Quote: MJC "I know I've said it a few times, but we all need to do our bit and get family and friends down to the super 8s. Anyone that wants a super league club should do their bit and get new and lapsed fans to come down to the LSV. If we want a SL team then we need super league crowds - we can't rely on Derek or another putting their money in.
The more bums on seats and feet on terrace makes sure our club is financially sound. Plus, as Derek said in his statement, it evidences that the town wants a super league side.
We've got some great games coming up and are playing quality rugby. There's been no greater time to convert people into Leigh fans. Let's spread the word, buy mates tickets, convince the family to attend and have some fantastic atmospheres and hopefully break some attendance records.
It's a shame that the kr game clashes with united but there's time to watch the united game beforehand in the East and then stroll over to the lsv for the game.
Come on leythers, let's do our bit!'"
I think clashing with Bolton is a bigger issue than United for Leigh fans. I expect a good crowd regardless. My brother is (usually) much more fanatical about Bolton than he is about Leigh but he is picking the Hull KR game over Bolton's season opener against Derby.
These matches are huge and shouldn't be hard to sell to the Leigh public on the back of another outstanding season. I am confident we will pull in some very respectable attendances in the 8's. The 10,000 HKR fans visiting won't hurt either
LSV will be rocking come kick off, I can't wait!
