Leigh Cup match are we all sitting? : Fri Apr 20, 2012 7:20 am  

I know we like to stand and its cheaper but to create a better atmosphere for the lads (who will hopefully turn up next week) are we all sitting together?
Even after last night I think we will take a good number of fans over, come on last night it all went wrong, next week maybe its our turn to get all those bounces of the ball and play to the best of our ability, surely it can't be any worse?

Yes, Barmy Army lads are sitting.

Think most going on coach too.

Suggest standing occupy the East side of the North stand in a similar way as we move to the left of the sticks towards the new stand at yours, should be a great atmosphere with 3000 plus on and I do fancy you on sunday due to our small squad and the injuries we have, plus the 2 dc's will be missing.
Another hassle free night at the shay for a Fax v Leigh game - thanks lads.

Early starters - Try East clubhouse, Penky and Fieldhouse old haunt, Leigh Miners only 300m away, Centurion pub will mix with a lot of Leythers and they do free food pre game, Park Inn on site does meal and ale deals, good Spoons at Thomas Burke and Yates in town with food deals also.

We're hoping the club will give the Fax fans a few turnstiles marked out for you, in the North End of the seated West Stand and the West side of the terraced Nortn Stand, so you're all together and we get a good atmosphere.

I hope they dont use the west of the north, thats where most Leythers come in and stand.

It wouldn't bother us surely for one game, just do like you said and mark the turnstiles Fax and Leigh.

I feel people are territorial where they stand, if we set up camp slap in the middle at Fax it would cause irritation - same would happen at Leigh so why risk it when 20 yards the other way creates great banter and atmosphere

you sure both dc will be missing? as cas out of cup. but spencer probably will be missing as he was in last round when at south wales.

DC's are Laithwaite and Spencer from last night, Brierley is here for the season

We had Bibey and Taylor injured, so they would slot back in if fit but Littler is up before the 'lets ban championship players for as long as we can' committee next week.

Parker and Duffy didnt come back on last night and we have a very, very small squad due to cost this year
