Went to leigh today and wondered were all these super league fans are???

Just short of 8k bothered to turn up and a vast majority were from the national leagues

So were are all the pop corn munching super league fans?

Now don't give me the usual I can't get there theres no train link seeing as you could get off at atherton and catch the bus which is actual shorter a distance than if you travelled to huddersfield on the train and route marched to to the ground.

Now leigh get told they are too close to other super league clubs well judging by the attendance we must be at least 3 light years away as 14k wigan,11k warrington 8k saints fans couldnt travel the vast distance

So by judging this leigh should get a bonus point as we are light years from other clubs

Think most people would rather watch the Football world cup then a meaningless friendly.

And made yourselves sound rather silly live on National TV, so much so that even Eddie pointed it out.

If you had turned up maybe you could have drowned them out eh muncher?

Most were Wigan fans.

Few streets in Wigan.

Pretty good attendance that, I was expecting around 5000 fans. Yorkshire fans don,t travel well this side of the pennines.

Don't really understand the point of the OP. In my immediate vicinity, it was pretty much a three way split between Leigh, Warrington and Wigan fans from what I could tell (with a sprinkling of St Helens) and visible club colours around the stadium told a similar story.

The comment about Yorkshire fans not travelling is valid, there were very few Yorkshire club shirts or telltale accents from my encounters. Credit to the few that made the trip over, but it either shows how few people really care about international RL, or how crucially important it is for RL grounds to be served by a nearby railway station..!

I just got back from London, Yorkshire fans dont travel my backside!

Railway station ??? it easier to travel to leigh than huddersfield infact,it easier to get to than most grounds simple fact the pop corn super league only wants to watch there own team crunch the welsh wanderers and other cannon fooder

If the england ru team was playing a nazi war criminal team 80k would turn up while the usual pop corn crunching super league fan would sit at home picking his booty and bemoan they get better exposure

The games fooked,middle of heartland and not full

Well its just that your side of the Pennines isn’t pretty. Over here we have the Yorkshire dales whilst all you probably have is abandoned sports fields.

You don’t do natural beauty well and we don’t travel well.

Lets just settle on that score

Genuine guess as i've never seen you post before but are you a wire fan? Because I thought there were a LOT more saints fans than wire fans today. Leigh and Wigan made up a large amount with a lot of saints fans too. Wire brought a respectable amount and everyone else was far far less represented.
