Leigh have been allocated 980 tickets so think no records to be broken there then

They can bring as many as they like and pay on the gate. Capacity is over 20,000 so we should fit them all in

I wonder if it will be the same 2000 that Beaumont said you took to Batley, in a crowd of 1600

I think Beaumont has been forgiven as well and will be allowed in. So that's one. And his ego is another I suppose

Derek 'Two Seats' Beaumont

three seats actually, one for each cheek and another for the orifice in between.

He's allowed in but he's said he can't make it on Sunday

I've checked my diary and it seems I'm watching television that day.

Didn't they announce a silly number for your visit last year that was then amended

Yes, but it was amended upwards

Well, it probably passes for Summer conditions over your side of the Hill.



4-5 degrees probably means Rangi won't be playing. I believe his contract says (although for the benefit of our owner, I'm not telling who divulged this!

) that he has to have the under-pitch heating on at LSV, for anything under 10C!

Very unlikely to see 2000, team not on top form, the Rowley leaving fiasco & a cold February day at Odsal will limit numbers travelling. Maybe we will see 1200 > 1500 travel for this one.

Looking forward to it, even should we lose I will console myself with the fact that The Sparrow seems to have a mighty fine selection of beers to offer .....

I will be drinking reshponshibly.

According to Twitter... the good Dr MK is attending with him! Not enough space for that amount of ego in the coral stand!

Any Leigh fan that fancies a drink in cue gardens before the game I shall gladly have a drink with you

Mines a Guinness by the way

Not just the sparrow, there's the whole indi quarter(that's how the cool kids are saying it) to experience. If you're after food before or after the game, might I suggest the pies in the Bradford Brewery?

Pies have been discontinued I'm sorry to say Roofaldo. Replaced by a more generic menu. I'll be in there on Saturday to berate the owners.

Are you going to berate them by drinking their ale by any chance?

:3kpa1xd9
Haha, yes - we don't actually [i:3kpa1xd9expect[/i rain, in summer, on this side of the pennines ..



Reference to Summer rugby though was my usual ironic reference to starting the, 'Summer', season in in Feb! If Rangi's lucky we may put the covers on.......

Yes that'll teach 'em.

Real shame about the pies. The replacement menu is underwhelming.

Clough not back yet, but should be soon, according to Chev in today's T&A article....

Edited for accuracy

Squad sees Johnny Walker and Steve Crossley returning in place of Joe Lumb and Oscar Thomas:

Jay Pitts, Matty Blythe, Adrian Purtell, Rhys Lovegrove, Johnny Walker, Kris Welham, Alex Mellor, Lee Gaskell, James Clare, Adam O’Brien, Steve Crossley, Adam Sidlow, Omari Caro, Mitch Clark, Richie Mathers, Danny Addy, Tom Olbison, Kurt Haggerty, Dale Ferguson.

Mathers
Caro
Welham
Purtell
Clare
Gaskell
Addy
Sidlow
AoB
Lovegrove
Olbison
Ferguson
Pitts

Clark
Crossley
Blythe
Haggarty

Walker and Mellor to miss out.

I'd go along with that 17 but swap Lovegrove with Crossley so we've some more quality on the bench to come on.

I'd also consider having Haggerty in the starting 13 with Ferguson as sub. I think Ferguson, Clark and Lovegrove would give us a real boost off the bench.
