The stats might prove otherwise but I feel that we get less Friday night games than we used to.'"
One was done a few years back, and Friday came out favourite by quite a way. |

| Quote: Dick Jones "You play Hull the Friday after so I reckon you'll want Friday best crowd option I reckon is Sunday afternoon .'"
Sunday may be better as far as Leigh fans attending goes as that is when your games are normally played but we have been playing on friday nights for years. Our support in general don't seem to like sunday games anymore, attendances are often down on sundays and atmosphere is always flat. Friday would generate better crowd and atmosphere from our lot. Hopefully the rarity of this derby will help coax a few of the people who don't normally attend our cup ties into turning up and you lot will travel in good numbers so it will feel and sound like this derby should. |

Agreed. Most of them have had a rest already. Those that haven't have two thirds of a league campaign left to get rested in. |

We don't need a crust we can us knifes forks and spoons, that's why Lobby has no crust.  Be gentle with us guys.  |

| Quote: stillinthepast "Nethen Pemps there is no train as far as I know, the nearest train station to Leigh that runs services to Wigan is from Atherton. If any of my friends from Leigh ( I have 4 I think ) want me to get them from Leigh to Atherton I will arrange it so they can catch the train and will then return the hospitality they showed to me on my visits to Leigh.
( I am not talking about free ale though). ![]()
Thanks for that mate but I will be on the train from Salford.
Should be in Wigan about 2 hours b4 kick off for a pastie and a couple of swifties in the pub opposite Wigan Wallgate.
Hope we meet up before the game Brian.

For a few swifties you'd do worse than venture into The Anvil near the bus station.

Think it's a great draw for both clubs, good banter, better crowd for both clubs than any other SL v Champs game would have been, you get to go through, we ease our bank balance.
Looking forward to it, one try and we'll go bananas. I expect about 2k Leythers there, maybe more.
Looking forward to watching Tomkins play, hope he does, and going for a beer with Captain 13.

He played against North Wales Crusaders last year so would be surprised if he doesn't play against you. |

I really do think Wane will put our a strong of a side as possible.
Am I right in thinking cup gate receipts are spilt 50/50? Might be worth, and as gesture of goodwill, to make it 75% in Leigh's favour. That might encourage more Leigh fans to turn up as it will benefit their club more. We need to really maximise the interests of Wigan fans for this game. One way to do this is for Leigh to bring a substantial following.

| We need to be careful here. I mean the village of Leigh does have similarities wirh Australia. Oz was created as a place for us to dump our convicts whilst Leigh was a place for Wigan to dump those who were still inter breeding and being born with more heads than they were fingers. Australia shook it off and became a vibrant nation. Leigh, well.........didn't.
