Well,well, books in Leigh now, they really have moved on these last couple of years, electricity & gas next its rumoured. Last time I was there, (missionary work, delivering food parcels) they were using knives & forks as jewellery.

If we don't stick 100 on them I'm never going again...

You can keep your ruddy pie parcels to yer self.

We cant send pies to Leigh, they need instruction books to help cope with the crust, buckets of 'gruel' only I'm afraid !!

How about if we take the crusts off first?

Some of you Pieyters need to realise you haven't beaten us since who knows when.

Leigh will provide the shock of the round and like other Leythers I expect us to win by between 6 and 10 points.

Now we are not always right but the only thing we are worried about is our lads being overconfident.

Tremendous stuff. You're bang on. We last beat you in 2009 when we won 32-0. That looks bad but we've only played you once since..

The North Stand will need a deep clean after the Leythers have been.

Leigh get lots of money, get beaten easily and we move onto the next round.

Would have been better at LSV, just hope you help our overdraft and can see you bringing back your injured lads for this
Over 2000 Leythers will be over to watch you wear our colours and remind you why you are pie eaters
Ps have never had as much respect for your club due to your local lads filling the jerseys with pride
Do we need to keep an eye out for your Ultras near our caravans

Lobby v Pie Beltin!!!!

Best get my best clogs out for this one, are your roads still cobble stoned as i don't think the horse and carriage cant take it these days

Is it likely to be all ticket for the away end?

No, that stand holds 4,500.

Cheers.

Nice reaction to the tie on here and the banter has already kicked in.

Let's hope the club runs with this and markets/milks it for all it's worth.

Let's face we are easy favourites to win this one BUT the higher the attendance and the more bouncing the stadium is (HAS to be a Friday night or Saturday afternoon to maximise this) the better for both clubs. It would be a MASSIVE tick for Leighs SL bid if they can draw big game atmospheres.

Probably best to avoid clashing with the tv games if they want a good crowd. A clash with a game on tv gives some people an excuse not to turn up. Whatever game the BBC choose will be on Sat afternoon so best to avoid that altogether. We do have a good marketing department and hopefully people will respond and turn up. It is our first competitive derby with Leigh for 8 years after all.

Fantastic, love a good Wigan V Leigh game, I reckon Leigh will put up a better fight against us than most teams in Super League, ill go for 54-14 Wigan win. Can't wait.

Let's hope it's a Friday night game. I can't state how much of a dislike I have for Sunday afternoon games. When we play on a Sunday there is hardly any atmosphere and it just doesn't get going.

On a slightly off topic view I'd argue the town centre pubs suffer with Sunday kick offs. I know a few bars in town get regular trade after a Friday night game and go out of their way to entice people who been to the match.

That puts us even more at the heart of the community imo.

Completely agree. Then a quick drive up to Whitehaven on the weekend for some old-fashioned biff: sod Stains & Whinos.

A good chance to give a few youngsters a crack and a desperately needed pay day for an impoverished part of Wigan. Good stuff.

Yes, give your kids a go! [iWe never beat them...[/i

Charlie is really looking forward to this clash , 90% of my relatives are Wiganers ,i spend a lot of time in Pieland , and on the Friday before the game will be attending a Sportsmans Dinner at St Judes , a good warm up , i may even sit with my Pie relatives and chauve them





.

I wouldn't go wholesale as you do have a fierce rivalry with our under 19s. Something like:

FB 1 Sam
RW 2 Charnley
RC 22 Gelling
LC 17 Thornley
LW 37 Manfredi
SO 6 Green
SH 24 Powell
P 19 Prescott
H 23 Logan
P 10 Mossop
SR 11 Hansen
SR 16 Tuson
LF 12 Farrell

S 4 Hughes
S 8 Lauaki
S 20 Dudson
S 32 Hampshire

Hoping for a Friday night game, otherwise engaged on the sunday.
