Starbug here

Surely opening a stadium for 7 hours is cheaper than opening a stadium twice for 6 hours each ?

Strange that they have been managing at Donny so far this year ?

Simply emptying a stand or 2 after the 1 st game and having fans walk back through the turnstyles isn't beyond the capabilities ?

It's 46 years since we put a man on the moon , and yet getting 2 matches on in a RL stadium ( designed to accommodate 4 teams ) on the same day one after the other isn't possible ? , I despair at times , I really do

I think after expenses the Miners will make a better profit playing their tie at Twist Lane.

Starbug here again , but they won't be getting my cash frank , or potentially the other 2,000 that would be happy to turn up early and support them at the LSV prior to the Leigh match

I've only time for 1 day a weekend For RL , no doubt like many others who will choose the Centurions

Just give York and miners the east stand and split that. I don't know what the fuss is about!

Surely, if Leigh/York were told they would get 20% of the gate between them, they'd be satisfied. That's at least 1000 fans, more than they'd get either at Twist Lane or up in York. Why not? I believe it would give a big boost to both Leigh teams, having them play together, getting more fans through the gate to cheer them on. Imagine what a historic day it would be for the town if both were to progress!?

Surely the Centurions could come to some agreement with the Miners/Knights to make sure they are not at least out of pocket. I know I would turn up early to watch both matches, say 1 o'clock Miners, 3 o'clock Leigh. That way we would not be clashing with Chelsea v. Man U. at 5.30.

Have Miners Rangers announced their match details yet?

LMR V York is on the Sunday 19th April KO 2pm at LSV

Quite right. LMR should have their day without having the pro teams day as a distraction.

Really? If I were an amateur player, I'd much rather the opportunity to play in front of potentially 5000 fans in my home town, than 'having my own day' in front of 700. It truly is a once in a lifetime opportunity for most.
