Swindon always bring a big following to be fair

Even against London we got over 2000.

First ever game at the LSV, Leigh v Salford, 4,500 sell out. Care to remind me on the crowd of the first ever game at your place?

Be fair Matt a good % of Salford's home support follow them away.

This site would be alot better if there was a tumble weed smilie

Good shout Maurice, would love to see that happen. It's the least we could do after last year, granted it had nothing to do with Marwan Koukash but even so.

I hope it's played at LSV I love going there, brilliant stadium and good rugby town.

(H) Sunday 19th January vs Wigan (full strength Wigan team)
(H/A?) Sunday 26th January vs North Wales Crusaders
(H) Friday 31st January vs Salford (full strength Salford team)
(H) Sunday 2nd February vs Warrington (fringe and U20's players for both sides?)

Dates to be announced vs Halifax and Oxford. Don't know if they're first team or Under 20's games or if they're home or away?

Hi Matt

Subject to all three games going ahead it will be as follows:

Fax- Away
Wales- Home LSV
Oxford- Home (Played at Leigh East)

Hope this helps.

Cheers Andy, was just relaying what was on the Reporter story.

Trevor took the story off Paul and me yesterday over the phone and it was a bad line lol

So we've 6 games possibly ?

Yes we've got six fixtures agreed.

Don't forget we have a very large fist team squad (of our own players) and a big pool of quality U20s to select from.

Are any of the proposed matches closer to Christmas? I was hoping I would get to watch the mighty Leythers while I am home for a few weeks.

Sorry Nozzy you will have to hope you have the extended Christmas break that is mooted....

Reds on 31st will be incredible! I will text you the atmosphere!

Well spotted Terry I am getting fed up of slipsod posings on the site.

Folk need to take more care

Serious question - but how many of them will be fit for the start of the season?

Excellent repy.

Mixed emotions on pre season games and their worth to be honest, unsure on the number but looking forwards to it all the same.

The harsh reality is that the Wigan game will be our biggest gate of the season with Salford second, excluding a great Cc home draw of course

Well I think the club have been very smart here because games against full strength Wigan and Salford will surely attract locals who do not normally attend at the LSV and if our lads go well they may continue to attend when the league games start.

These fixtures should also make the club money. And remember the Pies have not won at the LSV since 2009 and these days we always tater Salford.

You beat us once in a preseason game in 2012 how's that always tateringbus us? Plus I doubt very much we'll be full strength against you, Chase won't be playing for a start as he'll be on holiday.

That's the problem though Frank. Wigand and Salford won't play full strength teams against us, so anyone coming for a one off will be disapointed at what will be effectively a SL reserve game.
We also seem to have picked up significant iunjuries in previous pre-season friendlies
