| Well if your expecting to see any first teamers then you'll be mostly disappointed as this will be our U20's vs Leigh its even classed as an U20's friendly on the official site the First Team play Rovers, Giants & Reds & the U20's play Leigh & Barrow you may get Dudson & possibly for fitness Fielden & Prekky though in truth those last two are unlikely.

| All the revenues for the game are going to Leigh. Wigan will send a mainly U20 side with a few first team squad players.

Wigan 178 - 64 Leeds
Wigan wins - 6 Leeds wins - 0[/color:1fnfdzuc]
I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass, and I am all out of bubblegum.
Don't you struggle. Don't you fight. Don't you worry, cause it's your turn tonight!

| I'm sure last time we played Leigh they kicked up a bit of a fuss as we only sent an under 20's team. As it turned out that was probably the right call as our Under 20's only very narrowly lost that day.
When this this years game was announced on the official site it did say that it would be a side mostly made up of under 20's.

| In purely playing terms its hard to see what either club would gain from Wigan sending a side packed with first teamers to Leigh.

| I hope Gelling, Amos and Goulding all feature at some point in either the Leigh game or Hull KR away the best partnership with Charnley need's to be determined.

| 9/10 first team squad players and the 20's would be the right balance for me as a Leyther. That would provide a good game for the fans and be a good hit up for the players.
When your 20's were sent last time it was a joke, and a direct response to Basil being coach. The intensity was poor and the ref awful.
Wire have benefitted by the game being guaranteed (due to undersoil heating) and on a perfect playing surface, when many were called off. Wire always sent the first team fresh from warm weather training, then brought on fringe at HT although 2011 it was much later as the score was much closer.
For a SL club to develop a relationship with a club who can guarantee the fixture, due to its facilities, has value, if its abused that value will go to another local SL club.
You have far more to gain from playing Leigh than Salford, both on and off pitch.

In fairness that does say a reserve side rather than under 20's so it will be somwhere between the two.

So its not the 20's - I expect 10 or so 1st team squad players then 10 or so others to make up your team. The squad players alone would be on far more than our entire playing budget so that mix would ensure an interesting fixture with a decent gate - 4000ish.
£16 for a dad n lad to sit and watch a Lobby v Humble derby is good value imo, and I hope you bring over a thousand or so.

Just seen it says reserve at the bottom - we must have tabloid journos writing the headlines for the website. Then again I should have just read the article in full.

Get LEIGH outta wigan: |
|
| How big is your first team squad?.
On the Leigh website it says your sending a strong squad over,at least 20 of your first team squad will be involve and a small number of your under 20s.That should make it a bit more watchable for you lot don't you think?.

After what you did to Salford we should send the big guns and send the young uns to Salford.
RIP for Charley Pawsey,he made Stan Owen look like an angel.
Cheers to all Leigh fans,I have spent many a match at Kirkhall lane.

Aye another one bites the dust.
Cant believe how bad salford were.We came into this game with 17 players, one of the props had'nt played for 8/9 months another prop who's trained once and we lost beswick after 25minutes.
Looking forward to the wigan game now,more so with a few more bigger names playing.

| I'm surprised to see a couple of comments about "under 20's" and "money going to Leigh" as reasons not to go, how about go and see the young potentials and give them some encouragement? Even a little boost to Leigh as a club, cracking ground to rival many SL clubs and historic team that deserve a break and a bit of support.

The money going to Leigh was probably from me, but I see that as reason to go rather than no to. I'm sorry if it seemed the other way.
