I've heard no one mention Bibey's contribution today,I was his biggest critic last season because he used to walk with the ball in hand but not today. He ran hard & made metres all I wanted him to do last season was run with the ball & he did with great impact like I knew he was capable of

I'd be asking more about his lack of support than his lack of pace.

Agreed. Even a couple of players in support might have meant a quick play the ball and a waltz over the line. Great run from Riddy though and he did well to get as far as he did considering he had two tacklers on his tail for at least 30m.

Riddy must be our fastest back, deserved a try for the effort. In Sl it would have been finished off by a winger and would've been the try of the season. None of our wingers were within 20 yards of him when he got tackled. If he'd have gone low 5 yds from line he's have slid over and scored one of the best tries at the LSV. He'll be the player of the season for me now he's fully fit.

Give over, south side of the West looked rammed and it was busier than usual where I stand in the North.

Originally Salford speccies were to be in South Stand but a series of frozen pipes and various other weather initiated issues meant that they were instead seated in West South.

Can you toe the "South Stand wasn't open because Salford have bugger all away support" party line please, Andy?

Looked about 350-400 of them. A lot more than any Championship side brings to our place.

How rude?!

I was a bit surprised we weren't in there as our support has been accused of 'going South' several times

Re: Well Done Leigh : Mon Dec 27, 2010 10:01 pm  

all sounds very encouraging. I don't care who Salford put on the pitch, I assume (as no pro player deliberately sets out to lose) that Salford expected to win this game with the players selected. We also had people that did not play (Govin, Paul for two)

We seem to have a good, young, local, bunch of players. Hopefully this will get the fans coming back in numbers.

Believe me this Leigh team will win the Championship.

Hope they do this with the away supporters for every game.
