Home end sold out at Wigan with not many left in the Leigh end. Have to say when Leigh got mentioned as an SL side in the past I was dismissive of adding another team in the Wigan area but I've been proven wrong and it's a better strategy than the scattergun expansion teams the game has wasted money on.

And in more damning state of the game news...Barrow have sent out a rallying call for new funds, but worst of all the owner is claiming that they year they made the most profit recently was 2020 when they didn't play, everyone was furloughed and later in the year the ground was used for private functions. So basically may as well give up being an RL team with the ever decreasing central funds.

Think it will be best if Wigan win tonight. We don't want Wigan coming to us next Friday looking to kickstart their season into life after an opening night defeat. It'll be a hard enough game for us as it is without Wigan having any extra incentive for victory. It probably won't make that much of a difference in the end, but reverse psychology has it merits sometime!!

Pathetic squad selection from Salford. Interested to see how Leigh go tonight. They've had a tough job replacing some big hitters.

I'd love to see IMG fashion a catchy slogan out of that scenario!! We had some decent battles with Barrow, late 70s - early 80s, it is depressing for the game as a whole to see clubs like this struggling to even barely survive.
