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.

Well, you could clearly hear Millward in the background relaying his instructions, so its logical, i would imagine he'll want to watch again from his original position.

Think it's also something to do with Basil wanting to use footage from 1st half to show the players at half-time

There was a lot of criticism from Jonathan Davies and Ray French (and the 'Fax crowd of course ) about the Bulls getting away with loads of forward passes today. As they asked, "Why don't the TJ's - except they called them linesmen - say something to the ref about them?"

And lo & behold, there he was with his little flag, our mate Mr. Child! He did eventually advise Phil bentham, about a couple of forward passes, so he was being consistent with Friday night!

Selective Myopia Alan, that's all it was! haha... Also the game a couple of years ago at Gateshead, and against Fax was involving Craig Halloran just to set the record straight.

'stuff the facts Fred' there looked and sounded about 3000 !!!!

The main reason we film from the west stand now is so that the game can be relayed to a computer easily and clips are 'tagged'and shown to the players at half time (and full whilst still fresh in their minds), and as the boxes on or near the half way line are usually full we have made box 4 - whilst not ideal -our home for this season.

Looking at Freds vid and my view of the west stand I would say the figures are correct.

I would say they must be, as LSV produce the attendance figures, based on 'clicks' (if they still do that!) of the turnstiles. Mind you, from the noise - especially of the North Standers - it sounded like there were many more on.
