Sky missed out not televising this game. It looks like it is going to be a cracker of a match. I hope its a sellout and the atmosphere is electric. The pressure is on Leigh and they will be getting nervy by now...I also hope the Bulls supporters get there tickets and get down there.

Nice one Bullseye, if you see a few Leigh fans together ask who's Ian C most of us know each other and are very welcoming.

Well there's an open net for a joke!

Glad its not on Sky, this is one game to watch live, the LSV has a good atmosphere in general but this will be deafening on Sunday - also no drums

at LSV

Regarding the squad, we have unbelievable spirit and belief, the players cannot wait for Sunday and the opportunity to test themselves against the Championship favourites

I am certainly pleased that the stadium will be fitting of a sterling test for both teams. One thing I am sure of is though, Is that The Bulls will be supremely confident and ready for the intensity of what Leigh bring to the stadium and game. Be aware though the Bulls are ready. Lets get it on

Leigh by 40......

Referee: Joseph Cobb (Leigh)

Not the ref I would have chosen for this one but the RFL must rate him - The Leigh Refs Cobb, Bentham and Turley seem hell bent on proving how unbiased they are when we have them

Miketaurus - if both sets cant get up for this then God help us - cannot wait myself

I'm not saying Cobb will be swayed in any way, but I understand they've built him a granny flat at the LSV in the off season.

Joe Cobb is having a few pints with us Leythers before the game ie on Thursday.

We will be telling him what is expected of him and if he does not do as he is told he may be assassinated.

A sellout ??? Give over !!

Bradford will need to bring 6000 for a sellout !

No they wont! At present about 8000 has been opened but its almost gone so it looks like the capacity will be available

Quite. I have a feeling we wont be disappointed



Cobb never heard of him...Will that be the guy who is dressed up in the Ice Hockey goalie kit

Good young ref is Joe, only 14 but championship ref of the year in 2014

Don't know where Moimoi will be starting, but we're going to want our big guys on when he is on I think. If he starts punching through the line then that Stand Off will have a field day.

Leigh just announced virtually sold out and may have to ask Bulls to return some tickets

Mo you could sell sand to the Arabs.

If Leigh harbour serious intentions about being in SL next season then they need to be getting close to selling out this game!

It's their biggest game of the season, if they can't get a huge crowd for this, then they aren't going to for any other game this year.

As for us, I think we'll take a couple of thousand. At least I hope we will. Loads of people seem to be going who don't normally go away - including us!

So we should be getting a higher crowd than most Super League games this season if we want to play in SL next season? Can't agree with that comment.

If leigh want to be in SL they will have to have more than their average's. Attendances pay wages and the SL costs ... unless your there to just make up the numbers

Think we need to be realistic Miketaurus, Leigh will never be the highest supported team in SL/RL unless the others go backwards at pace, the towns/city's much bigger than us should always be the best supported. What we have is a great stadium and a brilliant relationship with LSV that will allow us to spend the full cap without an issue, but reality is that the best players want to win trophies so migrate to the biggest clubs but we should be able to hold our own and create that something special environment that brings regular shocks

If we went up this season we would be at 7k next year

It's got a big game feel about it this one. Can't wait now

Disagree, only a couple teams average over 10k. We were around 6k when were got relegated so I don't see why they need to get 12k for this fixture.

Why are the Bulls championship favourites? Is it because our squad has been analysed, compared to the other contenders by people that know their stuff and considered to be superior? Or is it because we are believed to have a bigger budget? Full timers rather than part timers.? Or is it just bacause of the name?

I dont know a great deal, if anything, about the relative strengths of championship teams. I expect we'll be much stronger than the teams that are expected to struggle, but I dont know just how strong are teams like Leigh, London, Halifax. Or Bradford to be honest.

I wonder how many Bradford fans who are planning to go the game would be aware that it would be a good idea to buy a ticket in advance?

Until I looked at this forum yesterday my uninformed expectation was that the crowd would be around 4,000-5,000, with 500-700 from Bradford and that there would be no problem paying cash at the turnstile. Its a 24 mile round trip for me to the ticket office so I wouldnt normally buy one in advance unless I thought that it was likely to sell out.

Cibaman there are NO cash turnstyles at the LSV. Anybody who doesn't by a ticket in advance will have to queue at the ticket office on the day so if you haven't got a ticket get there early.
