You're just afraid that you won't get a shout at the top table so can only jump on a team about attendances which shows what a sad/desperate individual you are given your own teams lack of loyal supporters, how many came from Fax, more than a handful right and you couldn't even manage 4k.
I really hope you don't make it, you bring far less than Toronto do by a huge margin, love.

Hull is a bit bigger than Leigh, you silly woman.

p.s. Well done Wigan, you couldn't even beat an 'out of form' Pies team !

The match isn’t in play at the time of the photo. Canadian sports fans don’t show up at venues until the game kicks off or even part way through the 1st half.

Sir Kevin is a Leeds Rhinos fan, he's on their forum quite a lot. Think he just likes any team from planet earth taking part in our game, rather than another M62 team doing well, so to speak. As for Jean, he only posts when a French team wins, or Leigh lose. Not a clue who he actually supports.

Thanks, that’s right, I think expanding the game is a good thing and pleased to see Toronto and Toulouse at the top of the Championship fighting for promotion.

About 150 - 200 possibly, which in fact is one of the best away followings at LSV all season!

I hope Toronto go up, just to see the about turn the SL Club expansionists make when they are disadvantaged with TW blocks of games at end of season when they are hovering in the danger zone & also when they take their once in a lifetime trip to Toronto & hear 9 or 10K announced but look around the ground to see 4K there !

It will be priceless !!!

Is there a point when the Leigh trolls will stop whingeing.
You need to be more concerned with your own team and a little less bothered about the rest of the RL world.

For years, you have moaned about there not being a pathway to SL.

The structure was changed to allow this, you then failed, got promoted, got relegated and then despite all your noise, you may not even make the play offs this time.

Whether Toronto (or Toulouse) should be competing in your league seems to be a reasonable subject for discussion and your obsession with Jean (Canoeman) is just that, an obsession.

You know the rules, you know the structure but, you keep bloody moaning.
Your wife must love it when you actually go to watch Leigh, so that she can get some peace & quiet, until you come back following yet another surprise defeat

You should try to enjoy the SPORT.

Good win for Leigh yesterday, but, you're still moaning

The great thing about the middle 8s is that it creates the opportunity for a larger group of champ teams and enough jeopardy for the bottom SL teams to keep battling to the end of the season. It has achieved it,s goal so baring ditching the million pound game which is not needed and a cruel spectacle. With regard to Toronto and Toulouse again the system has worked moving new teams through divisions allowing them to develop the structures they need. Surely we can’t go back to the dull closed shop approach of franchising?

Like all champ teams Leigh fans just want to be in the mix of the 8s with the opportunity for some big end of season games. The fact that we are finding it tough to get in the top four again testifies to changes that have worked 6 really good champ teams battling it out this year.

What we need is some marketing innovation from RFL not endless structure changes and infighting. Double header challenge cup semi is a good start but let’s market it and fill the Macron.

Just over 5,500 at the Toronto match. A pretty good effort.
