According to the Wakey fans forum it was a forward pass, whilst the first try was obstruction, and the third try was .......yawn, yawn, yawn.

At least Mulhern has avoided the end of season nudie run with Tony Clubb

- First try a cracker.
- Second as far forward as most allowed these days (yes it did look a bit didn’t it)
- Charnley robbed of a clear try by a way too quick whistle blower. The video ref basically said that was the only reason he could not give it.
- but the try of the game was the Ipape one. Locky scored two crackers but his pass to his left in the build up to that try was pure magic.
Wakey fans should complain, but not about what we did or did not do.
Bold prediction time. I think they may be a happier bunch next weekend. I think they will beat Leeds !

Don't let any Salford fans see you posting that -


Salford Reds are based in Salford on the edge of Eccles on the way to Irlam which is a big part of their attendance problem, it's so far from central Salford that a lot of their fans from the Willows day's didn't follow them to the new stadium.

Also, Salford is it's own City in the Greater Manchester conurbation & they don't like the two to be confused.

Maybe LiNZ merely meant that Salford are a club in GREATER Manchester. Then again so are Leigh and Wiggin. To be honest a lot of Salfordians accept the former (and the M postcodes). After the Arena atrocity, there were cuddly bees and worker bee posters in many Salford pubs and a lot of the youngsters had WB tattoos. You won't see that sort of thing from Leythers toward the pies though.

Nice to see you post again, Ste

Almost exactly my idea.
Bolton as an area & the Asian community also are the most untapped but largest potential growth area for a club like Leigh (or even Wigan, but us first hopefully)
Take a game to Bolton, make it Wigan & any remaining seats unsold offer to Bolton Wanderers season tickey holders 'for free'. Not sure of the capacity at Bolton but there is potential to get over 20,000 for that game.

Thanks & hope your well & winning in life pal.

TBH I got a bit fed up with the site for quite a while & it looked like it was dying a slow death. Also I had been away so long I forgot my log in details until I just happened upon the site again tonight.

When opened the then Reebok was announced as a 25K stadium but they have seen 27K+ attendances. But, as Bongser keeps on pointing out, it is in Horwich not Bolton!

28,723 Officially, but whats a few hundred amongst friends. Not even sure why we are having this conversation.
Leigh are not going on the road when they have a stadium to pay for.

The Willows. Loved that place. Played there once also. I’m sure the new ground is far better in every way, but does it have a sole that the fans can connect with. It would seem not.
I was concerned about that for us too, but the North Stand is the sole and heartbeat.

The main problem with Salford's move was that for people in the of town, it took three buses to get to (and three more to get home). Bad shout by Marwan.

When I could afford to watch Leigh regularly and they didn't play Friday night, it takes 2 buses and 1 train there and the same on the journey back. 9 hours round trip with the game included. As I'm partially-sighted I thankfully get free transport in Greater Manc area. But I fully understand anyone's reluctance to rely on public transport.

I will definitely be at CC semi-final so long as it's not Headingley. Too difficult to get to on public transport.

My dad takes the 582 to matches from Atherton, and it's been so unreliable that he's missed two games as a result. I take my bicycle instead. The buses are so crap and unreliable that I wouldn't like to rely upon them.
