Incidentally it was Leigh who requested they play Fev on the Friday and Fev who objected, despite the fact I believe Leigh have to travel to Fev to play them in the league on a Friday.

We are shareholders and Leigh people pay council tax which goes towards the stadium plus it's in Leigh and built for the Leigh community so it's our home - go find your own ground.

Good morning Marshy.

Leigh are playing at Fev, in the Championship. on the Sunday after the cup tie. (unless of course, changes to that one are afoot! )

As for the cup tie arrangements, well they have been a bit of a farce, haven't they? I listened to an interview with Keighley coach Paul March, on Sunday, and he said they were still preparing for a Sunday cup tie - unless they heard to the contrary.

Alan a truer word has never been said, Leigh wanted the Friday night and Swinton confirmed the Sunday with Keighley, Featherstone throw their dummy out of the pram and low and behold the RL come down in favour of them. On Sunday the LSV management were insisting that the RL were looking into this yet they had sent e-mails to Keighley telling them that Leigh's game will be on Sunday..... Dogs dinner springs to mind.

Marshy when you know the date and venue for Lions v Keighley could you post it on here as a few of us Leythers do watch you when we aren't playing.

Aye, more or less snowy.
(the below figures are from 2007 though)


Wigan Council 65%
Leigh Harriers 15%
Leigh Centurions 12%
Leigh East ARLFC 4%
Leigh RMI 4%

Can’t see those being right now.

I’d be amazed if Leigh RMI and even to a lesser extent Leigh East still had a share.
