You may be hoisted by your own petard with this one.After all,it is you with the overlarge stadium for your overhyped team where your supporters fail to fill it by more than one third.
With some of your followers attending the Reebok for the round ball game I came across a rather depressing video - I can't find the owner - it is not for profit;I haven't reproduced it in breach of copyright and I certainly haven't stolen any intellectual property - it contains unnecessary bad language but it shows away fans pointing at empty seats in the home section and murders a spiritual song to apparently mock the home support. rlHERErl
I might make it to the West Stand and after exchanging intelligent intercourse with any Leigh interlocuters,(unlikely) should we be behind by 40 points,(even more unlikely;well,impossible) I may take to ruining the spiritual song myself.
Of course,with Sheffield Eagles going to win the game,and after the failure of your side to score tries in the second half of your 2 home qualifier games thus far,I can only hope the North Stand isn't emptied after 40 minutes.
I hope our players take note of the conspiracy against us, and the opportunity afforded to Hull Kr and Wakefield fans has not been afforded to us.Your club hierarchy must be running scared.They must be superstitious.It seems to me you really must be on the crest of a slump.Long may it continue... ![]()
Have to take issue with you on this one AC.
The South Stand is only open when the visitors bring a sizeable number of supporters. There is a costly issue of stewarding to consider, especially if said stewards were to outnumber the supporters they are stewarding! 
It's true that we are currently only filling the LSV to the extent of about one third. I would politely enquire how the Eagles have been doing in filling the Don Valley, (capacity 25,000) before its demise, and The Keepmoat (capacity 15,231) We have all cast envious glances at the news that you have had to switch your final two home Qualifiers to Bramall Lane (capacity 32,702) to accommodate the hordes of Eagles fans who are expected to cheer you to SL qualification!
P.S. You'd be best joining us in the West Stand on Sunday - we're much more civilised than our North Standers.

Alan,
I do sometime regret not purchasing one of your programmes due,in part,to the ill-feeling engendered by your club;you have always been very good on the forums and interact very well at all times.Thanks,and well done. 
Other than to state the club has not had a stadium to call its own - nor had a council construct one - I believe the Amercans would say it is like comparing apples and pears.
The new stadium,in the city,despite all the other sporting attractions,will be filled to more than a third capacity.
These Qualifiers can act as a springboard to raise the profile of the club but it doesn't help when rugby league players are banned for drugs offences;Directors of Rugby are potty-mouthed on social media and allegations of 'conspiracies' are given publicity - not to mention foul play during games etc.
The club is only 31 years of age - if it still struggles for public appreciation after 120 years then it may be time to worry.
Our club,fortunately,seem pretty laid-back about it all.Like me,they may prefer quality to quantity.
Enjoy the game.The sport needs more supporters like you.

I'll start it off,then:
Barlow missing we'll leave to Featherstone fans to discuss.
Do they expect Higham to last 80 minutes or will they have Reynolds on the bench? They usually have all forwards on the bench.
Are they expecting their heavyweight forwards to march down the middle all game?
With the defensive efforts that Higham will be under,will he be able to scoot;bearing in mind he ain't no Roby - but we need still be alert and aware.
Will the Leigh squad change any by 3pm on Sunday?

Mr James Child is the referee as the away side,massive underdogs,put in a pretty reasonable performance and win the game.
I might just enjoy this weekend - particularly if history repeats itself on Sunday.
Welcome back Mr Hock...

| Well you Seagulls got what you deserved ,NOWT,talk about playing niggle tactics ,maybe 50% of your tackles were high shots ,I'm sure Tubes tactics were hit Leigh high every tackle, still we won Brierleys pace flattened you and our forwards were much to big and strong, Charlie knew.  Angelic Cynic where are you?Good to see the 21 Seagull fans to swell the crowd. |
