Well said!! I posted last week that we may not have great team on paper but remember the team Tony Benson Had or we had last season? They were better by far on paper BUT they played with no pride no effort no comitment to the club or the fans IF we had of lost yesterday i hope everyone that was there would of been as proud as they were winning!

Sounds like the group of players Widnes now have.

Is it that he's deaf? Because yesterday he seemed to be struggling to hear the crowd at the end of the game even though he was right in front of us... Most strange....

this gate got amended to 3202

Fantastic for a club who have a bigger population than Leigh and no other club of any significance in any code for 50 miles at least,and have just played brilliantly against Wigan

If you don't get near to 3000 on a Bank Holiday in a derby now ,you might as wel give up.

Probably, yet I'm not sure Leigh v W***n would have attracted 6200+ in a Challenge Cup tie, this season

Get real of course they would ,Wigan would of brought 4000 at least and Leigh would more than matched that.

i have to agree it would have been a lot bigger crowd than the friendly.

A Leigh-Wigan Challenge Cup tie would have seen 7-8000 at Leigh thats for sure and prob 12-14000 at JJB Stadium I reckon.

Lee was offered on a plate to Leigh. All Neil Kelly had to do was make a phone call to Wigan and Lee would have been playing for Leigh instead of Barrow.

Wigan have around 8 young players available to be loaned out. Maybe more. The proximity of Leigh to Wigan means that the Wigan youngsters always want to go to Leigh over other clubs because it enables them to more readily/easily combine training with their Loan club and Wigan. Even Lee resides in Wigan. Decent facilities also help.

Agreed - one day (maybe) we'll get a Bank Holiday derby at home!! Remember the days, when Leigh and Widnes alternated the home game at Easter?.

The next Bank Holiday Monday, we've got.............................Batley (away, of course!)
