I tend to agree there Derek, though a fair few Leythers think there will be a lot less on , I will be disappointed anything less than 5000, after the money Derek has spent , the quality of players on view,and the fact that we are playing Wigan, I'm also going for a Leythers win of at least 10, maybe 20.

Hope you right CC, but 5k for a full price friendly seems a big ask to me - can't see me attending if I'm honest, despite the grandson nagging me

Not me I am working.

ColD you are right about the price for a friendly, and it will put a few Wiganers off, I just think fans should show Derek how much they appreciate his spending,the season before last our break even crowd was 2000, I don't know what last season's break even was?I would think this season must be around 4000- 4500 ,can we achieve this?I think we can but we must start on Sunday.This will be the defining season for our SL destiny for me,we need to start by showing Derek and the Team we will be with them in decent numbers, I HOPE I'm right.

It will put a few pies off especially as we are letting them show it on Wigan TV.

North Stand here we come..well 2 of us anyway

Think Pownall went home to see a dentist with an abscess. Don't know how long that'll take to heal but don't think he went home with any sort of sporting injury.

I'll be there. Not sure we'll get 5,000 on for a friendly but w!g@n usually bring quite a few so ~3,500-4,000 wouldn't surprise me.

I'm off to Widnes.Whatever happened to Leon Trotsky?

I will be in attendance as I would any game v the Old enemy and am hoping we gave them a right old tattering.

I do feel sorry for the 'security operative' who will be searching the away fans, he'll need quarantining after a day touching up the Humble fans.
See you Sunday.

I seem to remember an ice pick and burning ears

Got my tickets today + matey boy's & 1 for his young Son.

Ticket office said "plenty left" for the North Stand so maybe not as many as I initially thought will attend.
Maybe 4,500 - I had hoped for nearer 6,000.

Lot's of Pies I have spoken to are gobsmacked at £20 for a friendly & won't be going.

I agree that Leigh fans should be repaying DB & the whole team by turning up in big numbers, not just this Sunday but for every home game.

As usual I will be there but

with 6 family members who don't usually attend.

I will be going obviously. Not to repay anybody, but because MY team are playing.

The reason people go to the LSV is to support the team. The constant references to money invested and repaying and thank yous are becoming tiresome.

Me too. Although the minute's applause for Tommy Sale is another reason to be there.

Well, The more that turn up = More revenue for the club = A more prosperous,successful, and better club.

I'm going,new shirt,new thermal bop cap..Preparation is a good thing.

Don't worry Reffy I'll replace them with some proper officiall bashing for the first half of the season.

I'll be there! Really can't wait to get the shirt on and get back home.

Is it likely to go ahead? Snowing a lot here

I knew there was something I was missing.

Guess you don't let the moths out of your wallet Reffy...

Just logged on to the Official LCRLFC site & there is no mention of any cancellation of todays game, should be A.O.K what with the undersoil heating etc.

Leigh RL have also reported lot's of fans already buying tickets this morning & have advised people to get down early to buy tickets.

Game is definitely on.

Dont think it would be the pitch itself that would be the issue, more the terracing and surrounding areas

Game is defiantly on. From @LeighCenturions twitter this morning. https://twitter.com/LeighCenturions/sta ... 8571403264
