I know what your coming from but given they were part of another 100000 fans (until they finally realised they had supported a club that had been worldwide commercial whore for 20 years), its not really a suprise they get a decent following.

Lots of die-hard football fans who are fed up with the prima-donnas, all seater stadia, and sky high prices are watching stand up for £8 non-league football now.

FCUM have an average home attendence of about 1900,today with some promotional work they got over 3000.All I am asking is if we at LRLFC could learn from them.I am not knocking Leigh at all.The FCUM promotion was called Youth United Day & one of the many things they did was to allow all u18`s in for nowt.

FCUM of Manchester's gates have decreased in the past couple of years because Man united have been succesful again. When FCUM first formed it was novelty value and Man united weren't dominating everything.

Out of interest what crowds have Leigh had at home this season? We(halifax) have had over 3000 for our last 2 home games (both against widnes) and on Friday night had more than some of the Super leage clubs.

Looking forward to our trip over there this year, although I think it will have to be put back as we'll be in the CC 5th round when were supposed to play you lot.

We've had gates over 5000 and approaching 7000 so far, and they all paid so can we have a franchise
