Come on E.S.O.you know no matter how well you play you can't beat Fev at Bramall Lane, history proves it icon_smile.gif though i know records ate there to be beaten!

BTW if you fancy meeting up for a beer before the game the game next week let me know icon_smile.gif

PS great win for your lads to night I never saw it coming in fact lost a bit of money taking Leigh at -6, I should know better! icon_smile.gif

Yours in Sport,
The Grinder

Your right we shouldn't rely on any away support because apart from 2 or 3 teams there isn't any , having watched leigh for over 40 years I do think we are on borrowed time, anyway like I said u have a great team can u tell our board how u do it financially cause it looks like we haven't a clue!! Oh and Stokes hates leigh with a passion menzie should of been at least sin binned , but that isnt an excuse for the defeat we were out played , would still like to meet him and stick that whistle up his backside.

Quote: E.S.O "Thought our following was pretty respectable to be fair considering what a nightmare it is to get over to the dark side of the Pennines on a Friday night. We've never had the biggest away following. If your club was run correctly you wouldn't have to rely on big away supports to keep financially stable.

Anyway, on to the game, I thought we were excellent tonight. Blew them away in the first half, thanks in part to Leigh's indiscipline. They threatened to come back a couple of times in the second half but we scored at the right times to keep a comfortable cushion. The best side won, no doubt about that.

I didn't think Menzie's "stamp" looked good from where I was. I'm not suggesting for one second he deliberately made contact with Littler's head but he did seem to deliberately kick out. We'll have to see what the judiciary say but at least he'll be able to play in the Fev game, if he gets banned for a couple of games after that it shouldn't be a disaster.

QLT seemed to be back to his sharpness from last season tonight, and Patch Walker had his best game for the club so far.

If we play like that next week we have every chance of turning Fev over. Looking forward to it!'"



You thrashed us and we Leythers know it.

I don't give a toss about your away support but you were quicker handled better and tackled better.

We will improve from tonight but well done your lads on a great performance.

To finish had I been the ref I would have sent Yeres off because it was nasty.Bet Yeres knows it too ie that it was nasty.

We were comprehensively beaten tonight, by a very good team. I don't like Stokes, but any Leigh fan who thinks he cost us the game is deluded. Out-thought, out-muscled, out-paced and very well beaten. Oh for an organising half back like Brambani, or Walker! Well done - your game on Thursday should be a belter.

Oh, and whilst your support wasn't great in numbers, they supported your team with passion. For anyone to attempt that journey on a Friday night, is highly commendable. I wonder how many we'll bring to DV, for the return on a Friday - not many more, I'll wager! icon_sad.gif

To be fair I looked at my dad straight away and said: "he's off."

Don't think the ref got a good view of it and it's a sure sign it's going on report when he consults the berk with the flag.

Quote: dave@twist "Sheffield were excellent tonight against a very poor defence ,we are in financial trouble again and I think its time to give up, we cant get out of the mess were in when most champinship side are bringing less than 50 supporters.'"


Are we blaming other Championship team's fans for Leigh not winning, or summat ? eusa_eh.gif

Do they just boycott Leigh ? Or do other clubs suffer from lack of away support ? eusa_eh.gif

1500+ there last night. Nearly twice what we get at Sheffield. icon_biggrin.gifOH:

No offence but you need to reconsider your interpretation of the facts. a050.gif

It's nothing personal, it's just that (like yourselves) we don't have any local derbies (apart from Swinton) so only Halifax or Featherstone bring a few hundred fans. Never any atmosphere at the 'concrete morgue' it's bl00dy awful....espescially when you get stuffed !!! icon_confused.gif

That spell in the first half where we had about ten sets on the trot set us up, didn't it ? They came back at us a bit when they had a string of penalties early in the second half. If they'd scored next at 12-24, they'd probably have made a reyt game of it.

Not a bad effort I suppose, bearing in mind we played a fair part of the game with twelve men.

Give over Charlie, he cained you first half but it was one of the most indisciplined performances I've seen from a side at this level.
