| Quote: Jukesays "Could Leigh have barred wigan tv crew?
Just asking as I'm pretty sure the ground isn't Leighs?
"The site is operated by Leigh Sports Village Company on behalf of Wigan Council – owners of the stadium, athletic stadium and clubhouse, swimming pool and sports centre, rugby league clubhouse and 3G pitches. "
I'm also pretty sure most of the boxes were sold out to people through mickey macs testimonial committee? Not sure how much say leigh will have had in that either or how "Commercially" successful it will have been?
I'm one of the last people who will have a go at Leigh but I think one or two are getting a little giddy.'"
Comment about 'barring' Wigan TV was tongue-in-cheek. Although I suspect Centurions have at least as much say about what happens at LSV, as Wigan do at the DW? 
A share of an almost 6,000 gate is not to be sniffed at - let's see how much our share of the gate against Dewsbury, next week amounts to. |

SAINTS THE ORIGINAL AND PERENNIAL CHEATS
For sale full Saints kit (circa 1989). Shirts in pristine condition, but shorts badly soiled.
For 27 - 0 you get a trophy
For 75 - 0 you get sod all.
Wigan had eight in a row
Saints have five in a row:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_3076.jpg |

Just to put this in context. The attendance of 5,792 on Sunday was higher than all but two of Leighs home games in the League last season, and one of those was a "free ticket" game v Batley.

Quite true RG, It just shows the interest it's brought in Leigh, now that we are a SL club.

Can't agree with your estimations there Chaz.
Away (South) was at best 3/4 full (Bradford brought more).
North was similar 3/4 + but we also always seem to squeeze to middles & leave sides even when packed.
Main stand as MattyB I think it was said, was only half full.
Probably right that 25 minutes to go the mass exodus began & by the hooter there was hardly a soul for Wigan players to go over to.

| Quote: Cruncher "The division they play in may change, but [iLeigh never do.[/i
You guys really are the Walder Frey of rugby league.
If you want to make an impact this year, you're going to have to aim a lot higher than scoring petty [i50 - 10[/i victories over Wiganers.'"
Ah, [iCrusty[/i ! Bless !
You really are the [iWalter Mitty[/i of rugby league.
Yes it was a friendly, yes the result is irrelevant to Wane & many Wigan fans, but not all Wigan fans.
Do some Wigan fans feel just a little cheated by the relative lack of 1st team involvement in the match & a complete mis match 2nd half ? Or is that kind of slaughtering fun for you ?
Now that the pleasantries are out of the way, Iceland have been trying to contact you. Could you please return the shopping trolley from your front yard in Platt Waz as it is [iNOT YOUR PRAM[/i.
Also could Wigan Warriors RLFC please advise Derek of when they are likely to need to 'borrow' our nice new Rugby League stadium when your football stadium is unavailable as we have a [iReal Big Club[/i to consider in [iManchester United[/i.
Ta cock. |

You sir are Stephen Fry and I claim my £5.
Such wit I won't sleep tonight in anticipation of a witty retort. |

Atomic, I think the Wigan conditioning Coach is Mark Bitcom. |

Manchester United 'reserves'.
Our stadium owners (and my football side) took the manager of the footy team you need to consider so it's hardly Barcelona's first team you're dealing with is it?!
You best hope our stadium owners remain civil or the council may hand your stadium over to the Boroughs big club  |

If you don't bother to go to the game when you live in the locality then you are not really a fan and therefore your views are invalid. It's simple.:icons39ad_files/4821-1859san_c-msnicons.jpg |

I, along with many other Wigan fans i would imagine, have already forgotten about this fixture... Can't believe it's still being chewed over..

Just because it's your Grand Final doesn't mean it's ours!
One day we might just acknowledge Leigh enough to send a team who are all old enough to vote.
