Oh he's bound to have done more than Leigh. Have you heard yourself sometimes





So now he wants 1.4M off the fans, otherwise you will not be running at the full SC, does this mean he is running out of money





7000 members at £17.99 a month is a tall order and he will deservingly be called the messiah of he can get that one fully subscribed

I never put it across that way at all!

Just saying if demand was very high SO'C may have opted to secure some more coaches either by himself or with Leigh too. He did it to Fax so why not? It's great that Leigh put on 4, fantastic! But doesn't mean 100% we'll only do 4!

well done do both clubs for actually pulling together! think you brought 3 or 4 last time .....its gonna be 1 heck of an atmosphere! see how many clubs in SL we can beat on attendence

Be good if we can 'beat one from SL' on the pitch too!

I think he's clever enough to know the sort of reaction there would be if he said that the coaches were full and he wasn't prepared to foot the bill for any himself. Trouble is, he's doing everything right so far which means it will be a bigger fall when he gets summat wrong.

What's the buzz like in lobby land? Reckon you'll get a big turnout? Not sure if last week would have a positive or negative effect with ST holders having to pay but is a big game afterall!

Plenty of talk about it and everyone I've spoken to are looking forward to the game hugely. Whether that will translate to bodies through the turnstile, I don't know, but it'd be great to see 3,000 home fans (only a few hundred more than in the league, let's be honest) which should see a crowd touching 5,000 which would be fantastic.

Missing this one due to work commitments unfortunately. Imagine (hoping) the game will be a lot closer this time. Second half performance was woeful from us last time but exceptional from you lot nevertheless.

Free coach idea for Widnes fans does seem to be a very good idea aslong as this translates to bodies through the turnstyles for both clubs, should be a really good spectacle on sky and hopefully a fantastic advert for Championship Rugby.

Widnes by 4

i'll be a little more realistic and say 4200, although 5000 would be a great attendence! after the comments from our last sky game on the lack of fans we have i would be intrested to see what they say this time

There were 3,000 there last week for the league game. The 7.30 week day factor comes into play on a Thursday, people can't make the game due to work committments. So where are the additional 1200 people going to come from from last week? Plus the 3-400 who won't make it due to work?

Actual att last time was 3198 and included 6-700 Widnes Fans.

Most of our season ticket holders are diehards and I think most Leythers who went last week will want to be there again and I expect even more to go irrespective of it being on TV.

Now if Widnes have indeed sold 1800 tickets the evidence would imply a bigger crowd than for the last game.

well if your guys are bringing 1800 thats way more than double you brought last time, we get our bog standard 2000 plus maybe a few more

Just about, reckon about 800 last time

Hopefully mate!

About more than just Widnes & Leigh if so too. About the Championships as a whole. If we can beat some SL crowds whilst also on TV (Salford /Cru) they'll have to take note

I'm off all week so I'm trying to rally up some troops, Ive made an 'event' on Facebook (if everyone that see's it on their 'shares' it, that would help), Twitter, word of mouth etc.

Really looking forward to it, hopefully if all goes to plan, the centre of Leigh, near The Goose will be full of Cherry and White shirts and flags by 4pm (ish) which should give people coming home from work a chance to see us.

Leigh to win by 18

What's your event called Jimmy? I'll pass it on our side if you like?

Based on the last game, there were probably 2,400ish Leigh fans (based on 800 Widnes fans) to add on Widnes' 1,800 and we should be looking at 4,000 at the very minimum, even when considering the Thursday factor (which does mean there are people who can attend who normally can't on Sunday's etc).

The events called 'Midweek Drinking Session/Rugby Match/ Continued Drinking Session!' Im not sure if it will come up if you search it or not, if not i will pm you with my name and I can just add you on there.

Bugger, that means he'll be able to track a few of us on Facebook via the event

not looking forward to the car park ......thats going to be a rite fecking pain. looks like im finding a side street!

Leave the car at home!

That's true! Ian C & Frankb already trying to lure me in for a

You would be made welcome as would all RL fans.

I want to see the game so expect to arrive at the pub about 5pm.

i wish mate! i will however take the flags home


my boss and i'll not go to work

I'll quite happily ring your office pretending to be your dentist mate, no problem at all
