Was a great atmosphere, good craic around the town, from just a passing word in Coral Island or a chat in Spoons with opposition supporters, and even a bunch of saints fans in town for the darts wishing us well!

he game was a cracker and could have gone either way right up until the end, on the way out your fans where waving to us from their coaches, and several were stood on the corner of the car park shaking hands and saying well done as we left.

They wern looking for a pub by any chance were they? One of them was probably me if they were.

Cracking weekend, good rugby and good banter with the Leigh fans long in to Sunday night. Lets hope we get to do it all again in the Grand Final.

There was quite a few along the way back to the coach but there was 2 sets of couples in particular right on the corner of the car park making the point of shaking hands and saying well done to almost every Leyther who was in our party as we went past.

If that was you............................. nice to meet you lets hope we meet again.

I got a great video of the Manchester pub before the game.. Every single person in there chanting "are you watching featherstone"... haha

Despite us losing I just want to say what a fantastic day it was I loved meeting every Leigh fan before and after the game I am prouder than ever to be a fax fan after yesterday because of how our fans where and the great effort by the team in such a fantastic game. Well done Leigh and your fans are also a great credit to the club

We were on the bus that stayed behind waiting for stragglers (another story altogether Neil and Javid !!), and we watched every coach leave. Congrats and acknowledgement was shown to all Leigh supporters leaving and they returned the compliment (except 1 Leigh fan that was obviously hungry, as he was gesturing eating a hotdog I think) .
Well done to both sets of fans for a wonderful, friendly, fun day out. Couldn't do anything about the weather, but that's British summer seaside weather for you, that was the only dampener on the day. Even though we lost the result, we didn't lose the game. Both teams did themselves proud and were a fine advertisement for Championship Rugby.
Super League and it's extra money doesn't necessarily mean extra entertainment. Fantastic day out for all, well done players and supporters of both sides

The Leigh end were singing it just after kick off but not sure if it carried over to the 'Fax end?

Aye we sang it just after kick off as well. To be honest I thought the acoustics weren't great at Blackpool Stadium as I rarely heard Leigh sing but on the replay on tele it was clearly loud as fook in your end as well. Just thought it was a point worth making.
