Have to say that from West Stand North, apart from a few moments I was very surprised how quiet the NS was - probably more so in the 1st, but with Leigh not playing well and towards the south it was understandable

North stand was very quiet last week must do better. Half hearted numb nuts song nowt much else

I couldn't get down to the ground last week so paid now tv through my PS and watched it on Sly and my wife couldn't believe how much noise was being made, as it came over really well. Then it started he's one off your....... , i was so embarrassed my wife couldn't understand why they were singing about him and with so many women and children, she said "i thought it was supposed to be for families" i said it is and it's like a tribal thing/ banter ( or that's how those chanting it see it with him and the away team being from Yorkshire) Personally i think it's 10 times worse than the Flute song and something you would expect at wendy ball but not RL, mind you i am nearly 50 so getting grumpier by the hour

I was in the North Stand Col & it was loud & often so. In fact, I watched the game back & it was confirmed on TV, I think I heard Leeds once, maybe twice.

Wish the West would join in a bit, though the J.S song (North Stand speccies) needs dropping, the sicko's name should never be mentioned again.

Saints have sold almost up to the half way line of the East Stand. In danger of getting out sung at this rate unless the dormant Leythers pull their fingers out and get some tickets bought!

Totally agree Ste,The ira song should be too. I just feel we are lowering ourselves singing with such reprehensible material. After saying that,we would need to replace them with something else,otherwise we'll be in the library just like the west stand.

Not nearly so loud as you think. Wire set the benchmark for that end both in volume and wit. Leigh have yet to get near

Re: Saints sold out South and selling East : Fri Feb 24, 2017 4:35 pm  

Wire had their arses shown them for noise in the CC, but side noise has more impact

North Stand sold out. Over 8,000 tickets gone, so far. https://leighrl.co.uk/wp/blog/2017/02/2 ... s-tonight/ Should be a cracking atmosphere.

What's our capacity for this game because if i have understood the figures announced correctly Saints have sold 3K and we have sold over 8K but i thought the capacity was 10ish so have Saints not sold 3K ?. Either way top effort by Saints and should be one of if, not the best atmospheres for a home game

Re: Saints sold out South and selling East : Fri Feb 24, 2017 6:53 pm  

I thought it was 8k sold on total, including 3k by saints?
