North Stand it is then.

"WE STAND WHERE WE WANT, WE STAND WHERE WE WANT, WE ARE LEYTHERS, WE STAND WHERE WE WANT"

Double post

Nothing to do with a family atmosphere. It's to do with a Leigh atmosphere, they want us tucked away where we wont be seen or heard. Their own fans have said as much on their board.

Honestly, have you lot heard yourselves.

Stewards at Wakey wouldn't look out of place in SS uniforms.

If they're intent on segregating you, they will and some of them are quite agressive.

Take care in gods county and good luck.

What a prat.

Thanks

Well at least we have a view to a kill.

Good luck for tomorrow, do the championship proud. If it's anything like when we were in town you will outnumber and outsing them. It's close to call but no doubt you can do it.

I have backed kay first try scorer and Leigh by between 1-5 at odds of 65-1 on bet 365.

Go on leythers! Love from fax

West it is then! lol

So a complete change from the "no segregation" tweet of earlier in the week. Would normally consider it to be a far fetched theory, but with no threat of trouble whatsoever I only assume it's to avoid the Leigh fans having every advantage to outsing the Wakefield fans. Also means we have a dreadful view with only half a dozen steps.

Strange when you consider there was no issue standing behind the sticks on our previous visits.

They will probably say it's for safety reasons.

There's a bit of a bus shelter at the southerly end of the West Terrace. Admission only granted to our most vocal fans I reckon to amplify things before the rest join in!

Safety reasons? It's hardly Celtic v Rangers



No mention of segregation before today, will be a good atmosphere regardless but it would be much better if the Leigh faithful gather behind the sticks in the North Stand and recreate the LSV experience.

Are you trying to segregate the Leythers now, Matt?

Shall we start in C- minor?

We are not featherstone we behave ourselves !
This is poor from Wakey to send a tweet from their official club page saying no segregation and a few hours later say we have to go in west stand

Well done Wakey in nipping this one in the bud and politely asking Leigh fans to go down the West stand.
Whilst I'm sure there would be no trouble at the game regretfully at big RL games it attracts the once a year brigade out on a jolly and it just takes 1 supporter (from either side) full of ale who to himself is a jovial drunk a bit worse for wear but to an opposition fan is a drunk moron barging into people and before you know it we have handbags with plenty of others caught up in it.
Last time I was on the West stand John Gunning had a blinder against the odds......

Don`t see the problem with being given a designated area. Any team visiting the LSV this season with a good following have been allocated the South Stand and parts of the East for the Bulls.

Starbug here , fairly sure the Fax fans were allocated the south end of the west stand on sunday

I'd say go where you want , if you're then directed elsewhere follow those instructions , we'll just have to sing louder

Also , let's all behave and if we see somebody being a pillock , let's police ourselves and put them straight , as has been alluded to these matches attract the numptys , but we cannot allow them to tarnish both the club and ourselves

I did say a decent away following. there were some Fax fans in the North Stand though.

Its sad when RL fans cant stand/sit together. Starbug is right, lets behave, enjoy it, have a beer but for god sake, we're on national tv, do lets do ourselves and our club proud.

I would wager that the vast majority of Fev fans & any club are ordinary decent folk DJ, not saying that they don't have a 'trouble element' but it is well known that they are Leeds United fans in the main who 'latch on' to Fev when their team is away or football season is over.

Edit.

Hope it's a friendly atmosphere there tomorrow & all you travelling Leythers are in red & white & good voice.

Wish I could be there but have an 11 hour shift in Bolton.

Hope you all enjoy the game (but not the result

)
Re the ground: we've tried polishing it an rolling it in glitter, but the truth is it's not fit for purpose and we're working hard to remedy that. Not easy with no money and no LA support.
The clubs position hasn't changed, it's just been clarified. There is no segregation (like headingley ?) but you will be guided by stewards to enter via the west terrace and congregate there. This has been the way for a while now. The layout of the layout"stadium" means it's impossible to enforce segregation. Tried and failed - made it worse. There will be leigh fans dotted around the ground but the vast majority will be on the west terrace. This has the advantage that you will be heard on tv as the cameras and microphones are at that side but not seen which is a blessing

.
If you were invited to a dinner party would you insist on sitting at the head of the table? Or if you stayed overnight would you demand the master bedroom?
Once again, apologies for the ground, but i go to a match to watch the rugby in a good atmosphere to which vocal away fans are important.
And yes, of course we're worried.

Top honest post.

Let's be sure to all be ushered and stick together on the West and be loud and proud, enjoy ourselves, and be good boys and girls
