Please forgive me for taking up so much space on your forum, but I thought you may want a taster of what's in our matchday magazine on Thursday evening. You get 52 pages, (including a couple of mentions of the Vikings ) plus Game On for £3!

ROBBIE PAUL recalls his busy BBC weekend and his emotional return to Odsal

IAN MILLWARD looks back at the last three games including the cup tie at Bradford

LYNDSEY SMITH previews forthcoming events at LSV

DAVE PARKINSON updates his stats, pens three match reports and a couple of reserve games. ‘In Season’ is missing this week, due to technical difficulties! His ‘try assist’ stats make fascinating reading. Dave has reclaimed the Visitors profile this week, with assistance from the Vikings’ Mark Naughton.

ALLAN ROWLEY praises the noisy Leythers who went to Bradford.

BOB SHUTTLEWORTH looks at the A&B Motors Cup and reminisces about Bert Causey.

JAMES GORDON wonders if the ‘Magic’ weekend’ is losing some of its magic.

TONY WILLIAMS passes a withering judgement on Salford’s announcement that ‘work has started’ on their new stadium. (again!) I think I’ll donate my flat cap to him!

MAURICE JONES and WAYNE KEEGAN’s photos are again prominent – Wayne having captured most of the tries against Sheffield. He and Maurice also captured excellent shots of Dave Alstead’s ‘tackle’ that got him sent off, but I haven’t published them in ‘The Centurion’!

STEVE MANNING updates us on the final run-in of the BARLA season.

SHAUN CURRIE is determined to stamp out smoking in the stadium!

ALAN EDGE picks up on Steve McNamara’s warlike quotes, on getting the England job and discusses Melbourne Storm’s spectacular breach of the Aussie salary cap.

The COMMUNITY STAFF welcome numerous primary schools and dancers to the game.

COMMERCIAL Department remind us again about the upcoming Corporate Cup competition.

All this, plus the regular LOTTERY and LISA news, plus GAME ON magazine – still for just £3!

£3 just like the entry price and all the rest the lsv has to offer RIPOFF

Couple of mentions? i see bugger all Vikings mentions in that brief, i wont be wasting 3 pound on any Wigan programme.

Centurion my ar[is[/ie

On a serious note though £16 to get in is a little steep, Widnes allow you to buy in adavance and save £2 why cant Leigh do this? if i bought the programme and perhaps a drink and bag of crisps i would be up to £25.

Perhaps thats why your only getting 1,800 at games.

It was a pun - hence the Actually, Widnes do figure prominently, but it wasn't mentioned in that summary, as I didn't want to upset Leythers, by saying it was all about Widnes! Programme (you get Game On with it) at £3 is better value than the food - honestly! (although you can't eat the programme)

I suppose its a fair point, but our average attendance is on the up !!

[sizeUnlike yours !!![/size

Lots of Widnes supporters writing in the programme I see, how does one going about getting that gig...

Presume you mean James Gordon & Tony Williams? We picked them up as volunteers, from LastTackle.com. And very good they are too - despite being Widnes fans!
