Hoppy's a class act and is SL bound eventually , you'd do a lot worse than snap him up as a kind of reverse part of this " partnership " .

What behaviour in particular was causing problems that should have required steward intervention?

On a related point, I saw the same steward head to the rear of the stand on a couple of occasions. There was never any trouble, and people did as they were asked (clearing the steps I think).

Why do you seem so intent on suggesting that there was malice in the Leigh fans behaviour? Your conjecture is contradictory to the actual evidence.

You are having a dig at a Leigh supporter (Salford Lad) who does a tremendous amount of work for the Leigh club, I was with him for a little while on Friday in the pub before the match and he was telling me that he never misses a match home or away.
But all you can say is trouble by Leigh supporters was averted by the stewards turning a blind eye, maybe if the Huddersfield stewards had turned a blind eye a few weeks ago against some Wigan supporters Wigan would have come out of the situation with an untarnished reputation.
I do not think so.

Brian this Wigan fan is so against everything Leigh it's embarrassing he's always on our forum putting us down as if we are not already down enough lets get back to the good banter that was being posted before the game. Sorry I couldn't have a pint with you last night mate maybe next time. Good luck for the season to all genuine Wigan fans.

Unfortunatey, even Wigan have some narrow minded fans. Nothing wrong with banter, its all part of the game. As a Wigan fan , i hope to see Leigh become more secure in their future and enjoy the rivallry between the teams, in true derby style.

Thanks jeffb. Most Leigh fans, the ones I know anyway would love to be one day half as good as Wigan are now, but sadly we are a long way from even being that. Good luck for the season.
