil requested that the game is filmed from that angle.

one of my pet hates is fans who moan all the time about refs, but on this occasion i think we were defo hard done to, but that should not be allowed to overshadow what was a truly awe inspiring performance from all our boys, what great entertainment and what amazing skill, courage and guts our brave heros showed, well done lads, lets use it to go on and win both trophies still open tp us. a very very proud leyther.
